32 weeks - How much weight have you gained?

30 replies

BouncingBelly · 26/09/2013 08:53

With my 1st pregnancy I gained just over 2.5 stones in total which 'they' say is about average. So far this pregnancy, I've only gained 13lbs which I am of course chuffed about! Friends of mine have gained up to 4.5 stones during their pregnancies.
Just curious to see what other people's weight gain was/is.....

I'm 31 weeks and have gained about 16 lbs which I thought wasn't too bad at all! I also imagined it would be more.
Though people keep on saying to me the next few weeks are all about putting on weight but i think they mean baby!

Its a difficult one as I am comparing it to my last pregnancy! I dropped a stone before I was pregnant this time mainly due to exercise and then sickness once I fell pregnant. I was 8 and a half stone which is the lightest i have ever been as I was always 9 and a half. I'm around 10 and a half now. I am carrying very different this time and its all bump and very low. Im also measuring a couple of weeks ahead. I lost it pretty fast last time so I'm enjoying eating what I like. I'm not allowed to exercise now due to complications so i am not as toned but it will come back after. Not my flat tummy though that has been lost forever...Wink

I'm 35 weeks and have put on just over a stone, which I'm very surprised about as I was certain I would put on loads and carry it everywhere! Thankfully its all just bump and boobs!

Yonididnaedaethat · 26/09/2013 12:27

I'm 33 weeks and have gained a stone, all on bump tho.

Mogz · 26/09/2013 12:54

30+3 weeks here and so far have managed to put back on the weight I lost during the first awful 20weeks of HG, so for all intents and purposes, nothing! I'm sure I'll pile on more than a few over the next little while though as I've been craving cream cheese on toast and apple strudel/crumble/pie, anything sweet I can stick a pot of cinnamon in really. Very naughty!

LittlePeaPod · 26/09/2013 14:07

I am 26 weeks and. Have put 8lbs on.

BummyMummy77 · 26/09/2013 14:15

I'm 34 and I've put on 30 pounds. I'm SO frigging depressed about it. How the hell will I shift it in the dead of winter when it's too cold to even go outside for a walk? :(

BummyMummy77 · 26/09/2013 14:19

Thats two stone. TWO!

clare8allthepies · 26/09/2013 14:20

Hi, 31 weeks here, finally braved the scales and have put about 19 pounds on so far, could be better but not too bad considering the amount I've been scoffing! Grin

Franykins · 26/09/2013 14:34

I'm 30+5 with twins and have put on 31lbs at last weigh in, so prob more like 38lbs now. It is ALL bump and boobs though, from the back and front I haven't changed shape, turn me to the side and I'm huge! I love my bump though Smile

I'm 32 weeks with twins and have put on 2.5 stone !

Franykins · 26/09/2013 15:23

you've done better than me then theboob Smile

BummyMummy77 · 26/09/2013 15:23

So I've put on the same as people with twins? FML.

Franykins · 26/09/2013 15:38

Don't worry BummyMummy77 I have a friend who has three DC. With every pregnancy she started a size 8 and put on 5 stone, that's 70lbs!!! Two of them only weighed in the 6lb range as well. Every time she has got back down to almost her pre pg weight and is now a size 8/10.

plentyofsoap · 26/09/2013 15:39

Bummy don't worry. Alot of mine last time was fluid and over three months after it came off slowly. I had a winter baby last time and this time too. Everyone is different so don't compare.

BummyMummy77 · 26/09/2013 15:42

Thanks Franykins, I've never been anywhere near this big and it's making me miserable.

I'm going to go all Posh Spice and be in the gym 24/7 afterwards. Possibly.

Franykins · 26/09/2013 15:46

My mum put on 3.5 stone with me and it was mostly fluid. She doesn't think its fair I've put on this amount with twins. I still have 7 weeks to go though and have a ridiculous obsession with chocolate and cake at the moment so who knows how I'll end up Hmm To be fair I was a 14/16 when I fell so had reserves! And I'm probably weighing in more than I should for my pre pg weight, but to be honest I don't care. Bubbas are doing well and seen as it is all bump and boob and my midwife isn't worried neither am I Smile Like plentyofsoap says everyone is different so don't try to compare Smile

Rtfairy · 30/09/2013 22:00

I'm 32 weeks and I've gained 1 stone 13 lbs. So almost 2 stone. Not at all worried about it though Smile

Abs85 · 30/09/2013 22:23

I'm 34+3 with twins and have put on 4 stone, I am all bump though, I trained a lot pre pregnancy and measured myself in inches instead of the scales, so I guess I had a better idea of where my weight is.
I don't think it matters how much you do or don't put on as long as you have a healthy diet and your baby/babies are growing Smile

YBR · 01/10/2013 10:58

You're not going to like this!
32wks wi DC2 and currently just 3lb above my pre-preg average (which was on the way down at the time). Part of that is due to a recent vomiting bug when I think I lost 1/2 stone.
I am going to ask my MW at the next appointment but I don't think it's a cause for worry on its own (DC2 still active for example). I get so few MW appts this time round that I've no idea if my bump is under-sized.

terilou87 · 01/10/2013 11:19

I'm 25+4 and have put on 11 lbs so far, hopefully I won't put too much more on, with my last dc I only put 17 lb on all pregnancy n lost just over a stone when he was born. With dc1 and 2 I put on 3 stone AMD 2 stone with dc3. Currently pg with dc5

McBaby · 01/10/2013 14:29

I put on 4.5 stone in my last pregnancy. I lost 2 stone the day I have birth, 1.5 stone over next 3 weeks and a further 2 stone by the time she was 4 months. I did not go to the gym and ate lots of cake and breastfed. So1 stone lighter than pre Preg.

Everyone is different and you can't really compare as so much of it can be baby, fluid, blood, placenta, boobs etc. don't worry about the weight there is nothing you can do about it except make sure you east healthily for next couple of months.

EmB1715 · 01/10/2013 14:49

I'm almost 31 weeks and think I've gained about 2.5 stone. I don't understand how other people have only gained a matter of lbs!!

Mamabear12 · 01/10/2013 16:23

I put 20 kgs now, which is quite a lot :( however, first time around I put 23kgs and lost 13kg the first week and lost all the weight a few months after w out trying...so I'm not too bothered. Plus people say I look tiny and r surprised I'm due in 3 weeks! I always say well, I've put 20 kgs after they say i look small and they r shocked. At first I thought it was just friends being nice - but people I hardly know have also commented after fining out my due date! Strange bc I feel big! Ah well. I am looking forward to being able to bend over and lift things etc with out feeling uncomfortable from bump.
