weight????

[annie4]

i have just weighed myself today and i have gained about 1stone (14lbs) I am only 24weeks - is this normal or far too much??

I've gained nearly 2 stone and i'm 28 weeks!!
I was under weight before I fell pregnant so i'm sure it's ok that I've put on a bit but I don't know what's normal

I'd gained 1.5 stone by 30 weeks.
I think your right on "normal", don't panic!
Anything from 1-4 stone is 'normal' so your doing just fine!!

Remember as a rough guide:

Placenta = 1-2lbs in weight
Amniotic Fluid = 2lbs
Uterus = 2lbs
Additional Blood = 3-4lbs
Other fluids, fats and tissues - 10lbs
Baby will weight roughly 7lbs

I was also told in antenatal on Wednesday night that mum will gain about 7lbs in fat spread evenly all over her body to aid the first 1-3 days of breastfeeding after the birth as the milk can take that long to come in properly.

Ive been watching my weight and only gained a stone and im 31 weeks, but with last baby gained 6.
Theres no right or worng.

You are perfectly normal! I have gained 1.5 stone. Midwife says I am fine and 2 stone is an average overall weight gain. I gained over 5 stone with my first pregnancy, so this time I am trying to keep it under control. I wouldn't worry about it just eat healthy and keep active!

I've gained 1.5 stone so far. I'm not doing any exercise because of the SPD and I figure if I put on a lot it will soon come off after the birth when I'm mobile again.

I am 15 weeks and have been quite confused about my weight since becoming pregnant. I don't think that I have put on any weight yet(according to the scales) but most of my clothes are too tight now and people seem to be mentioning that I am starting to fill out. Even DH say's I am looking a lot bigger all over than usual........Strange. xxx

 

[annie4]

thanks for all your replies - ok i'm not freaking just as much now - i just don't want to end up like mr blobby afterwards

I think its strange I was 71 k at 9 weeks and still 71k at nearly 18 weeks!! Think i must be losing weight and gaining baby weight.....does that make sense??

 

[emska101]

no that's what happened to me, because I lost half a stone in the first trimester with sickness, general pregnancy energy use, and quitting the beer! I'm now 20 weeks and I am only 2 pounds over where I started.

I've been really lucky because so far I've only craved fruit, and gone off sweet stuff. I am sure that will all change soon though.

[Snuggle]

I've put on 1 stone 8 pounds so far but to be honest I dont care one bit as all I'm bothered about is baby being healthy and I will deal with my old, fat, saggy body afterwards
