How Much Weight Did You/Have You Put On?

68 replies

If you have already have a baby, how much weight did you put on in the pregnancy.

If this is your first, how far along are you and how much have you put on so far?

I have put on 9lbs at 16 weeks which seems rather a lot?!

32+5 - 3st so far (probably more Blush )

Superexcited · 29/05/2015 14:03

First pregnancy I gained 2 and a half stone (lost all but half stone within 10 days of giving birth).
Second pregnancy I gained 2 and a half stone (lost all but half a stone within 10 days of giving birth).
I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and lost 8lb in the first trimester and gave regained 7lb of it so far.

13kg so far (37 weeks) but I was only 53 to start with so seems like a big percentage of my original body weight! I wasn't super skinny, I'm just very short

bunny85 · 29/05/2015 14:14

I'm 14+3 with my first, and have put on 2kg so far. But feels waaay more than that (bloat!). I also was 53kg to start with.

lightgreenglass · 29/05/2015 14:16

So far 11kg - 33 weeks. I never weighed myself with my last pregnancy but I lost it all very quickly after the birth and then some with breastfeeding.

lauraa4 · 29/05/2015 14:16

I'm 23 weeks and have put on 10lbs so far.

Skeppers · 29/05/2015 14:20

30 weeks and I've gained about half a stone. No smugness here; I was fat to start with! Hoping for a net loss once baby is born (and he's measuring big!) Grin

Gingernut81 · 29/05/2015 14:25

I'd put on just over a stone by 20 weeks. I'm now 24 weeks & too scared to go near the scales again ?? Feel like a right fat heifer and doesn't help that I'm constantly hungry!

Hellohellohowareyou · 29/05/2015 14:28

About 3 lb and I'm 35 weeks but I've had bag hyperemesis. Every time someone says Oooh that's really good I think Yeh but id rather of gained a couple of stone than have to deal with being so ill for so long!

Foggymist · 29/05/2015 14:41

I put on 3 stone but about 2 was fluid. I was 6lbs from my original weight 10 days after having him.

Number3cometome · 29/05/2015 14:43

Well i've defo put some fat on, no doubt about that.

Am I worried? No.

I was a very fit size 10 before (regular gym gooer and weights fanatic)
Not going to the gym and eating what I want has taken it's toll.

But I did put on more with my previous pregnancies and successfully and sensibly lost the weight after Grin

mellymoo22 · 29/05/2015 14:46

first pregnancy for me, I'm 27 weeks and gained one stone

Hophop987 · 29/05/2015 14:58

First pregnancy put on 18kg. Currently 31 weeks with my second and so far gained 4kg. Hoping not to go over 10kg this time.

mrsdos · 29/05/2015 15:24

First pregnancy for me and have gained 8lbs at 27 weeks.. I am ok with this as only found one stretch mark so far and it all seems to be baby bump!

rebbles · 29/05/2015 15:25

17 weeks and have not put any on as lost for first trimester due to morning sickness. Started putting weight back on in past few weeks and now back to original weight.

lilmisslibrarian · 29/05/2015 15:29

About 3 stone, I'm 37+5 but I am massively swollen! I have been eating a lot more food than normal-carbs have been my best friend through all the nausea so I expected to gain some weight but my midwife tells me that it's clearly a whole heap of fluid!
Doesn't make me feel any better when I'm stomping about like a hippo with no ankles and sausages for fingers!

I'm crying here! I am your identical twin right now!

AndThisIsTrue · 29/05/2015 15:33

I put on 3st with my DS, sadly I still have 2stone of it two years later!

Wishful80smontage · 29/05/2015 15:35

Dd1 I actually lost weight first trimester and by the end only gained a stone - but I was a lot bigger to start with size 16-18.
This time I started off size 12 and I've gained 8 pounds in first 11 weeks! This time feels so different though I couldn't eat last time-everything made me feel sick gave me acid reflux- this time I'm constantly eating or I feel faint.
I lost 4 stone after dd1 in a year though so I'm hoping I can lose all this weight I've gained after I have dc2

shattered77 · 29/05/2015 15:43

Just the 4 stone, 4lbs Shock.

coneywonder · 29/05/2015 17:03

16lb so far and I am 34 weeks x

lilmisslibrarian · 29/05/2015 17:30

number 3 I'm glad I'm not alone! Honestly I feel like the trex in the Jurassic Park scene when the water in the glass starts wobbling and the girl looks on in fear-then I round the corner clutching a jam sandwich!

WeePoppy · 29/05/2015 17:32

I am actually a bit concerned that I am not putting any weight on... I am 16+5, lost a few kg during the first trimester due to feeling nauseous but I am now feeling a lot better and I have stopped loosing weight. However, I am not putting any weight on either... I have started showing, but I am still the weight I was a month ago...

OMC1 · 29/05/2015 18:34

29 weeks, about a 1stone 3lbs so far, expecting it to rapidly increase now, though!

ceebelle83 · 29/05/2015 19:03

28 weeks and I've put on 18lbs so far. Was 10st 12lbs to begin with though Blush
