How much weight you gained?

[Viletta]

Hi all,

Just wondering how much weight you gained, how quickly and what trimester? How quickly you lost it, if at all? I'm week 9 and so far I've been eating more than usual but haven't put on weight (I try to avoid sweet though). My BMI is 27.5, I gained a stone over the last two years of ttc. Wondering how easy it is to gain healthy amount of weight. I think these days the trend shifted from eating for two to making sure you don't gain too much. I see ladies in my office coming from mat leave being skinnier than before pregnancy. How do they do it?

Currently 37 plus 1 and gained 20.5lb. I gained 5lb in first trimester, another 4lb in second then the last few weeks about 1lb per week

I gained exactly 1 stone in my first pregnancy and slightly over 1 stone in my second.

Officially 2 stone- however I was admitted to hospital with HG before my booking in appointment, and lost about a stone before then. So realistically, about a stone.

I lost it within 6 months.

Thank you all for replying!

Net gain was 0.

I remember being determined not to gain massive amounts of weight during my pregnancy as I was scared of struggling with weight after having kids ( which is fairly common)

So it’s definitely possible to not gain any weight from start of pregnancy to after birth

I gained a stone roughly, most in trimester 3, lost it all within a week or so of birth. But I had gestational diabetes and the enforced diet meant virtually no weight gain once you take off baby, placenta and fluid.

I started at 63kg, went down to 57kg, and eventually was at 75kg the day my waters broke (a few days after EDD).

Starting this pregnancy a few kg heavier but hoping I might still finish around the same! 😬
