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

I’m 35+3 and so far only put on less than 2kg, so with the weight of the baby I’ve in effect lost weight. My appetite has been very small throughout pregnancy, I’ve been gutted because I was looking forward to scoffing everything while I can!

3 stone last time. Started this pregnant at a lower weight (thanks breast feeding) but at 30 weeks I've put 6lb on this time. Not through a lack of trying, got an emergency referral to gastro as I have all the markers of IBD, Colitis or Crohn's ☹️

4 stone in total, 3 stone was babies/water retention/placenta etc (twin pregnancy, a stone was babies!) and the other stone was M&S shortbread biscuits.

The biscuit stone has never left me (they’re 3 now) and has made at least one new stone friend if not two

This made me giggle. A lot!!! And is so very very true of all my pregnancies!

5 stone I was heavily pregnant during lockdown 1 and ate all my anxiety!! I'm 10 months PP now and I've lost 2.5 stone without trying. Now the gyms are back open and I'm due to return to work I'll try to get the rest off. If I have another baby I think I would aim for 2.5 stone max as it's come off so easily with breastfeeding etc.

DC1 2.5 stone

DC2 3 stone

They were both small babies,mans it took me a while to shift the weight.

Currently 29 weeks pregnant with DC 3 and have put on 11lbs, but I've been a lot more mindful about what I'm eating this time round.

4 stone with DC1, but I was underweight to begin with and went very overdue.

2 stone with DC2. Would have undoubtedly been more, but I actually lost a stone in the first trimester due to hyperemesis.

I didn’t overeat either time, so I think my weight gain was just how my body reacted.

1st5, but I lost 1st7 the day I had him. I’ve never been that thin again in the 8 years since he was born.

I was very very nauseous all the way to 19 weeks (I lost 9lb to this point), then developed diabetes at 28 weeks. It was not a fun pregnancy.

I’m 23 weeks and gained 2lbs but I’m very obese. I’ve also had a lot of nausea and not wanted to eat a great deal, which worries me about getting nutrition in for baby as what I can stomach is very limited / mainly beige (except broccoli, carrots and tomatoes).

Exactly a stone each time

I was 2.2 stone heavier by term. Most but not all weight back off (LO is three months old).

#1 3.5 stone
#2 4 stone 😁

I didnt eat any differently to pre pregnancy, I just puff up like the Michelin man with awful fluid retention and with my son I had Polyhydramnious too. Thankfully it falls off as soon as I'm not pregnant any more 🥴
