Cake Works!

[mandspice]

All the cake we've been having lately, with ladies leaving for Tri3, has worked.....! I was a bit miffed at only having gained 5lbs at 22 weeks.....weighed myself today and have put on 4lbs in 2 weeks! Now I'm scared - that's loads surely, I'm gonna end up gaining about 3 stone at this rate

 

[Strangeness]

Sounds fine to me hun! You've done well to only gain 9lb so far! I think I'm about a stone up already but I gain weight just by looking at a cake!

 

[sparky]

god knows how much i've gained!! didnt get weighed by mw on tues, and dont particularly want to know...things are still fitting me tho, apart from around the bump

Although with the way i've been getting through cadbury's flakes must start piling it on soon.

Mand, read that from 22 weeks you put on at least 0.5lbs per week

Thanks ladies xx

Eek, 0.5lbs per week?....I've put on 2lbs per week.... Ah well, seems like LO is making up for a slow start!

 

[sparky]

nothing wrong with that..2lbs is nothing when you consider its not just baby, but extra blood and boobies you're growing!

 

[sparky]

anyway we all know how accurate some of the books can be after all the same book says we should only start showing at 5 months...my arse

Haha, true

Just found this, bit simplistic but maybe there's something in it (I was underweight before pregnancy so looks like I could be on course to put on 3 stone ):

The 1 2 3 rule summarises pregnancy weight gain in a way that is easy to understand:

• If you were overweight before you became pregnant, you should aim for a weight gain of around 1 stone.

• If you were a normal weight, you should aim for a weight gain of around 2 stone.

• If you were underweight, you should aim for a weight gain of around 3 stone.

Hey

I've had the same, my weight gain only started properly around the 22 week mark and from there I've gained a good couple of pounds a week. I can't complain though because I was gwetting a little worried about the lack of it before then.

Its fun having an excuse to eat everything in sight, especially if you got sick in the first few months

hmmm cake and kettle chips = my worst enemy at the moment i just cant seem to stop eating them! it doesnt help when the OH calls to say bes bought me some wine gums too!

at my first weight in on the 26th Jan i was 9 1/2 stone. i weighed myself the other day and im just over 10 1/2 stone.

 

[Mildly]

Oh no, I've already put on over a stone I hope my weight gain slows down a bit! Or I am going to be a right heffer at the end!!

I weighed myself at 12 weeks and had lost weight, think that had something to do with feeling so sick! I weighed myself again on the weekend and I'm now 8lbs over what I was before I got pregnant! I feel huge already and have got a very obvious bump, my mum told me today that she was really big with all us kids so it looks like I'm going to be the same!
