I am 28 weeks today and so far have put on 1st 1lb - any other ladies put on about the same?

Unless you've been told to only put on a certain amount (which they do for higher BMIs) that doesn't seem bad.
Are you concerned?

I think if you're healthy BMI to start with then 'normal' is 1-5lbs in the first trimester and I think 1lb a week after that totalling somewhere in the region of 2-2.5 stone. That makes you approximately perfect so far!

I've put on 1st and I'm 23weeks. I feel comfortable with that though.

I think your weight gain sounds normal.

I've put on 1 1/2 stone so far at 32 weeks. I hate it but just one of those things I think.

I put on about 3st whilst pregnant. Lost about 2st as soon as I had him. The rest is just keeping me warm Wink

I put on 1 stone in the first 10 weeks....! Eating constantly was the only thing that helped the nausea. Now 15 weeks and put on another 2 lbs since so I'm hoping I level out now and don't put on too much in this 2nd trimester :(.

UnoriginalNN · 11/12/2016 12:16

I've gained 6lbs I think. The joys of hyperemesis and GD Hmm Grin my bmi was 27 anyway before I was pregnant so I was hoping not to gain too much

UnoriginalNN · 11/12/2016 12:16

(Oops I'm 29 weeks!)

unicornsfartrainbows · 11/12/2016 12:17

I put on 3 stone all in, lost 1.5 of it really quickly.

Whatsername17 · 11/12/2016 12:21

I was the same. I'm 34+2 now and I've gained 1.5st. I did the same with my dd and gain the 2st by the end. I was back in my jeans and lighter than before at 6 weeks post partum. Hoping for the same!

29 weeks and I've put on 1st 3lb.. I'm not liking it as I've never weighed this much but I'm trying not to worry and just eat healthily ish. I think it's within normal range? DH says I don't look any different (apart from the bump) but I think I've put on weight on my thighs. I think your weight gain is fine OP.

I've put on 1st and I'm only 19 weeks! That's definitely a bit more than recommended, but exactly the same as last pregnancy, where weight gain really eased off by the end. I put on 2st total, most by 30 weeks, and was back to my original weight a week after giving birth. So I'd say you have nothing to worry about.

MrsKBill · 11/12/2016 18:09

I have an higher BMI and off for my diabetes test tomorrow morning. I didn't think it was that bad and I haven't put weight on all over...I am carrying all front xx
