I am currently about 30 weeks pregnnat and have gained about 6 and half kilos so far but the thing is that before i got pregnant i did a fresh cycle IVF/ ICSI and i gained 4 kg because of that.
so thats 10 kg all up
i was already overweight and i am concerned about how big i will get in the last 8 weeks or so. i usually have big babies and go early also ( 2 or 3 weeks)
I gained 14 kg with DS1
16 kg with DS 2
and 19 kg with DS 3
so i know what i have gained is not too bad but i started a LOT bigger this time and i am only 3 kg off the weigt i was hen i had DS 3 ?!
i feel so FAT and discusting but people keep telling me i look like i've lost size. except tummy and bust that is. LOL
I don't want to be an obese mum
The Birth centre said i can go up to 108 before i am over BMI of 35 which is just TOO FAT to have baby at birth centre
I am about 96 kg at the moment. so i have 12 kg to go before get TOO FAT. which is not likely to happen in 8 weeks .
Your gains sound totally normal I lost weight in the first and second tri, and then put it all back on and then some in the third tri. I gained 13kg from my pre preg weight.
A book I have says 'normal' weight gain is anywhere from 8-20kg with the average being 12. From what I remember I didn't gain as much in the final few weeks so I wouldn't worry at all. Your really haven't gained much at all.
I am short and pre baby was around 60 -65 kgs - with DD I put on 15kgs and with DS I put on 20 kgs. Don't forget that that is also baby (4.560kgs of baby for DS!!) and then fluid etc. I lost all my baby weigh within 2 weeks of having mine although everything seemed to change position on my body!
It sounds to me like a normal gain, but if you are worried I guess all you can do is make sure you eating healthy, sensible food most of the time ( i say most because I craved maccas and nothing was keeping me from those golden arches while pg). xoxox
I gained 30kg. Go me. I didn't eat well AT ALL in the last trimester, I've lost 26kg, but I've done a fair bit of toning so despite being 4kg off pre-preg I fit into pre-preg clothes (cept the boobs!).
I gained about 5.5kg, but I was on the bigger side to begin with, so I was conscious of not putting on too much, then found out I had gestational diabetes so had to restrict my diet even more.
Since DD was born 7 weeks ago I've lost 13kg and am the lightest I've been in 4 years, despite eating 24/7 due to breastfeeding hunger!
Bottom line is don't let it worry you too much, just enjoy being pregnant and the rest will sort itself out later!
I was 58kg before I fell Preg with dd and got up to 80kg, gosh typing that sounds crazy but I did. 22kgs! I ate well too and not heaps because I was sick all the time. I'm now down to 61kg.
AFM: well i have had a cold and now i have lost half kilo !!
the midwife growled at me and this was before the loss for not gaining enough ?? what ?? and said that the reason i am getting low BP and feeling sick etc is cause i have NOT gained enough ?
i am so so over it. i am on so many vitamins and supplements to help baby ( all approved thru naturopath) Iron, due to low iron, Calcium due to the fact that milk and milk products are making me sick ?. preg vitamin, omega 3 and now kelp to help my low BP and even some licorice in small quantities to help low BP also.
it is so frustrating. i am trying to do my best and not dieting but i still get into trouble, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
BABY weight, whats accetable or normal ?
but the thing is that before i got pregnant i did a fresh cycle IVF/ ICSI and i gained 4 kg because of that.
