Weight gain?

[Cati]

Hello!
A bit concerned about my weight gain
At the start of my pregnancy I was 140lbs, but now at 23 + 5 I'm still only 143lbs

What is normal in regards to weight gain?

At the start of my pregnancy I was 173lbs, I'm now 25 weeks and weigh 175lbs.

With my daughter, I started off at 183lbs, and the day before she was born I weighed 197lbs. I put on most of it in the third trimester, mainly the last few weeks.

I refuse to weigh myself in this pregnancy as I never lost weight from my first pregnancy so I'm just accepting I'm overweight and I'll deal with it in the new year!

With my first though I didn't put on any weight until the third trimester when I went insane eating, having thought I was invincible! I put on 2 stone in the end x

Although I'm eating fine I keep on feeling like "oh I'll just have a bit extra" or "I'll have an extra snack" and I'm half worried why nothing is being gained and what if it all piles on in the next few weeks haha

This is my second pregnancy and I'm 21 weeks and only put on 6lb, I've noticed Im not at all hungry at tea time though and really dont want to eat

My weight stayed relatively constant throughout my first trimester, but I've put on half a stone in the last 6 weeks! It's hard when the nausea is still lingering and I find myself snacking in the moments when it eases but think I just need to make sure I have healthier snacks to hand. I've been inputting my weight into the Ovia app and according to that I'm still under what I should be at this point though

Hey Cati,

I really wouldn't worry, you're one of the lucky ones!

I started out at 8 stone 4lbs and am now 13 weeks pregnant and I've put on about 9lbs already! Like, what the!!!

Dreading the rest due to what else I may pile on! If you can stay similar then good on you! I think a bit of weight gain is normal. I know I've gained a bit because I've been eating the wrong kinds of food x

This has just made me realise that I literally only weighed myself at my booking in appt and not again till I went into labour during my first pregnancy. I had put on 2 stone but no idea when! Wouldn't worry about it- they'll keep an eye on your bump and send you for growth scans if they have any concerns. It's not really about weight, more about baby growing. Weight could be you, baby or a load of fluid, which is why they focus on the bump. I'm sure you'll be fine xx
