37 weeks only gained 8lbs

[Sweetpea86]

Hi ladies, I'm 37+2 had a mid wife app and I've only gained 8lbs I'm happy as I'm overweight to begin with and no swelling as of yet.

Just wondered could I have posssilby lost weight?

I'm not sure what pregnancy it's self will weigh now.

I only gained 4lb my whole pregnancy. Baby was healthy Size I just put it down to choosing to eat better whilst pregnant. I had no morning sickness.

It's possible, yes, depends on what your diet and exercise has been like while you're pregnant.

I had a pregnancy where, once baby had been delivered, I weighed less than I'd weighed at the booking in appointment.

Although I was obese, and had changed eating habits during pregnancy so that I was eating a lot less junk and a lot more healthily (more veg, more fruit etc etc) than I had been before.

Yeah I eat decent any ways last time I was pregnant I gained 35lbs (pre clampsia) and it was all gone by 3 weeks after giving birth.

I suffered with awful PND and gained 3 stones during my mat leave .

I got 2 stone off and have made effort not to gain.
would be nice to be a little lighter after giving birth
