I know this is quite a personal question, but how much weight have you gained so far?

I'm really shocked, I gain weight very easily and have really struggled over the the years with my size, but surprisingly I've only gained 6lb in nearly 22 weeks. Most of my books say that a healthy amount is about a stone by now, and 25-35lb in total, so I'm quite shocked at my gain. I'm pleased in a way because when it comes to delivery, the smaller the better but I don't want the baby to be unhealthily small. Trust me I eat a fair bit, but I wonder whether I'm eating all the wrong things (ie my indulgence's) and not enough of the good stuff.

How are you all doing? i know every pregnancy is different, but it always helps when you know someone else is doing the same or similar

Thanks, Naimi xx

Hi hun,

Im obbessing about my weight gain too lol last time i weighed myself, which i think was sometime last week, i had put on 7lbs, i am eating like mad and its all sweet fatty things, not healthy atall!

I will weight myself again later ( i got to the chemist) and let you know, im sure i would of put on more by now, i certainly feel alot more flabby around my hips than last week.

I have to be careful coz i was overweight to start with, i read that i can only put on around 15lbs, so i think i will prob go over that

I'm defo a stone + but put on weight easy but think I may have stopped for now & awaiting the big change in one go on that score lol

Hi ladies, I was worrying about my weight as well. In my first trimester I lost weight and now that I am in my second trimester I have only gained about 4-5lbs to date. Part of me is hoping my weight gain is minimal to make the pregnancy easier and also "recovery" easier, but at the same time I worry that I'm not gaining enough.

But then again I figure if the doctors were very concerned they would have said something by now, and I'm sure yours would have too.

P.S. I found this chart while searching online for weight gain averages.

Ok well ive just weighed myself and i think ive put on roughly 2lb !!!!!! wtf!! im 8stone 6 at the mo im pretty sure i was 8 . 4 before or maybe it was 8 . 2?! hmmm i dunno now !mind you i havent had tea yet so that will add another few pounds lmao !!

My surgent told me I should only gain5-10lbs the whole pregnancy because Im overweight, scares me because I was 9lbs 13 oz and my DH was 9lbs. I havent gained anything yet, so Im crossing my fingers!

well so far at almost 17 weeks I have been fluctuating. My last weigh in at the doctors on sept.5 was 140 so that was a 5lb gain from the appt before.I weighed myself this morning and im about 134-135..... so I dont know where its going LOL I do feel a little bit small for 16 weeks but the doctor said that its fine. Im trying to eat more but I can only eat what my body wants. But im not complaining LOL
