2nd pregnancy, weight gain

[ecossegirl91]

I’m a slim person by nature and at my booking in appt my BMI was just over 20 at 10 weeks pregnant. I’m now 30 weeks and was weighed at my last appointment and I reckon I’ve gained 1.5 stone. Is that a lot by this stage? I’ve still got maybe another 10-11 weeks left! So could easily be over 2 stone by the end as don’t they say it’s a lb a week in trimester 3? I wasn’t weighed at all during baby 1 so got to remain blissfully unaware 🤣

You are meant to gain around 2 stone in pregnancy. I gained more in my 2nd pregnancy than my 1st.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. What you have said sounds very normal to me.

I gained 3.5st with both my kids. Lost all of it after my first and most of it after my second. I finally lost the last bit last year (my youngest was 8) as I was fed up and had started putting on weight again. By the sounds of it you're doing fine. For reference I was around 10st3 when I got pregnant on both my kids but was around 13.5 stone when I was 40 weeks.
