If anybodys worried about weight gain...

For those of you who are worried about weight gain just seen this:


Where's the Pregnancy Weight Going?
It’s pretty much a given that you won’t be giving birth to a 25-to-35-pound baby. And that’s a very good thing. Want to know where the rest of those pounds settle? For a 30-pound weight gain, they’ll be distributed approximately like this:

Baby: 7.5 pounds

Placenta: 1.5 pounds

Amniotic fluid: 2 pounds

Uterine enlargement: 2 pounds

Maternal breast tissue: 2 pounds

Maternal blood volume: 4 pounds

Fluids in maternal tissue: 4 pounds

Maternal fat stores: 7 pounds


Feel better? Lol x

I'm slightly worried for the opposite reason, especially after reading those stats. I've only put 6lbs on total so far and i'm 31 weeks today!! x

This is brilliant! I stopped weighing my self when I had put on 2stone so I reckon I've put on several more. I'll shift it though!

Claire I only put on 8lb during tri 1 & 2 then it really really piled on during tri 3 and I've now put on almost 2 stone!! You could be a late bloomer like me, lol xxx

Hmm the other 2 stone I've gained must be the chocolates and cakes I've stuffed myself with over the last 6 months! In my defence however, midwife said yesterday that baby is 'not small' I'm dedicating another pound to that! lol x

Absolutely! Nothing to worry about at all ....

I hope you don't mind me hanging around in tri 3 - my friends are all still here and I should be too!

I'm going to weigh myself this morning! Before I was pregnant I was 11 stone. At 35 weeks I weighed 13 stone 9 so I had put on 2 stone 9.

I had Ella at 35+5 and she weighed 5lbs 9 and apparently I had a lot of waters.

So let's see what the damage is two weeks on from her being born ....

No my MW just said 'lucky you' when I told her! lol My appetite is beginning to pick up a bit now so i'll probably be like Amamnda said 'a late bloomer'. My cousin only put 1 stone on during her whole pregnancy too for both children. x

Well I now weigh 12 stone 7 so the birth has led to a weight loss of 1 stone 2.

That means I need to lose 1 stone 7 to get back to my pre pregnancy weight (and another half stone to get back to my wedding weight so really I want to lose 2 stone) x

I have started up a thread in the dieting section if anyone is interested in losing their baby weight together once you have had your little ones! Would be nice to do it with the help/support of my buddies here in tri 3! The thread is http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/hea...s-want-try-lose-our-baby-weight-together.html
