How much weight did you gain in total during your pregnancy?

[Gemmaemilyx]

With my son I gained 4 stone (56lbs) but I took eating to the extreme!!

With this pregnancy I started at 2 stone heavier than I did with my son and now 24 weeks and 1.5 stone (21lbs) up.

Not that it really matters but I don't want to get like I did with my son where found it difficult to lose the excess weight after!

How much weight did you gain or have gained so far? Xx

1st: 10kg

2nd: 13kg

Forgot to add, lost it all both times, back to pre pregnancy weight but a little less toned these days

Hardly any overall. I was quite ill in the first few months and lost a fair amount. I gained it back but didn’t end up much above my pre pregnancy weight.

Just under two stone at 42 weeks! Back to pre weight within a few months but not as toned.

I put a stone on and it basically all came off when he was born, thankfully!

@cheesebubble you're due the same day as me

I put on 7lbs. I had a BMI of 23.

9kg with my first, 25kg with my second 😱
Took a while to get back to normal after having my second child!

I gained 3.5 stone with my DD. The first 3 stone vanished after birth thank goodness. So much water retention! 9 months after I gave birth I was lighter than I’d been in a decade.

I put on a stone in pregnancy last year but had a loss at 16 weeks. Struggled to lose it without making a huge effort and was just getting close and then got pregnant again. Put on weight rapidly and am now a stone heavier again at 17 weeks. I go from a healthy eater to someone who can only stomach carbs for the first trimester.

Similar to @KFleming - felt very sick for a long time so lost a fair amount of weight and then ate normally for rest of pregnancy. Overall that meant I only gained 5lbs.

I was 16 stone 7 when I went in hospital at 36+5 & 11 stone a month after giving birth, I was about 13 stone 7 before getting pregnant.

I'm nearly 29 weeks and so far have put on around 5kg or 11ish pounds. Was normal BMI to start. Not sure how I haven't put on more as my diet has been extremely carb laden!

About 2 stone on each of my 3 pregnancies. The most with my first (a girl), a bit less with my 2 subsequent pregnancies (boys).

It came off within a few weeks after birth, nothing I did, just the way it happened for me. I'm naturally slim.

However, I found my body shape very different, especially after no 3 when I didn't feel 'myself' for a year nearly. Nothing seemed 'right'.

A good friend of mine used to put on loads of weight. It was nothing she did, she didn't eat loads. It was just the way it was for her. She also used to have to actively diet to lose weight after & although she didn't say it, I know she was irritated to see me not having to worry about losing weight. I think a lot of this is genetics or just the way

Posted to soon ... just the way we are.

1.5 stone

Currently 27weeks pregnant with DC2 and have gained 11pounds so far.

Can't remember how much I'd gained with DS1 but I slimmed down back within weeks. Not too sure it'll happen so quickly this time around with the sedentary lifestyle I've been living the past year.

@GrandTheftWalrus ahhhh! Good luck, I can't wait for this baby to come out 😂

@cheesebubble same! Been organised for months just waiting on baby now. Still seems weird though I'm going to be a mother of 2 lol.

10kgs with both. Lost weight quite quickly after both births, so can't blame the babies, but now 2years later, I'm 20kgs over. weight

@GrandTheftWalrus same here being a mum of 2 - it sounds so grown up! I packed the hospital bag today, so you're way more organised than me! My birth plan was only drawn on Friday though, so now packed for a vaginal birth and a cesarean as both could happen! I am hoping this baby will "just slot in" as they say x

I gained 2.5 stone with DD back in 2017.

Pregnant again now but starting at a much heavier weight. I'm only 8 weeks and can't stop eating, scared to weigh myself.

About 1.5 stone with my DD. Still haven’t lost the weight!

1st pregnancy 19kg (3 stone) took 10 months to lose it all,

2nd pregnancy 18kg-20kg. Currently 2 weeks pp and I've lost about 10kgs (baby, water placenta, plus water retention has massively gone down. Boobs are massive now though).

10 kgs. All in the first three months. Got dragged over the coals by my oby/gyn (not in UK) who made it very clear that I couldn't continue to put that amount of weight on over entire pregnancy but they shut up when I didn't put any more on (except baby) for remaining six months. I was very, very hungry at the beginning of pregnancy though and felt sick if I didn't eat, so much so that I took sandwiches to bed with me.
