How much weight had you put on by 16wks?he

[CrazyAlien06]

Hey :-)
I'm 16+1 today and a bit worried about gaining weight. I seemed to have gained only 2lb so far! I do walk my dog for half hour each day and am eating what i normally eat pre pregnancy- should i be eating more ?!
I haven't got a bump yet :(

I have my 16wk check with mw tomoz so I'm sure she ll check all ok?

Thanks

i weighed myself for the 1st time since 9 weeks pg last week when i was 17+5 weeks pg.

I had HG so by 9 weeks i was a stone less than i was at 5 weeks pg.
At 18 weeks i was 2kg heavier than i was at 5 weeks, (so had put back on that stone i lost in the early weeks and 2 more kg as well)

I'd lost way too much at this stage due to severe sickness - not that you'd have known by the time I was full term, I went from skeletal to huge.

I wouldn't worry too much, it's sounds like you are eating well and are getting some excercise walking your dog.

I only put on a couple of lbs during the first 16-18 weeks, i was getting a bit worried too the midwife said it didn't matter though.
I then put on almost 2 stone during weeks 20-30, i think its very induvidual how much and when you put weight on so as long as you are eating a good diet don't worry.

I'm 16 weeks today and I've put on 1 kg (about 2 pounds) compared to pre-pregnancy weight, but I lost 1kg through sickness so in effect I've put on 2...

However, my boobs have gone up a size and in the last 4 days I have definately got a bump! DH keep commenting on it as last week my stomach was flat

I'm seeing the gynecologist today. I'm sure she'll have some comment to make about my weight but not sure what it'll be. 4 weeks ago she told me I need to start putting on weight. I'm hoping 1kg will satisfy her.

None, but now at 25 weeks i've put on 2kg. Have been reassured several times that this is completely ok. Let's just count ourselves lucky! Unless you were teeny tiny to start with, in which case I suppose it might be different. I was (and still am) a size 12, now on the larger side, then on the smaller side.

I'm 31 weeks and I'm 59.7kg. My MW booking in weight was 59kg so I have put on a grand total of 0.7kg. The MW and consultant have been monitoring my weight regularly. I have no idea what that is in pounds but its all due to hyperemesis. Have you had much sickness OP?

at 16 weeks I had put on 1.6kg, now at 18 + 3 i've put on 4.1kg but bump is getting bgger and I'm eating more. i only weighed 60kg at the start though.

I'll be 16 weeks on Wednesday and I've put on 2kg. Didn't have sickness (just nausea) and have been eating carbs mostly. Sometimes I'm thinking that if I wasn't pregnant I'd have put on a lot more. But yeah, I wouldn't worry!

Your weight gain is totally normal. I gained about 3-4lbs by 16 weeks (pre-preg BMI 19). I had no morning sickness and ate normally, and excercised... However, it all caught up with me now 37 weeks and put on 26 lbs look and feel like an elephant ... Don't worry about it -- you will gain weight later!

You'll put more on in the next few months. That's when the vast majority of weight goes on iirc.

At 16wks I'd gained 4 or 5lbs max. Made up for it in the next 10 weeks though.

Please don't worry.

I'm 17 weeks and have gained about 2lbs. My BMI is normal and I have been eating fairly normally. (Fairly as seem to have swapped booze calories for those in sweets....).

I think there's plenty of time yet to be piling it on!

I'll be 16 weeks on Wednesday and I've lost half a stone since getting pregnant... Not had any sickness, and my appetite is normal (which means small, for me)

I'm trying not to worry too much about it as long as everything comes back normal with baby, which it has done so far. I reckon it's alcohol-weight that I'm losing as that was where I got most of my calories from pre-pregnancy

Try not to worry, it's different for everyone and I guess it depends on what your 'habits' were pre- and post-pregnancy!

Wow - I'm jealous - I've put on A LOT and only 16 weeks.

I'm 23 weeks and have put on 1 lb (I'm just under 9 stone). I lost about 8 or 9 pounds in the first few weeks.

I am still sick once a day, not much though, only at night and sometimes in the morning and only after a largish meal.

Had a scan today and my baby is normal weight, bang in the middle.

Midwives and ob/gyns have said it's fine.

(I put on 4 stone with my first so I'm very happy!)

Hi nope I've not been sick at just been eating same amount as normal and exercising as normal!
Just want my bump though as feel fat as have a podge which I'm not used to!

None. And my MW was annoyed. Didn't put on any until 20+ weeks and have only put on 10kg in total (and am overdue).

You'll put on enough for baby and if they're concerned you'll be sent for growth scans etc., but some women don't gain hugely, especially if you're eating and exercising normally.

You lucky lucky ladies! I'm 20 weeks and I've put on nearly 2 stone. I'm not eating loads - around 2000 calories a day ... but this is probably double my pre-pregnancy diet! Ooops! x

Hi there,

I was thinking exactly the same at 16 weeks - asked at my appointment to be told all is fine only a couple of days later for a little bump to appear and to put on 4lbs over night! Bonkers! (still 2lbs overall loss since preggers though)
