weight gain

[Lauz_1601]

Im just gone 13 weeks and a little concerned that I haven't put any weight on yet. My tummy is a little bigger, but nothing noticable, and on the scales I haven't gained any weight. How much weight, if any, should I have gained in the first trimester. Also does the 2nd tri start at 13 or 14 weeks coz Iv read different things.

I have put on about 4lb so far, but everyone is different. Some people lose weight during the first trimester. Have you been suffering badly from morning sickness?

Just be grateful, thats all I can say, you are lucky.

I put on 4 stone with my last......that was 4 years ago and I am still trying to shift it!!!!

I think the average weight gain in the 1st trimester is 2-4 lbs...But as Rosieroo said some people are so sick they lose weight...I lost 4 then put on 3...Then I had no weight gain at all until 2 weeks ago...I have gained 7 lbs total so far...I was concerned about 7 lbs being too little for being 21 weeks but my dr isnt concerned so I have decided not to worry about it either...

I am 26wks and i have already put on a whole stone! is that right anyone? don't you worry hun that will soon happen just you keep eating naughty but nice things

 

[Pansy]

Not to sound stupid but how many lbs is in a stone?

 

[joan]

A stone is 14lbs.

And for anyone who happens to be using a measuring system that is as recent as the 18th century , that's around 6.4kg.

Alsha, my ticker is slightly out and were about the same about along and have gained exactly one stone.

Thank you joan, you have just answered the question I had last night. My pregnancy book says that the average weight gain by 27 weeks is 8-10kg and I didn't know how many lbs are in a kg. Knowing that I now feel rather happy as Im about right!
Hurrah, not as much of a blimp as I thought!

Hi

I'm just about 14 weeks and have had no weight gain. In fact - I've lost 8 lbs. Spoke to a specialist - not to worry - said that one should only gain about 6-8 lbs in first 20 weeks. I'm healthy, baby is great and full of beans. The weight I have lost was extra weight anyway. I'm not a big person, but glad to be rid of those few pounds - mainly due to my extreme nausea which is still pestering me. Eating, but with difficulty!!!
Good luck and don't worry
Kind Regards
Emilia

Cat, my first due date was 2nd October but when i went for my 20wk scan they said 30th September oh well not much in it ,it will come when it wants anyway. So when do you think you are due then?

 

[Lauz_1601]

I have only been sick the once, but I have had nausea and less of an appetite, which I am sarting to get back now, so I think i might start toput the wright on over the next few weeks, and will balloon out!

I've put on about 5lb already! Ahhhhhhhh! Did not get morning sickness and have a picky appertite! *shrugs* I'm 13 wks and my scan said the baby was a week ahead, and I have a belly, but I did lose some weight before I got Pregnant and not put it all back on yet so not too bothered, don't look too fat yet!

I've put on more than 1 and a half stone and am only 23 weeks!!!!! Saw my midwife this morning so mentioned this to her as I was a little worried, but she's not concerned - I gave up smoking in January so was possibly a little underweight to begin with, and I think I would have put on at least half a stone anyway if I hadn't fallen pregnant as you do when you give up smoking. I've filled out a little but am not looking tubbier around the arms/legs/face or anything.

Anyway it goes to show - everyone is different!!!
