Thats nothing hun dont worry about it, just rest assured you havent put on as much as me! lol Im just comming up 27 weeks and put on just under 2 stone!
Doesnt worry me either as I just see it as fat stores for my breast milk production! all nicley positioned around bum/hips for added comfort when sitting down! lol
Were all different and pregnancy will affect us in different ways, some people hardly gain any weight others do.

Oh girls, I love these threads - it makes me feel a whole lot better. I've put on about 20lbs so far and I'm only 19 weeks!

It doesn't help that at the moment all I'm seeing are very slim pregnant women with just a neat little football at the front or is it that I'm not just seeing any others...? (No offense to those who don't put on much weight btw I'm just really envious!)

Oh well, it's all worth it in the end and I'll get that exercise bike back out in a few months time...

I am dreading the scales on Thurs at the MW as I reckon I have gained about 6 pound! dont worry 13 pound at 21 weeks is not alot and if you gain 7 more pound thats still under/borderline average for weight gain xx

I'm 20 weeks and I've put on a stone too! It's all gone on the boobs, waist and belly, but I've lost weight in some areas like legs and arms so I'm not that worried. Just hope I don't gain another 20lbs over the next 20 weeks as it's supposed to be about a pound a week isn't it?!

Its alright Melbo. Gaining 10 lbs per trimester is healthy if you werent overweight when you started. You're doing fine

Don't worry about a thing- I think us ladies lose sight of the fact that we are using our bodies as a vehicle! I use this calculator just to keep on eye on my BMI. And remember- we are all beautiful creatures-- big or small!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive gained 4 stone in total this pregnancy!! So i wouldnt worry to much. But im still in a size 10....so alot must be water (wishful thinking ) and i tried on a pair of size 10 jeans (non-maternity) the other day and i could get them on just not do the button up....

As long as your eating as healthy as you can (that doesnt mean dont eat crap ) then you'll be fine XxxX

I've read in a few places that the average weight gain during pregnancy is 25-35 lbs.
Wanna see the break down? This is for 27 lbs, but it will give you a decent idea of where the weight is going.
Breasts-1 lb
Blood-3 1/2 lbs (I know, hey? No wonder LO's heart beats so fast)
Baby 7 1/2 lbs
Placenta- 1 1/2 lbs
Amniotic Fluid - 2 lbs
Uterus - 2 lbs
fat reserves 7 lbs
Maternal fluids - 3 1/2 lbs.
These are of course averages, and not set in stone, but I find it helpful to look at when I am feeling fat.
