not putting on any wieght...

[rene70]

hi everyone
not sure what to think of this, im the same wieght i was before i fell pregnant and at 29wks 3days still the same wieght i questioned the midwife about it last wk at 28wk checkup she said thier concern is that baby is growing fine and she is so to try not to worry but that makes me worry wouldnt u agree when they say dont worry we always do, not got another checkup til 34wks which seems a lifetime away, im on thyroxine 100 which i know ppl can lose wieght whilst taking but noone has told me of any effects it might have on bambino, do u think i should maybe make an appt for doc ?

Hi

I have only just started to notice a gain in weight myself, only a few weeks ago I hadn't even put on half a stone, now at 37 weeks its just about a stone (although I think I did overdo the chocs over xmas!). Oh and every one keeps commenting on how small I look and I want to hit them!

I notice your on thyroxine, I'm on 50/75mcg on alternate days. I can totally understand when the MW says not to worry and then that makes you worry even more, however as long as they are happy with LO's growth etc try not to worry. To put your mind at rest you could always go and see the docs, no harm there. Are you under consultant care to monitor your thyroid?

I am still 2 kgs lighter than pre-pregnancy hun and if it wasn't for the fact I have high BP and am having growth scans I would be worrying. If you are worried make a docs appt it won't hurt and if you are still worried speak to your doc and your mw about a growth scan worst they can say is no

Ive hardly put on any weight either, weighed myself just the other day after not for over a month and i'd only put on 2 lbs in 30+ days. I lost loads of wieght in the the first trimester and have gradually put back on now but not really much over my pre pregnancy weight.

I think as they say as longs as LO is measuring ok (not that i think it's particularly accurate when they measure you, but as long as its generally increasing at the right rate) then all is ok. Baby will take whatever it needs over you, so you could actually be losing weight on your body but baby is putting on weight normally meaning little or no overall weight gain!

I put on a grand total of 8lbs when pregnant this time! When she was born I weighed half a stone lighter than pre pregnancy! I must have been losing my weight while gaining her weight kwim?
Im also on Thyroxine (200mg) and have been through 3 of my pregnancies and its never had any affect on the children so dont worry hun! (oh and thyroxine has never made me lose any weight unfortunately lol)
