how much weight had you put on by 17 weeks?

[HannahsBaby]

Hi girls, hope your all enjoying tri 2. I finally feel myself again after the sickness, tiredness and fatigue etc. I went on a website yesterday with a 'how much weight you should gain' calculater on it, and it said I should of gained a good few pounds by now - however I am exactly the same weight as I was before I got pregnant. Its worried me a little bit, I will try and eat more, but to be honest I feel like I'm eating enough as it is. Any thoughts and is anyone else found this? (My mate is 23 weeks pregnant and has put on 21 pounds so far - that is what got me thinking about this....) Xxx

Im not 17 weeks yet but i havnt put any weight on at all. In fact ive lost weight.

I havent reached 17wks yet but i think ive put on 2lbs if that..but i did lose 6lbs to start with so im still 4lbs under from what i weighed when i found out i was PG! x

 

[AbbyJ]

I had a lot of sickness too, I have a big bump but am only 2ib more than i was before

 

[jld123]

oh god your all so lucky. im 21 weeks and ive put on just under a stone! argh

I'm 18 weeks and have only put on 2 pounds. I feel bigger though but thinks it's because I'm not drinking alcohol and generally trying to eat healthily that's it's counter balancing on the scales. As long as your eating regularly I wouldn't worry. Between 17 and 20 weeks baby doubles in size so u might find you put in a bit in next 3 weeks x x

i had put on about 7lbs by the time i hit 20 weeks, i posted up a calculator on her somwhere so you can cheak your weight gain and see if its healthy xx

It really does differ with everyone and it's normal if you have sickness to lose weight in the first trimester. I had no sickness and ate really well but had only put on around 6lb by the time I got to about 24 weeks. Since then it has been piling on alot more, but I've still gained just less than a stone whereas it's normal to have gained 2 stone by now. It'll definitely start piling in by tri 3 so I wouldn't worry! xx

I'm the same- same weight or even slightly less I've def lost weight on my face, neck and arms.I asked the midwife she said it seems ok just gotta make sure baby getting nutrients so I try eat fruit or started having a glass of smoothie a day. I think its because I've had no appetite. (I've hardly had sickness *touch wood*) so can't put it down to that! I'm sure it gains some at some mad rate at some point along the way!!! Xx

I lost 2kgs at first. I'm 23weeks today and I've put on from the 2kgs but I'm still 2lbs under what I was to start with! Xxx

I'm not going to weigh myself so i have no idea, i can still just fit in some of my pre pregnancy clothes but they are tight.. i feel like I have put on a hell of a lot though.

 

[Belfast girl]

at 17 weeks i weighed exactly the same as pre-pregnancy and had the same question as you.

now the weight has piled on!!

 

[xshauna_bazx]

I don't weight myself and only got weighed once by the midwife at 7 weeks. I hate the scales. xxx

 

[jardiggle]

You girls are so lucky. I'm nearly 12 weeks and have already put on 8 lb! I have to eat or I'll vomit/be miserable -- I choose food.

 

[Smithy1980]

Oh im the same, about 8lbs already! Hoping it slows down as I lost 4 stone on Weightwatchers in the last year and so don't want to pile on un-necessarily....without sounding ungrateful of course!! Xxx

 

[teampc]

i have no idea about my weight, its not something I have ever bothered with

they weighed me at my booking in appointment, basically told me I was too heavy and that meant over the pregnancy I could only put on x amount of weight (cant remember what it was lol)

in the beginning I was very sick so I imagine I probably lost a bit of weight, now I have my appetite back and am eating normally but dont seem to have put on weight, I just have a bump now I eat daft healthy so I figuire thats all that really matters to be honest, as long as me and baby are getting what we need thats all thats important

 

[cherelle]

I think ive put on about a stone but im 27 weeks now. I thinks it really differs for everyone - i had a big bump quite early on so put on quite a bit by 20 weeks but it seems to have evened out now and im all bump x

 

[lonelymummy]

With my son I put on a total of 15lbs in pregnancy and had lost 17lbs within a week of giving birth. With this little girl im 22 weeks and have already put on more or less a stone.

We all differ, as does every pregnancy. Enjoy being pregnant and let your midwives tell you if there is anything to worry about.

It all comes off eventually anyway and if it doesnt call it baby love.

I think the slimmer you are before pregnancy determines how soon you look pregnant ( people were commenting at 12 weeks with me. Good job i am pregnant eh?) but weight gain can be pretty random.

 

[Lou_1]

ive not bothered to weigh myselfe either and i cant mind what i weighed at my last appointment- Im not fussy about how much i put on tbh im giving my body a break its working hard so it having whatever it wants lol xx

 

[Mmefierce]

I've lost half a stone since being pregnant and am always super-worried about it, I work long hours and am on my feet all day so... I'm really hoping that the weight piles on from here!
