I’ve gained so much weight ….😓

[Torkieshorkie]

has anyone else gained a lot of weight during pregnancy? i suppose I’m looking for reassurance that I’m not the only one who has gained this amount of weight.

31 weeks pregnant with my first baby! Very excited however throughout the pregnancy I have always asked not to know my weight.
I have previously had issues around food and my weight.

I was on Mychart and stupidly found my weight chart and I’m shocked.

I have put on 2.5stone!!! 😱 I didn’t think I’d have put on so much weight, I just don’t feel that big but this is a massive shock to me. My boobs are bigger and definitely my thighs but I don’t feel 2.5 stone heavier.

I started off just over 8stone and will likely be around the 11 stone mark when I give birth.
This is too much weight isn’t it. I feel really shocked.

Oh bless you! I put on 4 stone with my first!!! Was 12st ended up a whopping 16 😂 it does come off though. Enjoy your pregnancy xx

Honestly don’t worry I put on 2 stone with my first pregnancy & it went after a few months without even trying….

Thank you both I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thats made me feel a little better. I just wish I hadn’t come across my weight chart and I could be blissfully unaware 🤣

It's mainly baby, amniotic fluid and the extra blood and water your body is carrying. My first I put on 2.5 stone and lost 2 stone during birth 🤣 similar with my second 😌

Don’t worry it will come off after the birth espescially if you plan to breastfeed I couldn’t eat enough to breastfeed and maintain weight it was crazy how quick it happened I went back to 8.5 stone in like 3-4 months

I put on 3 stone with first pregnancy. Lost it all within about 6 months.
Second pregnancy almost exactly the same weight gain to the pound. Took a little longer as I couldn’t be as active with 2 small children but I did eventually lose it all. So I put on and lost about 6 stones all in 😆

Hello. Don't worry. I put 4 st on with my first and 3 st on with my second. I think I retained a lot of water during pregnancy. After, I did a lot of walking with the pram (very slow and gentle at first) but still lost the weight over 6 months.

I'm the same as you normally just over 8 stone, and always put on half my body weight! My 3rd has just turned 10 months and I'm now around 8.13 but I'm still breastfeeding so expect to hold onto a little fat until she's weaned. My stomach actually looks pretty flat, it's mainly my boobs and thighs that are still bigger, I wouldn't worry about it 😊

Awwww thanks everyone ❤️ I’m really grateful for your supportive responses and it’s nice to know it’s pretty normal.

I sound superficial I know but there’s an element of literally giving over your body to grow a human and I don’t have much control and say in it 🤣

Thank you!! Yep it’s basically on my tits and thighs if it’s not on my bump.

I gained 5.5 stone.

3 stone was baby etc (about it 1.5) and water (1.5). The rest was all fat. Took me 6 months to get back to my pre pregnancy weight (and I didn’t start straight away).

Thank you for sharing. This is so reassuring 💓
