How much weight did you put on?

[LoveActually]

I had a 36 week scan/check up today and have gained 19kgs in total (so far!). The widwife said average was 15kgs. Was just under 9stone 9 (am 5 8) when I got pregnant, and to be honest most of the weight appears to be on my bump.
I used to work out 5/6 times a week so was probably bound to put some extra on because I had to give up exercise two months ago. But still!!

had 4 pregnancies and each has been different. in one pregnancy i was so sick i had barely put on a stone by delivery. but with a later pregnancy i put on about 4 stone. strangely enough within about 4 months of all 4 births i always weighed the same (about 7lbs over my usual weight, which didn't drop off till i stopped breastfeeding). i think your body just knows what to do and you shouldn't worry too much.

I put 4 stone on with my first (about 25kg) but I had pre-eclampsia and the majority of it came off within a month of delivery.

I'm currently 28 weeks pg and have put on 2 stone so far (about 12.5 kg) but the water retention hasn't kicked in yet.

It's a lot I know, especially as I'm only 5"2. I was about half a stone overweight when I got pg with DD1 but was about right when I fell pregnant this time......
