Weight Gain !!

Tinylo · Mar 4th, 2008, 14:18 PM

Hello girlies,

Hope your all enjoying being in 2nd Tri, I'm sooo pleased to be here.

I'm 16 wks - nearly - and I've already put on half a stone and am now up to 10st

I'm trying really hard to eat healthy, not binge on junk food

and go walking/swimming 3 times a week but the weight keeps on coming.

Hope you don't mind me asking but I'm just wondering how much weight is the average that people have started to put on.

I think they told me 2-3 pounds in the first trimester and than 2 pounds a month in second? Not positive though. I haven't gained any weight yet, (that I know of I go in tomorrow to be checked) but I wasn't skinny to begin with so I'm not really surprised that I hadn't gained any at the last appt.

weigh gain is different from person to person.

It depends on whether you were slim to start with or a bigger person. Slimmer people tend to put on more weight and often larger ladies lose weight in the first trimester and put on weight slower than slim people.

If you're slim your body is supposed to deposit more fat to make you a healthy weight.. this doesn't mean that you'll look fat.

I have put on about 1 stone since i fell pregnant but my BMI is still within the 'healthy' range.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though, your baby needs it :-)

I find it hard to eat healthy because i get so damned hungry... but baby distracts me from feeling so frumpy... i try to focus on the little prize at the end... sort the weight later...

i was last weighed at 17 weeks. i'd gained 12 lbs / 5.5 kilos. I'm 5 foot 6ish.
doc said it was fine. maybe a pound or two too much but i wont worry. i eat when hungry.

Hmmm

I have lost a stone since i got pg due to sickness and lack of appetite. But think i will start to put it back on now as i have just stopped feeling sick.

I was not over weight before i got pg but i was at the top of my healthy BMI.

Just hope i dont pile on to much extra weight.

I've put on just over a stone now, about 15 pounds and I'm nearly 26 weeks pregnant. Doctor hasn't seemed concerned at all about it. I just don't want to gain more than 2 stone altogether.

I've lost 25lbs and only put 4 back on.
