Pregnancy weight gain

[bobble53]

I have 8 weeks to go and already gained 2 stone. I feel huge 😫 how quickly did it take for you to lose it after the baby and can I expect to put much more on now in the final weeks?

Try not to worry too much; whatever goes on can come off. Daily walks with the pram once baby is here to build yourself back up to exercise. Try and still eat healthily and it’ll be easier to loose once baby arrives. We’re all different so try not to compare yourself with others.

Not me, but someone I know weighed herself the day before her c-section and then a week afterwards. She lost 1.5 stones in a week.

Please remember that the weight is also made up of baby, amniotic fluid, placenta, extra blood flow, extra fluid you're carrying.

This is coming from someone who wont take her own advice and refuses to jump on the scales because I know it'll make me sad 😂

I gained 20 pounds and had lost it a week after giving birth. I lost and then gained the same 5 pounds in the first half of the pregnancy, then gained about a pound a week from 20 to 40 weeks, so it would have been at least 8 pounds in the last 8 weeks.
