Weight Gain,

[Heatherb]

Hi everyone,

I am after some reassurance really. I have been charting my weight each week, and put on quite a lot in the 1st tri, so I have been over the recommended for quite a while.

Today I weighed myself and have put on 4lb in one week!! I have now put on 1st 6lb!!! I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow.

Someone please tell me that they are the same. I have tried to be good this week, but still end up eating junk.

I put on over 4.5 st with dd, and this time I really wanted to be slim whilst pg. I had only just got back to my pre-dd weight when I got pg again.

Just a moan really.

I dernt jump on the scales

I have no quarms about the weight i put on,it's for a good cause.

Im not exactly like you cos I didnt put on any weight at all for the first 18-19 weeks despite having a bump.

Anyway, since about week 19 I've put on around 6lb and its cos my appetite has increased so much! Honestly, I just sit here eating all day

With my son (who's almost 4) I put on about 3 stone and I desperately want to avoid doing the same this time but I think its a lost cause

They say prevention is better than cure but if Im gonna put on weight then thats just how it is, Id rather put on weight and have a healthy baby than try and diet while pregnant.

I'll just have to be really strict with myself after he's born so that I get a half decent figure back

I've only weighed myself a couple of times since i got pregnant.

I don't even know what i should weigh by now. And i'm not really bothered. As long as baby is getting what he needs i'm not fussing about my weight

Love Laura

Hi

There is no actual amount you should have gained by now, although some doctors say different. In one pregnancy book i have it says by my stage a 8-14 pound wieght gain is normal so it sounds like your is int he quite normal range. Out here they weigh you at every prenatal appointment so i wont know till tuesday . Just eat helathy and try not to worry about weight so much till after baby is born.
