Weight Gain at 20 weeks

[Jaidy]

What is normal to have put on weight wise by 20 weeks?

I weighed myself today in Boots and have put on 10lb, sounds loads although thought it would be much more!!

This is the equivalent to about 2lb per month so far.....

I read that by about 18/19 weeks you should have put on 6-10lbs so far so I think you're probably about right

Sounds alright to me!

Weighed myself this morning and I've put on 18lb! Will be 26 weeks on Sunday. I wish it was less but I think its about right.

Edited my post because just found this info:

The average weight gain during pregnancy is 9kg to 13.5kg (20-30lbs). In the first 12 weeks, most women don't gain much, if any, weight; by 20 weeks they've put on 25% of their total weight gain; by 30 weeks another 25%; and the remainder in the last 10 weeks.

Think it depends if you were overweight, underweight or normal before pregnancy. I was normal and have put on 10lbs as well hun, im sure that's normal.

I built up the courage to weigh myself today and yes have put on exactly 10lb too so we're all in the same boat honey

I have actually lost weight, about 15lbs since finding out i was pregnant. That was mainlt due to me having HP from weeks 7-14. I really need to watch my weight as i'm already overweight. I think i will start putting on soon as my apeptite is coming back

This makes me feel loads better so thanks!!!!!

I was 'normal' weight (whatever normal is?!!) before becoming pregnant so im guessing this is the right amount of weight to be gaining....havent been eating especially healthy mind you!

Jaidy I was classified as "normal" weight aswell before pregnancy 5ft 8", 9 stone 6lb and size 10 and 10lb is the average amount of weight we should have put on by 20 weeks . Mind you, have been eating really badly since december, went out to pizza express with my girlfriend tonight, had garlic bread with mozzerella to start, huge bowl of pasta for main and then a chocolate fudge brownie sundae to finish off

Am such a pig but love that I don't feel bloated even after eating all that food!
