I cannot believe I have already put on 2 stone!!! before I found out I was pregnant i was probably carrying 7-14 lbs too much after my summer holiday and a holiday to florida (not good for diets)
At 16 weeks my midwife referred me due to my size!!
Gyna took one look at me and just lectured me on sweet tooth and excercise!!
To anyone who knows me knows I could probably tell you the calories in almost any day to day food!!
And excercise?!? I love spinning (at the gym on bikes not in a field somewhere) and my legs really benefitted from it!! however on finding out I was pregnant stopped spinning as hard and then eventually stopped all together!! But I still use the gym at least twice a week!! And to top it off work in a restaurant on my feet for 30-40 hours a week!!
I really dont want to put on much more!! im thinking to go back to my diet ways and keeping a food journal!! Maybe I am really overeating!!
I cannot wait until she is born so I can get my figure back!! I feel so uncomfortable already!!
I am 3 and half stone heavier than a holiday i went on in 2006!!!
Anyone else putting on way too much?!?!
22 weeks and put on 23 lbs. This is also 10 lbs. heavier than I was at this stage with my other pregnancies. I've not been eating much more than I did pre pregnancy and I don't have cravings so rarely eat junk food.
I brought it up with my doctor and he said that it could be due to a lot of water too.
The weight gain is the toughest while pregnant.
If you do have a sweet tooth, try and find something else that will replace the desire for it.
I've put on 25 lbs in total so far, I'm not sure what 'stone' stands for though, it's confusing my Canadian brain! I keep forgetting nobody on here is from Canada.
a stone is 14 lbs....
So im on nearly 28lbs at 23 weeks!!!
Im going to start to have more control as from today!!! I dont want to have to battle with like 4 stone once I give birth.... i think it woud put me very very low!!!
I put on 56 lb (4 st) with my first son but i think that was purely down to not knowing anything and being a lazy greedymare lol i really struggled to get it off but joined a gym and stuck at it 4 times a week, You'll be amazed how much you lose without even trying when you've got your baby!
Before my first child i was something like a uk size 10, but i put on about 3 stone in first pregnancy, cos my children are only 18 months apart and now on fourth i didnt have much time to loose the pregnancy weight (if that is any sort of excuse).
Now i am a size uk 20 and dealing with this really badly, in this pregnancy i seem to have not put on that much i would say about 10 lbs so far but i lost about 7 lbs at beginning cos sickness was so bad.
After this babs i have really got to try and loose some weight as i already have high blood pressure and fear for my health.
Hope you are not like me and craving for every sweet thing in sight.
