Am I A Porker?

[AmyP]

I am 31 weeks and have put on 2 stone. This seems like loads to me. I don't look "fat" and my arms/legs/face are pretty much the same. Where is all that weight??

Extra blood and fluid!

AmyP don't worry. I'm 37 wks on Thursday and I've put on just over 3 stone and its all bump with a bit on my bum and thighs. MW said my weight gain was normal. Every woman is different.

extra blood, fluid, placenta, uterus, baby, extra breast tissue, amniotic fluid, some extra fat........

really, that is ok....you need to gain some weight !

Is that it? You are so lucky! With DD i put on 5 stone!!!! Was very disappointed after having her to only have lost a stone though! Am determined not to put on so much this time! Am 12 n a half weeks n have lost a stone yet gained a huge belly so not sure quite how that wrks!!!!

I put on 4 stone with DS but I did think it was license to eat like a pig and it would all drop off in the delivery room

With DD I put on 1 stone as I limited myself to one treat per day and most of that came off when she was born and this time round I am 25 weeks and have put on 1/2 stone.

Thanks for your messages, I it sounds like 2 stone is a fairly OK amount to have put on. Can I have that extra mince pie then?

2 stone - I'd put that on at about week 20 with both dd's - I eventually put on 4 stone with both of them! Mind you I did wee for England for a few weeks after the births!

With that weight gain you'll spring back into shape!
