Hello all.
Hope everyone is well. :)
Just wanted to ask a really cheeky question about how much weight you've gained so far? I've just come back from a fortnights holiday this weekend and was a bit shocked when I finally plucked up the courage to get on the scales this morning. I've gained 13 pounds in total this pregnancy, and 7 pounds of which has gone on in the past 3 weeks (when I last weighed myself), and so clearly went a tad overboard on holiday! I'm 18+1 at the moment so not even halfway yet!
I guess I just want to get some idea of how much is 'average' to have gained by this point. I know in the grand scheme of things the weight gain isn't that important as long as me and baby are well (which we are), but I have to be honest and say I've had a lot of eating disordered issues in the past (I've been both very overweight and very underweight in the past) and although I've managed well and been a healthy weight for several years now pre-pregnancy - BMI of 24 pre-pregnancy, I guess I'm just finding it a bit harder than I thought I would to deal with the weight gain and my body changing, probably because it all feels a bit out of my control. If I could get some idea of what was a 'normal' amount of weight gain at each point in pregnancy was at least I know roughly what I should weigh, which I think I would find helpful.
Many thanks! x
