You are likely to really lose your appetite as pregnancy progresses. In first tri, I was an animal. Now, I eat a fair bit, but molten have to really force myself, esp in the evenings, when all I really want is breadsticks and cream cheese!

I had put on about 2kg by that time, but I think most of it was water retention. As I couldn't do up the buttons of my trousers, but then a few weeks later I could do them up again. Now at 16w I'm still at 2kg more than my pre-pregnancy weight (can't do the buttons up anymore though, unfortunately, but still not a big enough bump for maternity clothes).

Lost about 4kgs. Had horrendous morning sickness. Was very pleased that I only put in 17kgs during my whole (twin) pregnancy.

Best part was that I lost 2.5 stone in 4 weeks after I had the giant babies.

rreow you don't need a big bump to wear maternity clothes - maternity trousers are certainly more comfortable even at that stage than too tight waistbands or walking around with buttons open. I have several pairs of trousers and jeans already.

Now you know why they don't routinely weigh pg women during antenatal checks! There really is no wrong or right.

I was always weighed during my antenatal checks.

I was never weighed once, during three pregnancies.

That was the policy here in Surrey, anyway, maybe other health authorities do it differently.

I was weighed at my first scan and at booking in appointments, mostly to see if I needed a GTT (I did) but they said they don't do any more weigh ins after those.

I'm 12 weeks and have gained 3kg. My BMI was 21 and is now 23. I had gained 4kg, but in the last 2 weeks the bloating has improved and I've lost a kg (in water?!!! )
Like others I did plenty of exercise and ate really healthily, but I've had nausea but no vomiting -hence eating and dropping exercise-that has improved slightly in the last few days so have stopped troughing and started exercise too! Hoping to slow the weight gain down now, but really, it took so long to get pregnant, my priority is more to get to term and have a healthy baby - I'll worry about the weight next year!

I started pg1 at size 6, gained a stone in first trimester - craved cream eggs
Pg2 started at size 10 - gained a stone in first trimester - craved fruit salad
Ph3 started at size 12 - gained a stone in first trimester - craved curry, hotter the better.
Now working on getting back to size 10.... Or 12.

My first pg was in Surrey, 5y ago, Cointreau. Maybe it was either a hospital decision, or your MWs didn't think you needed it. Whichever, I was weighed every time I went to an appt at the ANC (not at the GP surgery though)

Thanks for all the replies! I managed to walk to work and back today (35 mins both ways) so fx I can keep that up! Mellow I'm hoping I'm like you and a lot of this is water ! Had to buy some bigger jeans today!

Dont worry about, could be water, constpation, ur body layering up! Leggings and loose over sized jumpers have saved me this xmas, im 23 weeks.

Jesus ive had that before i get out of bed!lol enoy your self and pregnancy, try steer the prossesed crap , which is easier said than done--im eagerly awaiting a take away from my DP for tea ! xxx
