I’ve gained so much weight!

[oatlattetogo]

I had a hospital appointment this morning and they weighed me as part of it. I’ve put on 5kg in the last 7 weeks (from 20 and a bit weeks to 27 and a bit weeks), which seems like a massive amount. I’ve put on about 20lb in total which is a bit of a worry considering my BMI was about 28 before I got pregnant. The sonographer didn’t seem at all fussed and I’ll mention it to my midwife when I next see her, but it’s got me stressed about the risks of excessive weight gain now.

Has anyone else put on a similar amount at this stage of pregnancy and not had any complications?

For what it’s worth, I’m not sure where the weight has gone. I have a bump but I keep getting told I don’t look as far along as I am (I told a few people I see regularly that I was pregnant a couple of days ago and they had no idea) and most of my clothes still fit!

I don’t think it seems excessive, I’m in a similar place, up about 15 pounds at 25 weeks. Just eat healthy where you can but don’t be hungry. Your growing a baby. Plenty of time to lose weight after xx

My BMI was already 30 before the pregnancy and I've gained 10kg, all between 15 and 28 weeks. No weight gain since, but everything seems to be fine. Currently 36 weeks.

I'm in France where they're usually super strict about weight gain, especially if you were overweight before the pregnancy, but nobody has even brought it up so far.

I wouldn't worry too much. I was beside myself as I imagined that weight gain would accelerate in 3rd trimester, but so far no gain at all.

I also don't know where the weight has gone. I have only bought two pairs of maternity leggings, one pair of trousers and two maternity t-shirts. All my clothes except trousers still fit, though bras are getting a bit uncomfortable and I mostly wear soft ones.

21lb at 32+5! I'm also all bump, so not sure where it's going. I'm not worried, it will come off afterwards.

Sorry, that should be "28lb at 32+5"
