Weight gain. How much has everyone else gained

[Mir1234]

I'm 16 weeks on Friday and I've gained 7lb so far, how much has everyone else gained?

I'm not sure if this I a lot but I did put a lot on in the first trimester from eating carbs then I stayed the same for the last few weeks when I started to eat normal again.

I gained 2 stone (& lost 1.5!) with both of my pregnancies.
But my body shape may be different to yours, as may our metabolisms, pre-pregnancy diets, activity levels etc so it is really tricky to compare.

If you want help to decide what to eat, there's some good info available on what to eat to "build a baby" (but remember that the baby will always get what it needs from you & it'll be you that needs to fill any deficiencies for your own body!)

I'm 33 weeks and I've gained 1.1/2 stone.

I'm 17 weeks and only gained 1lb so far which I've been really surprised by!

I'm 36 weeks and have gained 1 and a half stone so far, been weighing every week and gain has slowed down this last couple of weeks

I'm 17 weeks and gained about 8lb so far. With my DC I gained 3 stone each but lost it very quickly and they were MASSIVE babies too. Kind of hoping I don't put on too much weight as I am getting married only 4 months later (dress bought already as wedding was supposed to be in April), and I have to have a c-section so won't even be able to exercise for at least 6 weeks

I'm 36 weeks and have put on just under 2st..... I'm hoping that a stone of that is baby and placenta etc! 🤰

I bought scales yesterday and weighed myself today. I’m 18w4 and have gained 8lbs. I was never weighed to begin with though so only guessing what my weight was prior.

Apparently 8-10lbs is normal by 18 weeks.

My photo was a bit blurred

I’m 30 weeks and have gained nothing since conception BUT I am obese, my BMI is 37.

I’ve been very careful not to gain although I think it’s partly due to being so overweight anyway, I’m 15stone 9 as it is.

I lost weight over the first few months but now at 23 weeks I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Although zero net gain, I’ve now put on 8lbs since the lowest weight at about 9 weeks pregnant, so 8lbs in 14 weeks.

35 weeks and 32 pounds, wahhhh and I was half a stone heavier to begin with then I usually am

Are we meant to weigh ourselves?! 🥴

35 weeks and put on 2 stone 4 pounds, looks like I’m doing something wrong judging by these other comments 🤔

I'm only 5 weeks with 3rd but belly sticking out boobs are loads bigger. My clothes are tight feel fat and awful . Anyone else feeling the same. Or any tips how not not hate my body at the minute.

I’m 30+4 and I’ve gained 5lb . I’m thinking these last few weeks will be when I gain the most seeing as I haven’t gained a lot so far. I haven’t eaten a lot though and not really had cravings .

@Birdy1991 im 34 weeks and at 2 stone too, and really could of done without it as it is. But I dont feel fatter if that makes sense, just pregnant!!

15 weeks and 8lbs. 7 of that by 11 weeks.

Now that I’m feeling a bit brighter, I want to start properly thinking about what I’m eating & how I’m moving.

I’m 17 weeks and have put on 4lb. My BMI is 35 though so have to be really careful not to put on too much!

28w and gained nothing as i lost so much weight in the 1st trimester being sick every few mins

19+3 and 6lb so far, BMI was 25 pre pregnancy

@Sunsage I’ve not weighed myself the whole way through, I don’t have scales 😂

36 weeks and 3st ahhh

Oh actually 37 weeks... Lol

@Sunsage I only weight myself regularly because I am very overweight and want to make sure I only gain a minimal amount. The hospital have been really horrible about it, despite the fact that I’ve gained nothing at 30 weeks. To be honest, it makes me think sod it then, I’ll eat what I want but I know it will make my section more risky being my 3rd already if I gain any.

I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained any weight yet. However I weigh the same as I did when I was 18 weeks with my first.

I'd gained about 10lb at 16 weeks with my first and gained 42lb in total at the end of the pregnancy. I was really greedy (craved 😉) with choc though, especially in the last trimester.
