Weight gain stopped

[rmorris95]

Hello, just looking for any words of advice!

I'm now 32 weeks pregnant and have been gradually gaining weight until approx 30 weeks. My weight hasn't budged at all in the two weeks. I do feel my bump is getting bigger/lots of movement but online, it says you should expect an average weight gain of 500g per week in third trimester. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I stopped gaining weight in the 3rd trimester because my baby was lying in an awkward way across my stomach and so was making it uncomfortable to eat very much. Nothing was wrong, but this did worry the midwife and I had regular ultrasounds etc.

Mine has slowed down and stopped some weeks since about 28 weeks. Nothing to worry about on it's own.

I started losing weight in my third trimester when my pregnancy sickness returned. I found a sweet spot mid afternoon where I was able to manage a round of toast with Nutella on without nausea and vomiting and that was enough for me to slowly start gaining weight again. I only gained 1stone in total and by the time I stopped breastfeeding I was 1 and a half stone light than before I was pregnant so I'm going to try to put on a bit more weight in my second pregnancy as I ended up quite poorly with it.

I wouldn’t worry, midwife should be measuring your bump which indicates baby is growing. I haven’t been weighted since booking appointment as don’t own scales, no idea what I weigh now at 33 weeks!
