How much weight gain is right?

Laurn82 · Nov 9th, 2009, 09:39 AM

Ok, i know its kinda like how long is a piece of string but i just mean roughly. I weighed myself yesterday (first time since about 12 weeks) and i have gained 21 pounds. That seems like an awful lot! The mw said at my 24 week appointment that i had a lot of fluid surrounding baby, could that weigh a lot? I am scared now that i will put on the same again in the next 12 weeks and i'll be the size of a house when my little princess evetually arrives! Is there a safe way to reduce your weight whilst pregnant? I know you shouldn't 'diet' or do strenuous exercise. Or is this quite normal?
My body is completely different now from when i had my ds 8 years ago, i was a size 6 when i fell pregnant with him and was in 10-12 clothing full term! This time i started at the 10-12 mark! xxx

they say about 2 stone but the less you weighed to begin with the more you will gain. Unless you are growing two lol but I wont got there as I am on 2.5 stone already BOOOOOO

I've put on about 12kgs... so I *think* thats about 25pound, and was already a size 18/20 to begin with, prob put on more then I should have but I go through patches, dont' put on anything for ages and then a couple of kilos in 2wks, then nothing again for 2 or 3 wks.
None of my Dr's have mentioned it in the slightest so I'm not toooo worried.

so far i have put on 12 lbs between pregregnancy (weighed 8st 2lbs) and now at 30+2 (weigh 9st) - i'm worrying i'm not putting enough weight on!!! i don't think i have much fluid around bubs as my bump is solid and wherever i prod all i can feel is baby (poor thing!) - midwife doesn't eem concerned though.

everyone is different hun xxx

ETA: just been to that link - apparently i am meant to gain 2st2 altogether!!! a fair way to go yet.....
