What's roughly the amount of weight I should of put on by now? I'm hardly showing still fitting in my size 10/12 clothes but managed to smuggle a stone on somewhere!! (Arse defo grown) I'm not fussed just curious.

Depends on the individual but there's a free app you can download if you are keen to track it.

I think most people put most of the weight on in the third tri.

I put on weight steadily throughout both my pregnancies. I gained about 2.75-3stone with both (didn't realise it was that much as I was weighing myself in kg & just converted it - Shock). I think I put it on quickly in the 1st trimester because I was eating to stave off nausea, then the hormones kick in & I can't resist the siren call of the biscuit tin...

If its any consolation though, of the roughly 17.5kg I put on this time, I've lost just over 9kg, and DS is only 12do. I lost over 6kg giving birth and he only weighed 3.16kg, so a lot was water/placenta. I have definitely built up breastfeeding reserves on my bum & thighs though.:(

I'm 16+2 and have put on 6lbs. Sad

I'm a bit worried though I admit. I was very heavy up until about 2 years ago and I'm really concerned I'm going to gain all the weight back... will just have to see.
