What's your pregnancy weight gain so far?

[LillyJean1]

Hi ladies. Wondering what your pregnancy weight gain is so far? This is my 2nd baby but my first was 11 years ago when I was much younger, barely put any weight on and it was all baby (I also don't think I was as concerned back then being young etc and just went with it)... this time round I'm more conscious as I am older and worry it will be harder to loose after the baby is here.

I am not over weight by any means but being small makes me feel bigger and I have that kind of skin which easily marks (stretch marks etc). I am 5ft 2" and at 6 weeks pregnant weighed 8st 9lb (I was already carrying more weight than usual as I'm usually comfortable at 8st 4) ... anyway I am now 14 weeks and I weigh 9st 2lb so in 8 weeks I have gained half a stone (7lbs). I'm fine with putting weight on in pregnancy but I don't want to gain it all too quick and become unhealthy. I ate badly in first tri... lots of bread and crisps and mash potatoes.... anything that didn't make me feel sick. 😷

What is everyone else's gains and experience?

I'm 25wks and have gained 12lbs! But, not too worried lost it all with 6months the last 2 times with not to much effort. Hopefully be the same this time. Try not to worry LJ1 it'll come off once baby is here! 🍀💕

Omg itm, I've gained same as you and I'm only having one!😱😱😱

30 weeks and 4.5 kilos. All baby basically. I am more or less on a gestational diabetes diet. So that helps.

No way am i weighing myself! I would be really worried and low if I knew how much I weigh!

I am 21 weeks and have gained just under a stone so far which is way more than at this stage in my first pregnancy 5 years ago. I’m exercising though and ensuring I walk 10,000 steps a day so doing all I can to make sure I’m healthy during this pregnancy xx

28 weeks. At 24 weeks I'd gained 5kilos. However since then I've lost 6kilos and just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Bub is doing fine and growing well... But I've started shrinking. Have an appointment with the diabetic nurse in maternity on Tuesday. Hopefully I can stop losing weight - though I suspect I'll have very little weight gain during this trimester thanks to diabetic diet and meds. It I possible I'm going to be lighter when I give birth than I was at the begining of pregnancy. :/

This thread has just prompted me to weigh myself....1st 3lbs and I'm 24 weeks. Put on 2.5 stone in last pregnancy and wanted to try for a bit less this time but am still nauseous some days and like a PP, only carbs and bloody salt and vinegar crisps seem to help! Going to do my very best noy to snack quite so much though. I know last time I lost a stone immediately, and a bit more slowly over time but didn't lose it all til I stopped BFing, as if my body was clinging onto all the fat!

22 weeks now and gained 7kg. I was underweight before. Not worried about it at all.

Thank you ladies. We are all different then but mostly gaining in second trimester...

Bumble Nova don't panic your MW will let you know if there is an issue. When I had my first 11 years ago I was the same and he was not a small baby. He was 7lbs 7oz and long. I was eating normally with extra snacks and he is perfect. This time round I'm asking because it's a different pregnancy I'm 11 years older and weight gain is more than before. I'm nearly 15 weeks now and sitting at 6lbs or 7lbs up depending on when I weigh myself. X

I'm 7 weeks at the weekend and I'm 4 & 1/2 lb down so far, nausea and lack of appetite to blame there. I put on lots of weight in my first pregnancy so I've been careful in the ones that followed, I weighed 2kg less then my booking in weight after I gave birth to my last baby, I'm hoping for similar this time.

38 + 3 with my second and gained 23 pounds so far. I gained more with my first oddly and gained 28 then. All came off again after though :)

Literally put no weight on at 20 weeks. I blame a bit of morning sickness which meant I lost a bit which I've gained Back, now I have gestational diabetes, so have a pretty strict diet.

16 weeks and not gained anything yet. To be fair, when I fell pregnant I was a stone over what I weighed when I got pregnant with first DC, but am very happy not to have put any on yet. Even better the scales at hospital when they weighed me before 12 wk scan said exactly the same as mine at home so I’m sure they are accurate. Hoping to get to 20 weeks with no weight gain (which would mean baby growing well and me losing weight overall).
