^^ that sounds about right to me. There isnt really a clear answer, but bear in mind you'll lose a stone pretty quicky after the birth and then probably more if you breast feed cos your body uses up all those calories its storing now to build the milk. It depends what you weighed to start with as well from what Ive read. I wish someone would give me a firm answer sometimes, its like you dont wanna gain too much, but you dont wanna compromise baby by not gaining 'enough'

Ok, I've been using this calculator but I gained 2 kgs the other week, which catapulted me over the recommended weight gain - so I put a disclaimer on this, only look if you can cope with the result!

my midwife told me the average weight gain during pregnancy is 21lbs but as long as i gain the weight of my baby during pregnancy then i should be ok as im not gaining much - then again havent weighed myself for a week now i think (running upstairs to scales. . . .)

I've lost half a stone, but I'm hoping that's cos I was doing some serious muscle workouts pre-pregnancy and my muscle tone has all disappeared now!

 

[evie_smith]

oh, I just did that calculator and it says I havent gained enough.... I got so many lectures about not gaining 'too much' weight because my BMI was 30. but noone would tell me how much is too much. I think Ive over done it. Im 5lb under the lower end of my target weight gain.

Shouldve had a choc bar at lunch time eh?! I'll grab myself a choc ice.... munch munch!

I have lost 9lbs so far... I am hoping I am one of those woman who having a baby kick starts their metabolism and end up skinnier after than before I got pregnant! lol xx

i did the test and was only 1ibs under what i was "suppose" to be this week!!

 

[sexyamy2005]

well it says i can gain up to 1st 11lb based on the fact my BMI was 30 to start with .... but iv only put on 7lb so far, im not quite half way yet but not that far off, i dont feel like im eating anymore than b4 either

but i was only 4lb5 when i was born (only 2 days early but my mums small build) and OH was only 7lb when he was born so im guessing im just having a small baby, iv only just started to get a bump in the last week too, but its started underneath my boobs which makes me feel weird, lol

 

[isobel84]

my BMI was 33 to start with and midwife said i should put on between 1-2 stones. 2 weeks ago i had put on 9ibs so its prob about a stone now.
