Pregnancy weight gain

Just wondering how much weight people gained in pregnancy? I'm 27 weeks and have gained (to my horror) 9kg... Is that excessive for this stage in pregnancy?!?!

I’m at 10kg gain week 25. Trying not to think about it Grin I think it depends a little if it’s your first or second pregnancy, I’m about a month ahead second time round.
As long as you don’t see it as a calorie free-for-all I don’t think there’s much point worrying- we’re all different!

I’m 26 weeks and have gained 8kg. It’s natural isn’t it - it’s not just the baby but all the fluid, extra tissue, extra blood etc... right?!?

My boobs alone probably make up about half my weight gain!

I am 33 weeks and have gained 9kg, but my appetite (and also weight gain) definitely peaked in the second trimester! This is despite the fact that my bump is growing fast at the moment.

Hello!

Jut wondering how much weight people are gaining? I'm 26 weeks and haven't gain anything!! It just seems to have all moved to my tummy. I’ve read I should have gain around a stone by this point?

Help and advice please...... Smile

I gained SO MUCH weight in my pregnancies - too much. Over 30kg both times. Took me a year to lose it all.

I put on around a stone and a bit but I had hyperemesis so lost a stone which would have meant I put on 2 and a bit stone if that makes sense! What I did put on I lost within 2 weeks as I was then poorly post birth

I had gained 18kg by the end - most of it in the last trimester - but amazingly was back to my pre-preg weight within a couple of months after. Tummy doesn't quite look the same tho!

isthismummy · 09/05/2018 21:24

I've gained 4kg so far. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow with twins. I feel huge even though I know it's not that big a weight gain!

MrsSPx · 09/05/2018 21:29

I am 29 weeks and have gained 7kg. I think it all depends on the person as my sister was sick most way through her pregnancy and weighed less at the end than she did the beginning whereas I have had zero sickness and have gained some x

I’ve gained just under 6kg at 33 weeks.
I’m quite tall and my bump is relatively small looking (although measuring on target) but I had a bit of a belly to start off with!! I have been trying to eat healthily though.

brogueish · 09/05/2018 21:52

Around 15kg and week 36... Blush

Waitingonasmiley42 · 09/05/2018 22:15

I put on almost 4 stones. Blush. 4 months later I still have 1 stone left to lose. Sad

Flicksthename · 09/05/2018 22:19

11kg at 20 weeks
It came off quickly last time but I’m not enjoying watching my backside grow as quickly as my stomach!!

Aw12345 · 09/05/2018 22:24

Thanks so much for replies, looks like it's very variable for each individual and does come off afterwards (phew!). I'm going to start telling myself it's all fluid Grin

I charted my weight so I have the info

56kg starting weight
59kg at 12 weeks
66kg at 20 weeks
80kg at 36 weeks (I really accelerated after 20 weeks mostly as I stopped cycling to work at 26 weeks - it was winter and it was just too dangerous)
72kg 4 weeks after birth
70kg 6 weeks after birth

Took me about 8 months to shed the rest and get back to ~57kg. I trained a lot to get there (home workouts) and I'm quite happy at the moment as I am in a better shape (apart from bits of loose skin) than I was before pregnancy.

lozdaniellexxx · 10/05/2018 11:42

by week 28 I had gained 4KG. I was a size 14 before pregnancy but by week 24 hadn't put on any weight. Im now 31 + 3 and got a midwife appointment today :) xx

polkadotpixie · 10/05/2018 13:59

I've put on 13lbs/6kg so far and I'm only 21 weeks 😩 I'm not even eating that much, I hate it

Oliviam · 10/05/2018 16:49

Thanks everyone for your replies. It has definitely out my mind at rest! Pre baby I was running three times a week so I have quite a fast metabolism and have never really put on too much weight. I have a 28 week check up in two weeks so hopefully I'll get measured during make sure everything is as it should be!!

I guess it's normal to worry... Especially if it's your first! Smile
