I am nearly 24 weeks and have gained 1.5 stones or TEN whole kilos. I only gained 12 kilos in total with DS so feel like a total lardarse. Anyone else?

I am 25 weeks and have gained 7lb so far which is about the same as I'd gained with DS at this stage.

I am 26 weeks and have added 2 stone of belly and boobs. At 24 week scan was told baby weighed 1 pound 4 oz. I look massive, but it is all out front. Is third baby, much bigger than with other 2. Can't wear trousers any more whether maternity or not, over bumb or under bump all too uncomfy, can only wer leggings and dresses.
Baby 2 was 9 lb 3 so doubt this one will be any smaller. Lost all teh weight pretty quickly afterwards though so totally unphased by this weight gain. We don't have scales at home, used in laws when visiting, so will probabaly not know the final total....

Before pregnant I was about 10 stone 8. I am 34 weeks, and have put on over 2 stone. I have a very out front football-style comedy bump, and am pretty tall (5ft11), so I don't 'appear' much bigger at all anywhere else (small boobs which haven't grown that much). I have stayed really active in pregnancy: 2 x weekly gym classes until 27 weeks, a LOT of walking (to and from work an hour each way unless weather is too bad) and sessions of preggo yoga, pilates and davina video now. So 2 stone seems a lot, and i'm sure it will be more like 3 by the time baby comes, but i don't think i could have done more fitness and I'm confident that I can loose it again with b-feeding and exercise post birth.

I am 24 weeks and I have gained about a stone....though it is all in my boobs and belly (which makes me look rather ridiculous as I still look like mu usual size 8, 8 stone from behind!!!).....a little bit concerned as I don't remember gaining weight so quickly in my last 2 pregnancies. The second pregnancy I gained weight quicker than in my first, but then in my first pregnancy I ended up bigger by the end...I am hoping that I will plateau as otherwise my bump might start to stick out too much for me to actually walk properly!!!! (or I may need to get a stool on wheels that I can rest it on!!!)

I'm 20 weeks and have gained about 11pounds thankfully just boobs and tummy (for now!), and still in my size 8 jeans but I'm preparing myself for a sudden surge in weight gain over the next few weeks

HI - I am in the lardy camp......I am 24 weeks and have gained just over 2 stones already.... I don't know how - as I am not overeating and walking every day. I was a toned size 10/12 before - but no more ! Its all over - boobs, bump, bum and annoyingly legs - none of my long boots will do up and my knees look hideous. Still - after 3 miscarriages before this pregnancy - I am not going to be upset - just plan to work hard to get it off afterwards and hope I lose it when breastfeeding. I have decided people will tell me I look amazing then as the contrast will be so big to now ! Goodness only knows how the next 16 will go - I look ready to pop now and its not twins ! People keep telling me its going to be a girl, but we decided not to find out on the 21 week scan - I am hoping for a boy really deep down - so I hope they're wrong....

22 weeks here and put on just under a stone, not really caring 4th baby and I know it will come off again, it's mostly bump but my bum has spread out a bit too.

By 24 weeks I had put on a stone but got diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 26 weeks so thanks to the tablets have now lost a stone and a half so now weigh less than i did when fell pregnant. I am 36 weeks x I would have rather been able to eat chocolate and carried on putting on weight. The tablets for the diabetes make you lose weight so if i have any spare after the birth i will be selling them on the black market lol
