How much weight gain?

[Sammyjayne489]

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and just wanted reassuring that I haven't gained an unusual amount of weight!
Before I got pregnant I was 8stone 5pounds normal bmi, size 8, and now at 27 wks pregnant I'm 9stone 11pounds! Is this a normal weight gain?
I generally eat healthy, got a slight chocolate craving don't do any exercise but by no means do I slob in front of the tv on a daily basis.
Just wondered what everyone's view is thankyou

I have no idea, I would speak to your midwife if you're concerned.

Hey!

I'm the same- was a size 8/10 before (don't weigh myself EVER!) and now a size 12- so probably put on about a stone and a bit. I'm 21 weeks. Really perplexed as to how this has happened as I generally eat healthily too- only vice ben & jerry's frozen yoghurt! I reckon it's because before I was pregnant I was in training for a marathon/ usually ran 5x a week and since being pregnant done none of that as I felt too ill/tired. I'm not worrying about it (apart from occasionally letting out strangled sobs at my untoned legs) so long as I don't burst out of my size 12 maternity jeans!

I don't think that amount (20lbs?) is unusual at 27 weeks. I understand you put on most weight in the second trimester. I am 23 weeks and have put on 12lbs - but I actually lost weight at the beginning because I was so sick. My MW told me to aim for a 21-28lbs gain for the pregnancy - but I was bigger than you to start with.
