sammie18 · Aug 27th, 2008, 14:44 PM

Ok well Im curious on how much weight I should have put on already? Im 17wks now. The reason im asking is cause in first tri I lost 12lbs cause of morning sickness, Well I had my first midwife appointment on august 7th and I was 14wks then, They checked my weight and it was 181lbs.. Ok well today im 17wks I checked my weight and still havnt gained nothing im still 181lbs, I go in for my second midwife appointment on september 5th. I dont want then thinking im not eatting or somthing cause im trying to eat more to gain weight its just not happening. How much should I gain every month? Im in month 4 now and nothing.

I dont think i really put much on in the begining at all, didnt think you were meant to be really until 29 weeks

but tbh i think that its different for everyone some people put on no weight at all and others put on like 3 stone.... i refuse to weigh myself now as its going on too fast

I think in total 20-30lb is about right

Here are some good guidlines:

I am 5'3 and I started out at 129lbs pre-pregnancy. Im almost 31weeks and im still only 138lbs... Everyone is different though. I didnt start putting on weight until after 20weeks.

If you've started out at 181lbs (and assuming you're not 6 feet tall...LOL), then I guess you're around the same BMI as I am. In that case, you don't need to gain too much weight during pregnancy....probably a max of 15 lbs.

Up to 30 weeks i had only gained a few lbs now it just piles on....So i would watch what you wish for lol XxxX

Weight gain really varies from person to person. I didn't gain any weight in first trimester but from week 16-20 or so I put on 10 pounds in one month

After that my weight gain evened out though and I only put on 25 or so pounds (9 pounds of which was baby

)

They don't really watch your weight now during pregnancy so it's hard so say how much, not only that everyone is different.

Like you I lost a stone in the begining due to morning sickness which I have no regained, but at 30 weeks at the moment I am not 1lb over the weight I started. But as Ema said, we must be careful what we wish for. x x
