How Much Weight Did You/Have You Put On?

[DimpleHands]

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?!

28 weeks and gained 5kg (11lbs) :-( but I'm sure quite a bit of it is water as well as the baby!

Put on over 3 stone with my first, not good as I was big anyway but lost it within about 3 months of giving birth (hooray for breastfeeding and it's weight loss benefits!)

I'm only just pregnant this time (6 weeks) and lost weight so far due to being nauseous and eating better in general. I'm 2 stone lighter now than when I fell pregnant first time so healthier in general this time and determined to keep it that way!

Don't worry, once you have baby you're so busy and burning so much energy, weeing for england that the weight falls off pretty quickly

Dd1 - 47lbs
Dd2 - 23lbs

I'm 39 weeks today in my second pregnancy.

15kgs gained - about 2st 5lbs. Last pregnancy I started off considerably heavier and gained 13kgs(2st).

I have no swelling and people do compliment me on not gaining weight because my face, arms and legs look fine, my face actually looks like it does when I'm thinner. But I had a huge amount of stretch marks with DS and even though I weigh less overall now than I did just before his birth, the bump is bigger and now I have a new itchy crop of marks coming in up to the bottom of my ribs. I reckon she will be heavier and longer than DS was.

Thanks for this thread, I hadn't ever thought to compare them before. But now I am feeling a bit more apprehensive about the birth!

I gained 10lbs when pregnant With DD

Weepoppy don't worry! I'm 16 weeks and 8lbs down on my starting weight. This is dc3 and I haven't gained any weight at all with either of the previous dcs before about 20 weeks and both babies have been born healthy at term 8/9lbs! Weight gain patterns are different for different women/pregnancies and not everyone gains in a linear fashion thought their pregnancy. As long as you are managing to eat something and are otherwise well, baby will be absolutely fine.

14kg at 35.5 weeks. Am blaming the spd and crutches. Haven't been able to walk properly since January.

I put on 4.5 stone with each pregnancy. All came off again afterwards :)

I was 16/17lbs at term with DD but I was really ill at the thought off and smell of a lot of food. Couldn't stand eating anything except for mangos, melon, plain fish and certain boiled vegetables.

I'm 31wks with my first and have gained 18 - 20lbs. I'm not too worried though. Have eaten pretty much what I want, and much more carbs than usual. Only just started to notice a bit of swelling (feet) in the last few days.

Just under 2 stone with my first but at 18 weeks I'm 10 lb up already! It's the nausea solving bacon butties to blame!

I'm 15 weeks and have put on around 9lb so far, although by the end of the day I would imagine I weigh about a stone heavier due to extreme bloating, esp if I've been sat down at work all day. I had to eat a lot of salty carby crap in the first trimester to stave off nausea but now my appetite has stabilized a bit and I am eating smaller snacky meals, little & often (too much and my digestion goes mad) so I'm hoping the weight gain will just be baby and not too much extra fat....who am I kidding I'm gonna be huge by the end of this!

3 stone so far and I'm 35 weeks. 2.5 stone in total for my last pregnancy and it took me 2 years to lose the baby weight.
Am already feeling pretty rubbish about having to lose all of this weight and I still have 5 weeks to go! Can't stop eating carbs at the moment and I'm feeling tired all of the time too. Expect to see me on the weight loss threads soon!

3st with my first, 2st with my second at 36w - I think less this time because I'm more active with my toddler

17weeks today and 10lb so far

I'm 16 weeks and I've not gained anything despite having a definite bump. I was size 8 before. Probably more like size 10 now because of bump.

17wks and I've put on exactly 8lbs so far.. Lol

Can't remember for my first, but currently 23 weeks with my second, 4lb under my booking in weight but had a vomiting bug at 8 weeks and felt sick for many weeks. Was classed as obese at booking in for bmi (which I think is a bit rubbish - size 14 with big boobs and don't doubt I was a bit of the chubby size but would not say I was huge!) actually gained more weight after having my pfb despite breastfeeding for 18 months as the little darling did not sleep and I was permantly starving (hoping not to have a repeat of that this time!)

With my first I put on 7lb by 20 weeks and another 1.5 stone after that, so exactly 2st in total.

Now six weeks pg with my second and have already put on almost 7lb....!

This is an interesting read. I'm 19+4 with twins, writhed myself today and only put in 6lb! Surely that's not enough!

Weighed

First child I gained about 3st, second child I lost 2st due to going off food and having to force myself to eat, third child I'm 26 weeks and have lost 1lb, not sure how because I haven't gone off food this time and am eating a lot. I was big to start off this time with though not so much with the other two.

Rocker - I was the same first time round. Even at 24 weeks I'd still only put on 7lb, but put on two full stone by the end.

First pregnancy, 20 weeks (today) 5lbs so far...

First baby - put on 2.5 stone and was carrying 1.5 of that for a year after birth. Dropped off when I stopped breastfeeding. I really don't think my diet/activity levels changed.

Second baby - lost 10lbs in first 12 weeks. Really had to force myself to eat. Put on 2 stone by end. Gave birth to 9lb 12oz baby and was wearing my size 10 jeans within a few days.
