Is this normal weight gain??

[Jayceesmumma]

I was 8st before I fell preg.. Ten days ago I weighed 9st10 and yesterday I weighed 10st1!!
Is this normal?? I only weighed with my second at the end and I weighed 11 and a half st at about 8.5 months... I'm only 18 weeks! I also weighed 8th before my second too..

Plus I've been bedbound from 12-16 weeks and eating crap.. But 16-now I've felt better so been WAY more active clearing the house and walking everywhere every day and hardly eating anything (besides the mcds breakfast this morning) as I've gone off food... Yet I've gained 5pm in just ten days?? Ten very active, hardly eating days!!

Normal??

Also from like 4 weeks til 12 I had major 24/7 sickness so hardly ate then either!!!

Maybe you have lots of water and your metabolism probably slowed down from lack of food to store everything you do eat for baby. I wouldn't worry, unless your midwife is, just eat what you can and try to keep it balanced, stay active, your body will react how it needs to to norish the baby. There was another thread a couple of days ago about weight gain and it showed we're all different and gaining at different rates. Scary I know to put on more than your used to (I put on over 4 stone and was like you only 8 stone last time) but you will go back to normal, you did last time, worries me too though but I'm trying not to worry about it and stay healthy, although I'm always hungry just now!

Know what you mean, this pregnancy couldnt be more different for me too, strange how your body can react so differently!
