I know, I know, we're all different etc, but how much weight have you gained?

at 21 weeks....?

I know I shouldn't be worrying, but I feel the weight is creeping up a little quickly in this pregnancy

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

just over half a stone at 22 weeks...

BeautifulBlondePineapple · 04/02/2011 21:26

I'm 18 weeks and I've gained 12 pounds. Feel fat and cumbersome already!

DaisyFields · 04/02/2011 21:26

22 weeks and only gained 6lbs, lost so much at the beginning with sickness - it's a worry no matter whereabouts on the scale you are. As long as your midwife/doc isn't concerned, I'd try and put it out of the forefront of your mind, you don't need another thing to stress over! Much healthier to be a happy mum with a varied diet, I bet you look blooming marvellous :)

Not sure how much I had gained at 21 weeks but at 39 + 2 I am at 33 lbs over my pre birth weight. I had quite a lot of trouble putting weight on in the second trimester and actually lost weight at some point but I think I am about average now. My midwife said to concentrate on eating protein at every meal and snack and less on eating carbohydrates for healthy weight gain. If you are eating healthily then I wouldn;t give the weight gain another thought!

Eglu · 04/02/2011 21:28

I'm 18 weeks and have put on about 5-6lbs. Quite happy with that.

hmmm.....thanks everyone :) I have gained 11 lbs so far. I guess that sounds pretty normal. I just know that in my previous pregnancies I had put on less by this stage, and still had a way to go - I had put on about 2 stone each time by the end and am panicking that that will make me pretty hefty!

skinnymalinkylonglegs · 04/02/2011 21:52

don't think two stone is that much to put on, is it?!...think that's what I put on the last time. I did have a pretty big baby though :)

clarabella18 · 04/02/2011 22:38

I'm 25 weeks and so far have lost 8lbs. To be honest though I have more than enough to spare spoke to my midwife last week and she wasn't worried at all. Said baba was the right size and that was theain thing.

thornykate · 04/02/2011 23:24

When I read these posts & what the guidelines say I feel pretty bad as last time I weighed myself I had gained 24lbs at 22 weeks!

Ths is more than last time but I dont seem really huge; I can still get in my larger jeans with the top button undone so am not really sure where the weight is...perhaps I have just slowly stretched all my clothes out to a couple of sizes bigger without realising?!

CapsizeQueen · 04/02/2011 23:27

13lbs and was a bit overweight to start with. Ate huge amounts in first trimester due to sickness, and only put on a further 2 pounds since 15 weeks. Am 20 weeks.

clarebear1 · 04/02/2011 23:53

Im 32 weeks and put on 2 stone 8lb :-0

1Catherine1 · 05/02/2011 00:48

No matter how your weight changes you worry. Really is best to put those scales away for a while :)

Crystylline · 05/02/2011 07:31

put on 2.5 stone over my pregnancy. by 21/22 weeks i'd put on about 1.5 stone!

I've put on a stone by 15 weeks . I put on a lot when pg with DC1 as well but all went again afterwards so not going to panic. and nor should you. I think everyone's bodies just "do" pregnancy differently. I am always ravenously hungry so not going to starve myself for the sake of a few pounds.

NewMummy5July2011 · 05/02/2011 08:41

I'm 19 weeks and think I've put on around 10-12 pounds so far, but I agree with the others, as long as you eat healthily I wouldn't focus on the weight gain. I'm hungry alot and figure my body will do what it wants to anyway!

Bex22 · 05/02/2011 20:53

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I've put on about 24 pounds- I'm only 20 weeks too. I don't feel great about this but what to do?? I feel constantly hungry and faint- obviously blood sugar yo-yoing like no one's business!! I have to say that I haven't found it too difficult to shift the weight in my two previous pregnancies (thanks to good old Davina and my normal eating patterns!!!) and got back to a BMI of about 22 each time so not too worried!! I'm just going with how my body feels really- HUNGRY!!!

mrsnich84 · 05/02/2011 21:00

ive put on 12lbs and im 27 weeks. most of that has gone on since 20 weeks. But i was a fatty to begin with so i was hoping I wouldnt gain too much.

ariane5 · 05/02/2011 21:20

with all 3 of my pregnancies i started at 9 stone and even with severe morning sickness i was 10 and half stone at 12 weeks! i went up to 13 stone with dd1, 12 and half with ds and 12 with dd2!

It all came off within a few weeks afterwards though just with breastfeeding, walking and being busy!

GintyMarlow · 05/02/2011 21:28

With both my pregnancies I put on at least 4.5 stone. Probably wasn't that much at 21 weeks due to sickness until 12 weeks where I probably lost about half a stone.

It all came off again (pretty quickly with DS as I weighed less than I did pre pg with him when I got pg with DD 13 months later). Took abut longer with DD .

Must have looked daft by the end as I put on more than half my pre pg weight.

NancyDrewHasaClue · 05/02/2011 21:29

4th baby, by 21 weeks I'd put on about 10lbs.

I put on another 8lbs between 21-28 weeks and then lost 6lbs between 28 and 34 weeks.

I was a normal weight pre pregnancy so my total gain to 34 weeks is 12lbs. MW commented that I need to watch my diet to ensure that I don't lose anymore.

rednose · 05/02/2011 21:41

2nd baby and have gained 22lbs and I am worried I as I enter the last trimester when I am likely to gain most- I like to blame a malfunctioning thyroid but to be honest I am overeating as I feel hungry!

I lost all my weight easily(through breast feeding) last time and think I am foolishly overeating thinking the same will happen again
Pregnancy is a time for some indulgence though!

Figgyrolls · 05/02/2011 21:48

in my first pregnancy I put on 9lbs at 21 weeks
in second that had raised to 14lbs

in total 1st 35lbs 2nd 36lbs

wolfcubEm83 · 06/02/2011 11:07

Im 19+2 and i havent changed weight at all, not a single pound, theres definately a baby in there tho, i can feel it

Pinetreeland · 06/02/2011 11:25

I am 38+4 and have so far put on 13kg. although it feels like i am almost putting on 1kg a week in the last couple of weeks.
