Weight gain in pregnancy

[Pinkflower23]

Hi all,

I feel like all I every hear is people telling me how much weight they gained in pregnancy. Is weight gain actually monitored?
I was weighed at 6 weeks when I first went to the doctors and told them I was pregnant. Then at my first midwife appointment at 9 weeks she transferred my weight from doctors notes to hers.
I have not stepped on scales since. I’m 32 weeks ? I always thought it was something they monitored but maybe not?
I’ve been weighing myself and I still haven’t put a pound on. At my last scan baby was a really good weight but it is like I am all baby.

Anyone else ? X

I haven't weighed myself since 9 week booking appointment either, my midwife said they will weigh me at 36 weeks, should be the norm.

I'm 40+2 and haven't been weighed since my booking in, pretty sure they're not going to bother weighing me now.

Last pregnancy, I was weighed at 9 weeks at booking in appointment (for my BMI), and not once afterwards.

Weight gain varies (by BMI, by woman) and I think as long as you feel OK and baby seems fine, it doesn't matter how much you've (not) put on!

Weight gain wasn't monitored in my pregnancy.

I occasionally stood on my bathroom scales - perhaps 3-4 times for the whole pregnancy.

I'd put on 3 stone in total but by 6 months postpartum it had all gone without me trying.

Ask your midwife if in doubt and good luck with the pregnancy.

Haven't been weighed in pregnancy since booking appointment. Weighed myself out of curiosity and I'm 7lb lighter than pre pregnancy
