check your weight gain!!

[jodied]

Catty I'm sure I will have put at least that on but I'm too scared to weigh myself! I was 10 stone 7 when I got married and 11 stone by the time I'd been on my honeymoon (when we conceived) so I'm treating that as my pre-pregnancy weight. I last dared to wiegh myself on 7th December at 19+1 and I was 12 stone 4 so I'd put 1 stone 4 lbs on by then. I dread to think what I weigh now!!! x

Well I finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself and I'm 12 stone 12. That's 10 pounds over what I should be. Made me cry

Well scrap what i said about being 5lb under!! I was going on my weight from a few weeks ago as stupidly thought I would be around the same!! Weighed myself yesterday and got the shock of my life!! Up to a few weeks ago I'd only put on about 5 or 6 lb for the whole pregnancy...now I've put on a stone!!! I'm still 1lb under the healthy weight gain, but wow that was a shock to have piled on so much so quickly...have been looking quite big lately, think baby has had a growth spurt! God knows how big I'll continue to get over the next 3 months, I'm getting a bit worried now!! xx

I was quite happy untill a few weeks ago - but I weighed myself yesterday, and like you Amandapanda, got the biggest shock of my life!!! Ive now put on 1st 4!! Id only put on 5lbs when i was 18 weeks, and all of a sudden, its gone piling on!
It must be the 23/25 week mark where it happens - ah ladies behind us, your time will come!

And dont cry jodied - we can do a diet thing when our little ones are here, and lose it together, but on here..if that makes any sense...It sounds awful and vain, but I cant wait to get my body back

I agree with you totally lea - I think it definietely piles on as you approach the end of trimester 2. I haven't even been eating more...possibly less as I get really bad heartburn and acid indigestion if I eat too much! I was overweight to start with and I must say I am looking forward to baby being born and getting fit and healthy. I want to be a yummy mummy!! xx

Oh yes and don't cry Jodied....you're at the same stage as me and Lea....I think it's just this stage of pregnancy when the weight piles on. I read that we should be putting on 1lb a week now....that's almost another stone by the end....I really don't want to put on that much as I'm obese already!! xx
