Hiya guys, i know this is one of those annoying topics that comes up ALL the time but i was wondering how much weight people have put on by around 23 weeks? I am only 5ft 1in and was 49.9kg when i was first weighed at 7 weeks. I was weighed today and am only 52.6kg at almost 23 weeks!! My bump us tiny and im still in my normal 6-8 clothes! I had my first child extremely prematurely (23+0 weeks) and im worried my slow weight gain will hinder this pregnancy! (There was no reason found last time so im making assuptions)... so a gain of 5-6lbs i think, is that normal?

Totally fine. I’ve gained 5 lbs and I’m 27 weeks pregnant. Nothing to worry about.

I've only gained 6lbs and I'm 37weeks pregnant!! Baby already measuring 7lbs 4 as of yesterday! No idea how as I've had no sickness and am eating plenty.
I was a size 16-18 to start with though so didn't want to gain too much!
