hya everyone i have just read that by this time in pregnancy putting on between 5 and 10 pounds is normal. I don't think Ive put on anything! maybe a pound?, how much did all of you put on at my stage? im really worriedx

 

[Froslass]

I wouldnt worry hun xx I lost about a stone and a half, and I've still not really put any weight back on xx

If you've been sick, or babies metabolism is faster than yours (causing baby to use more calories than you eat) then you could be losing weight as baby grows, meaning it doesn't look like you've put on any weight xx

If you're really worried hun I'd give the midwife a wee call, or mention it to her at you 16 week appt xxx

thanks honey, i went to my 16week appointment on monday and she listened to babies heartbeat and said it was fine. i haven't been sick at all, although my appetite seems to have decreased. I hope it's nothing xxx

 

[Froslass]

I'm sure your midwife would have said if she thought there awas anything the matter xx

I've stopped being sick now, but my appetite has def decreased, and I def dont eat as much as I used to xxx

Kepp a wee eye on it though, see how it goes xx

 

[saze]

Well I've put on about 2 stone last time I got wieghed at MW 16 week app. That was 5 weeks ago now and I'm much bigger so next time I'm back, the scales will probably scream and tell me one person at a time!!! xxx

They don't count

 

[i.love]

don't worry hun. I hardly put any weight on either. My mw said I shouldn't think about it - the baby will take what it needs xx

Don't worry as everyone is different. With my son in 2006 I only put on 7lbs so lost weight whilst pregnant then with son 2 in 2010 I put on 9lbs.....as long as your both healthy then that's all that matters!

 

[saze]

thank you everyone i was worried the baby wasn't growing. I seriously need to stop worrying! xxx

Hi Saze! Just wanted to add that my best friend had her baby 6 weeks ago and was told that her baby was a parasite as she didn't put on weight the whole way through and was in her pre pregnancy jeans a week after the birth! Baby is healthy and fine! I'm sure your MW would have said something if there was concern xxxxx

I've put on about 3lbs, surprised its not more because in Tri 1 I ate and ate to stop feeling sick and felt too ill to go to the gym / swim - back at the gym 3 times a week now tho!

 

[Sarah13]

I was a bit worried about this too as I lost over a stone in tri 1 and only put a couple of pounds back on, so Im still a stone lighter than when i started! All my pre-pregnancy clothes hang off me and my bump is very tiny!

 

[Katie21]

Don't worry hun, i lost half a stone in the first 12 weeks then didnt start putting it back on til about 15 weeks. I have now gained another half a stone. You will be piling it on before you know it! x
