I'm 35wks and was quite big before getting pg anyway but I weighed myself randomly last night and I've not even put in a stone ! That can't be right ? I feel so heavy ! Just wondering what the average/usual weight gain is ?

I think the guideline is about 25 to 35 pounds depending on how big you were before hand.

Everybody is different though - I've known people who have actually lost weight due to morning sickness.

I think I put on about 3 and a half stone with both of my girls Shock. I can't remember exactly but it was at least 3 stone! I think I got too scared to look by the end of my pregnancy with DD2 so I didn't weigh myself right at the end :o.

I've actually just checked what my booking weight was and I've not put any weight on at all !!! Does that mean I've been losing fat as baby is growing ? That can't be right ? I think I'm going to get mw to weigh me next appointment this can't be right I think my scales are wrong !!Confused

I only put about a stone on. So I think I lost some of my own weight while pregnant.

I know Robin I didnt weigh myself with DD but DH had the scales out last night (he is on a new baby health kickGrin) and I just randomly jumped on . I don't normally even weigh myself that's how I didn't even realise I hadn't put any weight on must have been heavier before than I thought Blush

Love the name btw Grin let's go to the mall .... Today !!! Grin

:o ALittleBitOfMagic

When my mum was pregnant with me (30 years ago) she was told not to put any weight on Confused. I have no idea why, but she didn't.

As long as the baby is moving well and has been ok at MW appointments I wouldn't worry at all. :)
