Weight Gain, what is normal?

[tiggerstacy]

Hi,

I am just wondering what sort of weight gain is normal, I am just over 27 weeks but have already put a stone on, that seems quite a lot to me, not that I look like I have put weight on but how much is too much?

2 ans a half to 3 stone is about average in pregnancy.
some put on more some less. who cares!

I put on 4 stone. Was a right greedy pig. Lol.

lost it all by the time Kate was 6 months old though. Incidently, I lost 2 stone giving birth, she was 9lbs and the placenta was huuuuge!

There's hope for me yet then - I've put on 4 stone . My theory goes like this; nearly a stone is baby and placenta. A stone is extra blood, fluid retention and amniotice fluid. A stone is boobs and breastfeeding fat. A stone is pure chocolate .

Unfortunately for me I have always been extremely fit and sporty, exercising every day, and that hasn't really happened as much throughout my pregnancy. I compete with my horse at national level, and clearly the type of workout that involves training a horse over 4 ft fences and on the gallops is not advised, and my friend (and stable yard manager) wouldn't let me even muck out, which is also good exercise.

I reckon it'll drop off steadily when I get back into my riding again - and how quickly that happens depends on how baby chooses to make her entrance into the world! (PS I already have the pony for baby )
