How much weight to put on by 20 weeks?

[No2incoming]

Feeling really crap as just weighed myself and I've put on a stone just turning 22 weeks. In the beginning I did exercise but with the heatwaves I gave up and now just can't seem to get back into it. I try my best to eat well. This is my second but I just feel the weight is piling on! I'm worried getting too big and nearer the end will be difficult to move around with my other child.

Bump

I am at the exact same stage and have gained the exact same amount as you. It's my first baby so less experienced than you, but I think it's a fairly normal amount to put on? I did this calculator and it came up as the higher end of average.

I'm 36 weeks and have put 12lb on but everyone is different.

I’m 16 weeks and have put on 6kg already

Me too. I was fine with my first it was such an easy pregnancy, I didn't even look pregnant until the end. This one, my second, has made my appetite insane and the only thing that curbs the nausea is eating too, so I've gained sooooo much weight. I look so pregnant and I'm only 20 weeks I've no idea how I'll look at 40... Not weighed myself yet because I don't want to make myself sad. Absolutely feeling the body aches with my stomach expanding so much this time too, round ligament pain is a killer omg

I put on 12lbs in the first trimester and 11lbs in the second, eating was the only thing keeping the nausea at bay :( I asked the midwife because I was worried about the weight gain and she wasn't fussed as I was a healthy BMI to start with. Try not to worry

@QueenZoflora that calculator was really helpful thank you! I checked my weight, height etc and I'm just at the top end. I guess I'll just have to be really careful not to over indulge the next few months

I put on sooo much weight. I was already noticing it by 20 weeks but by the end it was over 3 and a half stone I think. I’m now a year pp and it’s all gone 😊 I really thought I wouldn’t be able to lose it but it came off quite quickly. Just enjoy yourself, it’s the one time it’s fully allowed!
