How much weight have you gained so far?

[First time mum]

Hi Girls

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and jumped on the scales today and have put on 6 pounds since finding out I was pregnant.

I'm not weight obsessed by any means but was just wondering what is a "good" weight gain and was wondering how many weeks each of you are and how much weight you have gained so far.

I never had morning sickness (very lucky) and now find that I have a good appetite and could eat all day although I am tryin to do a little exercise as well.!!!!!!

I am just over 19weeks and I have put on a total of 11lbs, all bump so i'm happy....plus some fluid retention! my body seems to luuuurve the fluid!

 

[First time mum]

Ha ha lisapsoon, I can sympathise with that, I feel bloated with fluid rather than with baby!.

I use to get bad fluid retention just before my periods as well, enough for me to turn to aquaban some months !!!!. I wonder if your more likely to suffer more fluid rentention when pregnant if you have the bloating before periods as well?

When I weighed myself at 24 weeks + 1 day, I had gained 10lb - I have a MW appt on Friday and keep getting worried I will get told off for gaining too much! I feel huuuuuuge!

I'm a few days behind you and have put on about 8 pounds. I'm a bit cross with myself cos at the time of accidently falling pregnant I was trying to lose weight from my 3rd pregnancy and still had about a stone to go.

Really don't want to put on too much this time as have had a real struggle after daughters 2 and 3 but I just can't stop eating! Just trying to make sure it's fruit and rice cakes rather than cakes and crisps.

I too bloated really badly before my period, so much so all that effort of trying to lose the tummy made it seem pointless since it came back for a week of the month!
I sympathise...it must be our bodies!

[Snooky]

[sarah113]

[bobby1]

I have put on about a stone, maybe a bit less, since becoming pregnant and I am 26+5

wow @ rach - I cannot believe you have lost weight!!

 

[Laura_James&Amber]

I'm 36+6 and I've put on 2 stone, its all on my bump and hips, oh and I reckon my ankles weigh about a stone on their own at the minute!

 

[tallulah73]

I had really severe morning sickness in tri 1 and went from 8st 10lb to 8st 5lb.

Ive put it all back on now and then some. I weighed myself yesterday and im now 9st 7lb.
So ive gained 16lb!!!

 

[Bexie]

Prior to getting pregnant I weighed 10 1/2 stone, by 12 weeks I weighed 10 stone, now at almost 25 weeks I'm 10stone 11 lb, luckily it's all baby weight at the front!

 

[EllieBelle]

Im 21 weeks and so far put on about 12lbs.........

I dont think I have put on too much weight on hips, bum etc so far - its all my bump so far!

I had only put on 7lbs at 18 weeks though.

 

[Julie84]

I've put on about a stone now, but that's pretty much all gone on in the last 6 to 8 weeks. My midwife says she has no intentions in weighing me again unless I loook like I'm piling it on (I'm no sure if that should be taken as a compliment or not!)

Between weeks 9 and 14 I lost 5 kilos (about 11 lbs) but I have had horrid sickness and not been able to eat much cos of a severe lack of apetite. I have started to feel better the past week and hopefully I have started put a bit of it back on but I haven't weighed myself again yet.
