Weight gain in last few weeks

[sandytoes84]

I’m 34+2 and have put on 2 stone so far. I seem to have started retaining water, so feeling a bit puffy.

Some seem to say you pile it on in the last 6 weeks, others that it slows down. I know this is the time when baby will be putting on weight.

Interested to k ow if others ballooned or plateaued in the last month or so!

Didn't weigh myself with my first two but currently with number 3 and there were scales in the midwife's waiting room so stepped on at 36 weeks. I started the pregnancy at 56kg (8 3/4 stone) and at 36 weeks was 77kg (12 stone). I am suspected of having a large baby and have started puffing out a little. Currently 37 plus 4. I'm not eating excessively and don't feel as if I have put on much weight on my frame. I will have another weigh when I'm there end of this week at 38 plus 3. Apparently baby is currently putting on around 1/2 a pound a week at this stage.

I don't remember weighing myself with my first. This is my second baby and I have gained 10kg (37+4). My weight gain seems that have been steady throughout the pregnancy but it is mainly bump and legs which seem that have ballooned the past week or so

I actually read yesterday can't remember what website it was on that after so many weeks you put on around lb a day but half of that goes to baby 🤔 never heard that before mind ano baby puts on half a lb a week in later stages but didnt know mum Did too
