Wieght Gain

[Charliebump3]

Hi ladies

Sorry this is a boring post!

I was wondering how much weight I should be gaining! I am 32 weeks and for the past few weeks iv not gained any weight at all. I saw the midwife last week who measured my tummy but she didn't plot the fonda hight on my chart but she didn't say she was worried either!

So far I have gained 12lb (after losing half a stone in tri 1) and every website I read says 0.5lb to 1lb a week! Baby is moving and seems very happy. I think I might be worring over nothing! I'm on bed rest for PGP so I have much to much time on my hands to think!

I've gained 13kg (so pretty much 2 stone). With my first I put on 2.5 stone so I'm on track based on that lol x

I've been weighed today and I've gained just under two stone in total. I put on over three stone with my first so I'm happy.

I'm 40+5 and have gained 23lbs. I guess it's one of those "everyone's different" situations. Are you eating plenty/ healthily? If yes then I'm sure all is fine

I still refuse to weigh myself so unless the mw does at some point I'll have no idea. I'd obsess otherwise. Sorry not much help, sure midwife would say if any concerns when measuring though x

I didn't weight myself through the pregnancy, but got weighed at my last appointment. I've put on 12 kgs.

Actually no idea where it all is at, as I'm pretty much all bump (which is measuring bang on!)

If you're eating healthily and enough, I wouldn't really worry about it. If you are worried, then speak to your mw

Last we checked I had put on 12lbs - Which I was pretty surprised at as I feel huge and I always seem to be grazing.

I put on around 3 stone with my first and was worried I'd do the same again (especially as I still hadn't lost the majority of it - even after 8years!) so have been healthier in my food choices.

Pismo, that's quite interesting.... I've put on a fair bit, but I don't feel huge at all! I'm so surprised at that!!! People keep commenting on how "neat" my bump is....errrrm, so where's all that weight gone?

At first I was like woooowww I've gained it so quickly but for the past 4 weeks I've maintained at 2st 4lbs and havent eaten more than normal so I'm assumin im going to stick around this Mark until the last 4 weeks x

A few people at work commented that I looked like I have lost weight around my face and upper body! I also tried on a pair of pre pregnancy jeggings last night and the fit all except the bump.

I don't think I am eating enough. Hubby keeps telling me to eat more! The morning sickness has made an unwelcome return which means I am struggling to keep things down! I am eating healthy food little and often but if I eat too much then im sick! I will speak to my mw and see if she has any concerns! I wish she documented the bump measurements so I can see that everything is fine!

Im such a worry wart at the moment!

I really don't think it matters! I gained 3 stone this pregnancy... I still worked out and ate healthy but I think it was just due to having a low BMI and BF% pre pregnancy so my body stored fat uncontrollably... Luckily 22lbs was lost the first week PP!

I think unless your midwife or doctor specifies any concerns, I really wouldn't worry! Honest!

I gained about 12lb in total (baby now 2 months old) & baby was a very healthy 6lb 6oz. As long as you are eating if you are hungry I wouldn't worry, everyone is different and they need to give guidelines of some sort. Speak to hour midwife if you are worried though.
