Is this bad? I wonder how much of that is baby

It probably depends a bit on your starting weight (I have a very high BMI and 18 weeks but am yet to put on any weight, and expect to put on less weight over the course of my pregnancy), but I expect your midwife would have mentioned if she was worried?

I’m still lighter at 35 weeks than at the beginning of pregnancy and no one seems concerned!
BMI 27 at beginning.

If all your appointments have been fine, then I'm sure all is well. I gained about the same. It'll be all baby/baby-related but that's fine.

I only gained 6kg in the whole pregnancy, delivered a 3.4kg baby at 41 weeks. Was on the overweight side to begin with but nothing extreme. If baby seems to be measuring OK then I wouldn't worry personally.

With my first I put on 10lb and she weighed 8.3! The Midwife always said 'you are the right weight for you.'

Just worked out BMI was 22.
