Weight gain at 24 weeks

[MadamCatty]

Hi all
How much have you ladies gained by 24 weeks or did you gain? I am in a bit of a state. I have gained 22 pounds already and was always petite and slim before. I am worried because the nhs recommends 28 to 35 pounds for the whole pregnancy. Is this possible?!

I'm at 20 weeks and have gained 17 pounds now I keep hoping it'll slow down. I'm sure I didn't gain this quick for my first baby

I don't remember the exact amounts but I gained most in the 2nd trimester then not much in the 3rd

Its my first baby so I guess I dont know what to expect. Is it easy to lose once baby arrives?

I'd put on a whole stone by 10 weeks and then my weight gain slowed down (put on 3 stone in total). I had a completely healthy pregnancy and by 6 months post partum was back to the healthy 9 stone that I was before I got pregnant.

Everyone's an individual and our bodies all work in different ways. Please don't worry, it's completely healthy and normal to put on weight during pregnancy!

Thank you!

Hi OP, I am 27 weeks today and put on 21 lbs so far! I wouldn’t worry about it, everyone is different.

I'm 24w and have gained 5kg (11lb), also my first baby, was size 6-8 before pregnancy.

Most of it seems to gone to my face though (which people love to comment on and) it makes me feel bigger than I am!

Check the weight gain chart according to your pre-pregnancy BMI - you might find that you're still within the limit. My obstetrician recommended gaining up to 15kg (33lb) in my case so you never know!

Yes I don't know why people think it is ok ti freely discuss pregnant ladies weight or what they are eating. It is so rude!
I can only wish I had gained 11 pounds. I am not even over eating so no idea what is going on!

Am 22+3 with twins and have gained 13lbs so far. According to the chart I saw regarding twin pregnancies I should gain 37-54lbs in total so think I’m doing pretty well!!
