Not gaining weight: 27wks

[Skeppers]

Evening all!

I'm just coming up to 27 weeks. I haven't weighed myself at all in pregnancy until very recently and I've only gained 4lbs. I had a high BMI at booking in (36) so think that this is probably OK, but I've also noticed in the last week my boobs have shrunk. I've always been pretty well 'endowed' in that dept, but they're just starting to look a bit 'empty' and saggy, iyswim. I've not needed to buy bigger bras, etc.

I was also talking to a work colleague on Friday who said that my bump didn't look 'big enough' for me to be due in August!

I had a GP appt just over a week ago and she said that size-wise baby, uterus, etc. was all as it should be, heartbeat was fine and baby is very active- lots of movement and strong kicks. So I'm not super worried, but was wondering if the same sort of thing had happened to anyone else?

I'm 30 weeks and now weigh the same as my booking appointment. I lost over a stone with morning sickness and that stone is the only weight I've gained.

I actually finished my pg with DS almost 7lbs lighter when I started. Like you I had a raised BMI (33) on falling pregnant. I then had a lot of trouble with food aversions / HG. I always measured bang on for dates and DS was born at 7 lb 4oz at 40+6. Try not to worry, I was just grateful no baby weight to loose!

I'm also always being told by people that my bump looks small but it was exactly 28 cm at my last appointment. I think it is very outfit dependent.

my baby is 3 weeks old now. but i lost a stone whilst pregnant all was fine :)

I've had no sickness or food aversions (quite the opposite!) Thanks for the reassurance though; I'll just count myself lucky!
