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 10kg throughout my pregnancy

I'm 35 weeks and I've put on 1.4stone (9kg), I've been lucky and has no sickness, but I'm not focusing on the weight. I weigh myself most morning but as more of a check in, as long as my baby is growing I'll cope with the fat Smile

20 weeks with first and so far 8lb gained. Apparently the midwifes do not weigh as a matter of course any more.

Found an online calculator for weight gain and based on my height / starting weight 7.3-12.3 at this point is average although of course everyone is so different. Lots more weight to gain in the coming 20 weeks!

I’d gained just over a stone at 20 weeks but you really can’t compare as it’s all dependant on your starting weight/height/BMI.
I’ll probably weigh myself once more at around 30 weeks more out of interest than anything else! (I put on around 2.5 stone during my first pregnancy)

God, I dread to think. 22 weeks and all I can do is eat and eat and eat. All of the wrong things but I have no control at the moment. I did loose half a stone to start with but have put that and much more back on.

Wish me luck. Am about to step into the scales.

3 stone and I'm not even pregnant

Ouchjuststoodonlego · 24/06/2020 16:03

Ok so
Started at 9st 3
Went down to 8st 6 as I was ill (possibly covid)
And am now 9st 12
So, so I count the gain as from my pre pregnancy weight, therefore 9lbs on

Or from my lowest weight, therefore 18lbs? Blush

18+4 and put on 10lbs but was a couple of pounds underweight before pregnancy.

Also 16 weeks and have gained 1 lb (really bad morning sickness). Think I must have lost an awful lot of muscle as my boobs are bigger and I’ve got a pretty massive bump (expecting twins). Feeling a bit shit about what bad shape I must be in!

Whatever you gain, you lose a lot when you give birth! And breastfeeding is a great way of shedding some pounds too (found it amazing with DD1!), plus toting a baby around is good exercise. I wouldn’t focus too much on exactly what you weigh (I’m trying to tell myself that having kids to run after is a great way to get back in shape!)
