I'm 30 weeks now & feeling huge! interested to hear if people gained more weight in the 3rd or 2nd trimester as I can't imagine growing much more!! worried about having gained too much already & wondering if anything I can do to slow down weight gain for last couple of months

Stay as active as possible and eat healthy options.

With most recent I gained most weight in the 1st 16wk (carb loader with the nausea) then nothing more until after 35wk when I stopped going in the gym.
I got big bump wise from 24wk. 20wk baby was 50th centile, 31+6wk was 97th centile, 35+6wk jumped above all lines on centile chart, born 38+6wk weighing 10lb 15oz. 4 of our others were big too but she beat her brother by 3oz, our 1st was an average 7lb 7oz. I was big with current newborn but I had 17lb worth of twins before her so felt small compared to that pregnancy.

3 pregnancies, I always gain the most in the first trimester/early second trimester, before relentless nausea and heartburn kicks in, and also it just seems to be the way my body does pregnancy. I'll put on 1-2 stone by 20 weeks and then 1 more stone before birth.
