    how much weight have you/did you put on?

    when i was weighed at 8 weeks and then 12/14 id lost half a kg (woohoo! lol)..
    then at my next appt i think i was weighed and id put on 5 kgs so i was around the 20 week mark..
    i didnt feel like id put on any weight, as my clothes still fit me like normal!! im blaming easter/chocolate

    now im 24 weeks my appt is today and i so curious to see what i weigh now!
    my clothes still fit, just a bit tight around the tummy, which i just push them down low and wear a belly band thing! i feel and look like im all belly..

    how much weight have you/did you put on?

    OK I'm not the best example. I hadn't put on ANY weight until I was past 20 weeks....

    ...and then I put on 36kilos.

    Don't do that... it should be easy enough so long as you don't eat an entire jar of nutella every couple of days Keep a healthy diet for yourself, plus an additional small meal if you need it, and continue with some movement (some call it exercise, I probably would've been fine had I have moved at all). Don't think of the weight... think of the nutrients for you and bubs x

    I've gained 20kgs so far and I'm hoping not to gain too much more although I have steadily gained the whole time and show no signs of slowing down!!!! Eek!

    I put on 22 kilos all up, most of it came on in the last trimester. It was all belly & baby, I ate healthy and exercised throughout all my pregnancy. 2 weeks after birth I'd lost over half of it, a month later it was all gone ^^ So if your keeping a healthy diet & are doing a bit of exercise, I wouldnt overly stress about the numbers

    With Moo I put on about 30kg. He was 9lb & I had soooo much fluid

    This time around I'll have less of an idea as I haven't weighed myself in months.

    Since my first ob weigh in I have put on 18.5kg (around 9 weeks), but it is 23kg since just before I got pg.
    The ob isn't concerned. It is hard not to worry about the numbers, even though I don't feel overly huge and I know that the weight comes off fairly easily after I have the bubs. I put on 27kg with DS1, only 15kg with DS2. Both times the weight was completely gone around 3 months post baby.

    I put on 10kg all up with DD but only from 20-38 weeks (thanks to months of nausea).

    I'm almost 9 weeks this time and I haven't gained any weight yet but I'm pretty sick again

    I was very lucky as with both my pregnancies as I was all baby and never put weigh on my body.

    With DD I out on 6kg's and with the twins I put on 11kg's. I walked out of hospital with DD being lighter than I was pre pregnancy and I weigh myself yesterday - twins 11 days old - and I am also weighing less than I was before I was pregnant with them.

    So far I've lost 2kg. But my Dr doesn't want me to put any on at all, in fact he says he'd be quite happy if I lost a bit during this pregnancy (I am unfortunately quite overweight at present).

    With DD I put on a total of 9kg and lost it all pretty quickly, so I'm hopeful that I'll be ok this time around.

    I put on all up about 6kgs but most of that was in the first tri b/c I just ate whatever I wanted. I then got sensible and must have lost some or stayed the same.

    With Ds i put on 10kgs all up from about 16 weeks to 38 weeks and lost it all straight away breastfeeding He was just under 3kg worth..

    this time 53kg to start with , and am now 60 i think? So probably will be about the same
