Weight gain

What's everyone's current weight gain?

I started off about a stone heavier than normal so conscious not to gain more than advised/recommendations etc- just curious as to how much people have gained so far.

I'm 23 weeks and have gained about 8kg, most of that was at the beginning when living on beige food .. but no gain in last couple weeks since back on normal healthy diet

Xx

I'm 9lb in 8 weeks.
Mortified as I was at a rubbish weight to start with. But I have struggled with my weight for around a year or so now so I half expected this.

I'm a stone and a half at 28 weeks.

SoyDora · 19/10/2018 07:14

A stone at 30 weeks. I lost some at the beginning due to extreme food aversions but have been making up for it since Blush. Trying to reign in the snacking for the last 10 weeks!

Stone + 5lb at 34 weeks. I was big to start off with!!

PurpleFlower1983 · 19/10/2018 07:17

I’ve gained 12lbs, I’m 21 weeks today.

stepmummamumma · 19/10/2018 07:18

I think I'm about a stone and a half up. I was a healthy weight to begin with but have struggled to eat healthily through this pregnancy due to food cravings/aversions! I'm 25 weeks today 🙈

FrazzyAndFrumpled · 19/10/2018 07:21

I’ve lost about 9lb in the last 3 weeks due to illness Sad currently 11+6 so I really need to start gaining, but I'm still struggling to eat proper food (give me beige stuff and I’m fine!)

FrazzyAndFrumpled · 19/10/2018 07:28

Wait no, that’s massively wrong!! Sorry! 🙈 it’s about 6lb according to my converter app (rather than useless brain)

wimbler · 19/10/2018 10:49

I'm 30 weeks and gained about 14 lbs but it is all in my bump and boobs so far (at least that's what my husband keeps telling me, bless him)

elpreggo27 · 19/10/2018 11:13

I'm too scared to weigh myself...will be 19 weeks on Wednesday

TinyMarie · 19/10/2018 11:45

I'm 24 weeks and have gained 10lbs. Im pretty sure a lot of that is boob!

WhirlingTurkey · 19/10/2018 11:48

I'm huge! I started this pregnancy about a stone heavier than my first pregnancy. I can't stop eating, it's ridiculous. I'm still feeling/being sick and eating is all that helps. Not being particularly healthy either. I haven't weighed myself for ages. I'm a bit scared. I'm 26 weeks.

Mumtobe193 · 19/10/2018 11:58

I'm 12 weeks now, put on about 4lb. Although I feel like I've put on much more, can barely do up my jeans due to bloating. I put on about a stone and a half by the end of my last pregnancy, gained most of it after about 25 weeks. Lost half a stone after the birth, another half stone a month later which I think was down to breastfeeding, then just shifted the extra half stone gradually over the 6 months after that. Hoping to go at a similar rate with this pregnancy.

WhirlingTurkey · 19/10/2018 12:16

Bloody hell. Just confirmed that I am huge.

Weight at booking in appointment was 68kg. Today I weigh 81.2kg!!

Celebelly · 19/10/2018 12:36

I'm 24 weeks and have put on 7lbs so far, but I was carrying a few extra to start with (probably about a stone and a half/two stone). All my gain has been second trimester - I didn't gain anything in the first (because I felt so crap the entire time!)

DannyWallace · 19/10/2018 13:58

I'm 20 weeks.
I started my pregnancy slightly higher in weight than I like (still healthy BMI but only just).
I've gained 10lbs so far.
I've never felt hunger like this in my life!!! Haha

artio0 · 19/10/2018 15:24

I started off with a low BMI at the dating scan but now at 38 weeks I'm three stones heavier... Goes away and cries before resuming denial.

kmreeve · 19/10/2018 15:29

Well I best convert as most are in lbs .. so I'm up 17lbs .. but like I said no gain in last couple of weeks so hopefully I can reign it in a bit now. I was sick up until 16 weeks and cheese and crisp sandwiches were life haha!!

You guys have done so well! I got to about 18 weeks and I had put on over a stone!😳 Mind you I am having twins but I had to stop weighing myself in the end because it was messing with my head!!

physicskate · 20/10/2018 07:50

20 weeks. I've gained about 9 lbs... I think I need to up my gain, even though I'm eating when I'm hungry and not always the best at being healthy!!

TheWanderlust · 20/10/2018 08:03

7lb in 20 weeks.... all of that was in the first 14-16 weeks as I lived off toast and chips. Since trying to eat a more varied diet again I don't seem to have gained anything this month.

Emma765 · 20/10/2018 08:08

3lbs and I'm 35 weeks. I didn't lose any at the start just stayed the same pretty much until 30 weeksish and put on a bit since then. My BMI was 31 to begin with though.

SoyDora · 20/10/2018 08:10

All my weight gain has been in the last 10 weeks as I barely ate a thing for the first 20 weeks. Slightly concerned that the next 10 weeks (currently 30 weeks) will be the same! Need to up my exercise and drop the kinder buenos I think!

Cariadxx · 20/10/2018 12:23

I've gained 17lbs. I'm 26 weeks. Feel fat and horrible😥

topsyturvy123 · 20/10/2018 13:13

15 pounds gain at 23 weeks.mainly due to bad eating to be honest and I was overweight to begin with so really should only be gaining about two stone altogether so I need to wise up!
