What was your weight gain at 19 weeks...?

[trudie100]

Hi ladies

I just wanted to ask how much weight you'd gained by 19/20 weeks....

I was small before I got pregnant (Uk size 8, weighed 8 stone- 112 pounds)

Now at 19 weeks ive put on just over a stone!

This seems like alot to me although i dont actually look like ive put on alot of weight (see pic), my boobs have got alot bigger so im wondering how many pounds they make up lol

I just wondered if anyone else has put on this kind of weight who was around my size to begin with?

Hi,

I've also put a stone one, hehe.

Is that bad? lol

Hi Trudie,

Dont worry Im just the same, I was 20 weeks on Tuesday, Im a uk size 6 and weighed approx 7 and half stone before I got pregnant now I nearly way 8 and a half so Ive put on a stone, but ive been reading posts of women about 22 - 24 weeks having put on a stone and a half so I reckon this is about average
Hope this helps xx

well i'm the opposite to you really lol

I weighed 14st 7lb when i found out i was pregnant, now i weigh 14st 9lb, but i am a BIG girl anyway. My Midwife told me she would be looking for me to put on no more than 7lb through out, thats because i've already got 5st worth of extra fat in the first place

Personally i wouldn't say putting on a stone at 19 weeks is alot. You look amazing still and have the cutest bump! xx

Oh and i was watching 16 and Pregnant (the american programme) and a midwife advised the girl that they expect someone during pregnancy to gain between 24-36lb!! I was a little shocked by this, but obviously it must be a norm x

Hey trudie, I'm the same build as u, 5ft 3 weighed.7st 10 pre pregnancy and have put on 11 pounds !!! It seems to be mostly bump um getting huge people think its twins or ask me if I'm sure my dates are correct :/ x

[Nicnbaby26]

I've put on 8.8lb and I'm sitting at 20 weeks..I'm a bigger girl anyway hoping not to put on more than a stone throughout

 

[trudie100]

Thanks ladies! im glad that some of you have put on a simular amount of weight at this point! I have a feeling i'll put on around 3 stone if i carry on like this lol - but i was a gym freak before i fell pregnant so im hoping ill be able to lose it again asap x

I haven't been weighed this week, but I was weighed last week and so far I put on 8.5lbs but then I was 12st 2lbs to begin with, so not exactly as light as I should be (I should be about 10st for my height), I think if you're skinny to start with you are meant to put on more weight throughout than if you're more overweight.

My midwife actually said that to me hun, she said sometimes when your smaller to begin with you do gain more and you show sooner.

I put most of my weight on in 1st trimester, by 12 weeks id put on about 10lbs! which seemed alot, but in the 2nd trimester i seem to be gaining weight gradually so maybe it'll even out... who knows lol x

 

[Kaede351]

Haha, likewise! I'd put 8lbs on by about 14 weeks. So I don't think I'm doing too badly really. Although to be fair, at the moment it looks like I'm putting on between 1/2lb and 1lb a week. I lost 1lb the week after I got weighed the first time (at 14 weeks), then I put 1lb on after that and 1/2lb on after that. But to be honest I wouldn't mind if I put 1lb on a week... I think that would make my weight gain just a little over what I was told would be "normal" for me. And at least 6lb (if not more) of that will be baby and about 2/3lb will be placenta.

I was on slimming world before my bfp and lost nearly 3stone, just so I could get pregnant. So the thought of pregnancy weight is something I've waited a very very long time for haha. I don't really care how much I gain because I can lose it again afterwards haha.

I've heard smaller ladies tend to put on more weight than larger ladies - as long as it's not all takeaway-and-chips weight then you're all good!

 

[NicolaWynne]

I was about the same as you pre pregnancy and ive put on a stone too. Think its normal hun x

 

[Star7890]

Ive put on about 7lbs at nearly 19 weeks xx

 

[trudie100]

I used to do 4-5 gym classes a week before I fell pregnant and as i had a miscarriage in March this year, when i got pregnant again in June i stopped working out as I was so scared id lose the baby again

I think some of my weight gain is from going from exercising 4 times a week to doing nothing! i waited until i was 13 weeks before I started working out again as I was that scared!

Im definately eating more than normal, and all i want is carbs so im hoping that now im doing some kind of exercise my weight gain wont be too bad! x

 

[_jellybean_]

about 25 pounds, lol...was a bit underweight before becoming pregnant, so doc was happy

 

[kayleigh&bump]

12st5 pre preg, 13st3 now so almost a stone. I have been eating alot though

 

[trudie100]

Ive been eating loads too! my appetites just crazy at the minute lol x

 

[mrsballtobe]

sounds exactly like me, before i fell pregnant i was 8 stone 8, and went to the gym 5- a week for 2 hours a time, classes, cardio and weights, when i fell i felt so rough and lacked the energy i used to have and didnt go for what seemed like ages! and currnely have SPD so cant work out propley anywya now, and obviously started eating more carbs etc as my diet was so strict before.
i put on well over a stone at 19 weeks and currently weigh 10 and a half stone at 24 weeks which to me seems HUGE! im pretty much all bump (and bum!) but i started showing early and whacked the weight on early, so has slowed down in 2nd tri, but still probably looking at gaining about 3 stone even now people assume im ready to drop as im pretty big and always get 'your huge/massive' comments!
i try not to beat myself up about it though as i know ive got the motavation and LOVE the gym and working out so hopefully will get my body back after ive had my little princess!
