Hi everyone
Just looking to see if anyone is having / had similar experiences.
I had a BMI of 22 before pregnancy and I’m quite petite. I am also very active, both before pregnancy and I continue to be in pregnancy-not to point of tiredness, just being busy and doing the exercise I enjoy. I don’t allow myself to get exhausted and I feel I have a healthy balanced diet with three meals a day and the odd snack - I don’t deny myself anything.
I’m now 24+4 and I have gained 10Ilbs since I fell pregnant, prob 4 or 5 in my first trimester. From a few google searches etc this seems to be quite a low amount and I’ve found a few questionable charts online that seem to suggest I should have gained more (I know, I shouldn’t ask Dr Google 🤦♀️).
This is now really worrying me. I mentioned it to my midwife who didn’t seem bothered but I just can’t get out of my head that something might be wrong. I’m a FTM so no idea what to expect.
Has anyone had a similar experience or found their weight ‘catching up’ later In pregnancy. The way I am going I feel like I’m not going to make the recommended gain (min 25Ilbs for my pre pregnancy weight I think).
