Hi, I have just weighed myself for first time since booking in apt, i'm 38weeks now, and ive put on over 2stone!!!
I thought i'd done pretty well, dont feel like a house, surely this cant be right.
i wouldnt care but, ive not had much appetite at all through most of the pregnancy, so i'm really shocked!!
how much have you all put on/ did you all put on?

thats normal.

i'm 32 weeks and have put on about a stone and a half, slightly less.

!st pg i put on 3, second one 2 stone, will prob be about 2 stone again.

Sooo much of it is baby and support system though - well over a stone. Then add to that breasts, extra water (can weigh 3lbs or so), then you will see maternal fat is very little.

With my dd2 I went from 9 and a half to 12 and a half stone. Two weeks after her birth I was back down to 10 stone and could get in my jeans.

2 stone??

is that all?

I think thats quite low tbh.

I put on about 3- 3.5 during each PG.

(thankfully lost it all easily after)

have 3 weeks left and have put on 3 stone! am blaming water retention and boobs! have gone from 34b to 36e! thats got to add some weight! hoping it will come off afterwards!

Well am 29 + 4 and I haven't put on anything yet. I actually lost weight with MS and then got the norovirus over Xmas so lost more (all in all about a stone and a half), and as of today have still not got back up to my pre pregnancy weight (but to be honest I was a little over weight to begin with so I am quite pleased not to have gone over what I weighed before! )

I put on about 3 - 3.5 stone and found it bloody difficult to lose again afterwards. In fact, I just managed it over 13 months, only to find I am pg again. I am hoping to only make it 2 stone this time, I think that is very little really.

10kg - had lost it by time DD was 5days old!

My first time, about 2 stone. From 12st 4 to 14st something.

10lbs was baby, 2.2lbs was placenta, god knows how much was water and blood volume!

So far, 9 weeks, 2 lbs down on the deal.

2 stone- lost a stone in the days after the birth and the other stone was flab which took about 6 months to shift.

Two stone is completely normal! I put on 1 and a half stone, but that was because I had morning sickness for the first two trimesters. The third I made up for it in cake!
I lost the first stone easily, the other half seemed to stick, and now I'm PG again, so I'm waiting until I finish breastfeeding this one (I hope) to worry about losing the weight from both pregnancies.

Thanks for making me feel 'normal'
this is my third, but never weighed myself before when so close so i was quite shocked!
I hope i manage to shift it pretty quickly. seems like most of you have managed to get it off so fingers crossed.
thanks, i might have some pudding now!!

2 st is pretty good. I put on 1.5 stone the 1st time and just under 2 the second. Don't worry about losing it! If you bf it should fall off! Good luck

I put on 4 stone. I didn't eat that much more than normal and I was very slim before pregnancy, so not sure how it happened, really!

2lb with the last one. didnt with the first two. ended up weighing less than before pregnant each time. had hyperemeis gravidium each time.

about 2.5-3st.

one stone of which is still following me round one year on . But most disappeared!

Probs well over 3 stone, however, I'm convincing myself it's all because I was quite a skinny minnie to start with and it's my body compensating. Or I've just been a greedy cow

I gained 4.5st. I was 8.5st pre pg and went up to 13st.
I had an Emg C Section so after 6 weeks have only gone down to 11.3st due to not doing anything much but 1.5st of that was from birth and within the first week.

So dont worry, u will prob lose the 2st no probs!!

For DD1 I only put on a stone. Don't shoot me, but I am of a tiny size 8-10 build and I did have a 5lb baby. Though I did eat what I wanted to, but I did walk the dog everyday and I think thats what did it!

Get a dog!

2 stone not bad. I put that on with DD1 & 1.5 with DD2 but my SIL leaves in spain Preg at mo she's only allowed to put on 9 lbs that includes baby!!

4.5 stone with both DS and then DD. If anyone had suggested I should only put on so much I would have not been impressed .

I lost 1/2 stone in first trimester, then put on 2 stone. Took me up to 100kg. yikes!

Oh, just a little warning - I weighed myself after the birth and I hadn't lost ANYTHING!!

Guess this was fluid, and milk coming in, I don't know... but it was horrible! 7lb 10oz of baby came out of me and I still weighed the same.

Had lost a stone after a week though, so don't worry if this happens :-p

Hi Ladies.. I'd like some advice from you ladies that are on more than your first pregnancy. I gained nearly 3 stone with my first and when I got pregnant with my second I was still carrying a stone of extra weight. I'm now 15 weeks and have only gained 1lb. I'm not dieting, just being busy with a toddler and not overeating. If I only gain 15llbs this time as advised for women that are overweight. Does this mean I should get back to my pre pregnancy weight pretty much after birth? any similar stories of much lower weight gain and how you fared would bemuch appreciated

Thank you

Hi guys. Im 8 weeks now and it's my first pregancy and I feel nauseas all day long, but especially in the morning. I worked it out that it gets bad when i have empty stomach, so after a long night sleeping it gets very bad. To be able to get on with my work day I keep snacking all day long and its makes me feel a bit better. Because of this I'm putting on weight quite quickly. What shall I Do?
