I am 16 weeks I’ve already put on a stone! This is my 3rd pregnancy and due to sickness I’ve lived off of crisps, pasta etc I feel so fat because I’m only 5ft and was a size 12 before falling pregnant! Biggest I’ve been out of all my pregnancies. Anyone else gained this much and it slowed down?

I put on a stone by ten weeks! Weight gain naturally slowed down, can't remember when by. Ate like a horse as weight gain didn't phase me, I saw it as natural. I've had 2 babies, youngest is 18 months and I'm 8.5 stone now - half a stone lighter than before I had kids! Relax, weight gain is normal and natural,

Enjoy it I say! I'm 5ft 3 and put on 3 stone when pregnant with my second! It's normal and part of pregnancy just a bit of a pain trying to lose it after haha

I’m 18 weeks tomorrow and have gained about 4.6kg so far. I struggle with my weight and was 67kg at booking which is still rather heavy for my height 5ft4 and my bmi is over weight. I am now about 71.6 . I am struggling coming to terms with gaining weight as I struggle to lose it . I know it’s healthy for baby but don’t want to put excess on that I don’t need to . Hoping it steadies off abit. Your not alone with worrying about weight, I’m just trying to eat mindfully and stay active by walking 3-5 miles daily x

Ye I find it hard to lose weight as well so I think that’s why I’m so worried. I constantly feel sick but feel like I need to eat to keep something in my stomach which is fine but I only feel like crisps, breads, biscuits etc !so its hard to eat better right now

Same I’m going back to slimming world hopefully tomorrow morning or Wednesday to use it as a tool for maintanance through pregnancy. I’m 16 weeks & feel I’ve put on more than I should have. Like you though I am eat more processed carbs than normal due to nausea. Diet has been a bit better over the past few days as it’s settled but nowhere like pre preg! Hoping it settle too for you
