f you are around 19 / 20 weeks can i be nosey and ask how much weight you have gained so far?

[SeeYouNT]

i am 19 + 3 with DC3 and have put on 5 lbs - BUT 3 of them have gone on in the last WEEK

i was feeling quite smug til i weighed myself today :/

and am worried if it continues like this i will be huge by the end, as am only 5 foot 2 and normally (when not pg) about 8 stone 2.

By the time I got to 20 weeks I had put on 6lbs

about the same as me then :) thank you

i have heard after 20 weeks on average you gain a pound a week, i could cope with that as would mean i would only have gained about 25lbs by the end

i was lucky with my last dc as only gained about 15lbs by the end- really doubt i will be that jammy again grrrr @ my old self.

I've put on about 8 lbs (well, up until the scales and I decided to take a break from each other last week at 19 weeks).
The internet tells me this is fine and about exactly where it should be given my height and pre-pregnancy weight (7 st 12 and 5 foot nothing). I'm eating healthily and exercising but the whole "this is not fat this is baby and his luggage" is still a little hard to take.
So basically I'm now a tad heavier than you are, having started out lighter, so you have to be absolutely fine for my sake. So you are absolutely fine!

Oh the shame. I've put on 10 kilos (22 pounds) but I was barely scraping 7 stone (bmi 16.5) when I got pregnant. The only thing that helped with the 24 hr nausea was eating and tbh the hospital now say I'm a healthy weight. But if I carry on like this I think I'll end up spherical.

19 weeks tomorrow and have put on 10lbs making me weigh bang on 9stone at the moment. My BMI pre pregnancy was underweight so consultant is pleased.

I'm eating healthily and exercising but the whole "this is not fat this is baby and his luggage" is still a little hard to take.

oh god yeah defo, i really hate gaining weight in pregnancy, i know its necessary but i find it hard watching the scales go up :(

so does anyone know it its true that past 20 weeks we gain a pound a week? its a scary thought but at least if i am expecting it, i am prepared iyswim

So they say. I imagine once I get a no-doubt-about-it-this-woman-is-upduffed bump it'll seem more natural. It's just at the moment I feel more like I'm sporting a fairly decent food baby. Years of societal pressure working against us. Also I must stop sporadically looking at photos of Kate Middleton's erstwhile bump. Not helping.

I have gained 4.5kg as of 21 weeks. Most of that was eating through my morning sickness in the first trimester.... Very worried about the weight gain and what I will look like at the end .

10lb I think- can't remember my 'starting' weight!

Am 20 weeks

Wouldn't even occur to me to weigh myself, and I certainly don't trouble to ask the midwife - why meet trouble half way I say! Until I can't fit in the front door, or fall through a drain cover, I reckon I'll be just where my body and cake habit put me!

I won't be Kate Moss at the end, but neither will I be Jabba the Hut, and it'll all come off in the end, at least, it usually does. Chin up, love. Bet you're doing just right x

Not much... I am about a pound heavier than when I started, but lost nearly half a stone at the start with sickness, so have gained a few pounds since then. Seems very uneven though. GP didn't seem worried about no weight gain at 16 weeks so I guess it's ok. I was middle of healthy BMI when I started, and am tall so half a stone either way doesn't feel that different, so I'm hoping a few pounds above or below norm is not going to be a big issue. I definitely LOOK pregnant, so not sure what is happening, must all be shifting about!!

Oh, and am a day off 19 weeks!

And have been sick and weedy, so probably losing muscle mass (to the extent I had any to start with)...

20lb.
Mainlined carbs through the 12 weeks of nausea.

Terrible mistake & feeling like a huge cow. But well done on all your little gains.

goes off to sob

I'm 5"7ish and 16 weeks today, so far I've gone from 9stone1-9stone3. Which I'm content with but with my other I oonly carried until 23 week's I went from 9 and a half to 10 and a half stone :-O. Was shocked!

The problem is, we don't seem to have much control, and either way you worry ... I keep thinking I haven't put on enough. On the other hand my back is crap, so in a way it's good not to have too much more me to carry around. Anyway, still plenty of time to achieve whale status.

I am hoping as I get further through and nausea goes it will be more easy to eat healthily and not just grab something in a panic to avoid throwing up (or eat something nice and healthy and then throw it up anyway sigh)

I am going to make a new policy to refuse to worry unless the MW tells me to.

I don't know as not weighed myself. 21 weeks today. I don't have a bump yet and my clothes still fit but i think each of my boobs have put on half a stone each...

Lol dimdommilpot i know what you mean, i reckon my boobs have doubled

i also have a massive bump as well so am at your lack of bump

2 and a half stone.

But I had horrific morning sickness and even with medication, I only got through it on salt and vinegar crisps, chocolate and potatoes in any form...I low carbed before pregnancy, so all the carbs made me balloon - I put the first stone on in a week.

Then I felt better, sickness went and I've eaten for England for 4 weeks. Have put a halt on the crap now though and have cut out man made carbs and potatoes.

My boobs are enormous though, I honestly reckon over half a stone has gone on them.

Nothing, am 21 weeks with twins but have lost weight due constantly throwing up

oh god poor you soontobe the sickness is awful isn't it, i hope it goes for you soon

well i have gained ANOTHER TWO POUNDS this week. well, since last friday (have been weighing myself on my friends super posh digital scales) and i am getting worried now, this is silly, am only 20 weeks today. if this continues i am just going to be ridiculously huge. am only 5 foot 2 so i look awful.

I started at 8st4lbs and now at 19+4 I think I've put on about 11lbs but dp has hidden the scales now as I got obsessive. He is only letting me have them every 3 weeks! I put on 3st with dd1 so super paranoid about putting on that much again even though I lost all of it and an extra 10lbs within 12weeks.

LOL at your dp hiding the scales tea1

i think mine will do that soon as he must be getting sick of me stressing, i cried for about half hour yesterday about it

somehow i am a pound lighter today??
