Weight :-(

[Geminiblue]

can anyone reassure me this is normal....

On my first pregnancy I put on about 3st more or less coz I felt sick if I went more than an hour without eating...

This time i have to be careful what I eat I just dont generally fancy much to eat...then realised Ive put on about a stone already and Im only 20 weeks!!!

Now I know Im pregnant and it shouldnt matter but what have you girls put on so far? Am I completely a fat moo moo???

I am overweight a bit to begin with so I am trying to only gain about 20 lbs the whole pregnancy (if possible!). So far I have put on about 3 lbs at 14 weeks in. As long as you are eating well and watching your salt you should be okay. I would only worry if my midwife was getting worried!

oh wow thats good. Thanks hun, sorry I know Im being a fanny about it and shouldnt care as I am just lucky to be pregnant

I've put on about half a stone so far, hoping total weight gain won't be more than 2 stone but who knows!

Everyone is totally different hun, don't worry about it!!

I worked out today that I've put on about 2.6kgs (5lbs) so far. In my last pregnancy I put on about 2 stone in total. I was about a stone heavier this time to start off with so I'm hoping I wont put on so much by the end!!

Last time I put on 4 1/2 stone! This time I lost a stone through the constant nausea in tri 1, I've put about 6lbs of it back on so far, can't stop eating now so prob end up piling it on again lol!

ok drama over, I weight myself this morning and actually Ive put on about 5kg which is about 10lb. I had weighed myself last night in full clothes at the end of the a working day...I eat more at work as I am on my feet all day....but i had a big poo ha ha ha and weighed myself naked this morning and thank god phew I was getting worried I was going in the same direction as last time...especially a this time I feel no need to keep eating thanks girls for support xxx

ive put on about 9lb in the last week as i had hyperemisis to begin with so uptill 16 weeks i actually dropped to 8st since then ive gone back upto 9st and just hit 22 weeks. the midwife will let you know if she has any concerns xx

It makes a huge difference when you are naked, "empty", and weighing first thing in the morning! Glad you are not as worried now

Ive gained a stone and a half so far.. but tbh i think most of it is my boobs lol.. gone from 32B to 36EE so far.. still growing!!
My first pregnancy i didnt keep track and my second i stopped weighing at 8 months as it was upsetting me lol i had put on 4 stone at that point..
As long as your midwife is happy with the weight gain then theres nothing to worry about. Extra fluid etc doesnt help the weight.. my arms and face puff out when im preg too
Oh the joys!! lol
