I put on 9kg's with both of my pg's. With my first I didn't dtart to stack it on til about 16wks, then it came at about a kg a month til the 3rd tri when it was more like 1 kg a fortnight. I wouldn't be worried yet.
With my first bub I didn't feel it move til I was about 17wks pg, so I wouldn't really worry about not feeling bubs move yet either. Good luck and I wish you a happy and healthy pg!
Thanks lilias. I wouldn't worry , but people are commenting and it kinda makes me very conscious. But people are people, hey? I hope you are right. I have a very small frame so maybe that contributes to it.
I lost a few kgs with DD1 in the first tri. Put on 10 kgs through the whole pg.
Lost 10 kgs in first tri with DD2. from pre preg weight only put on 4 kgs, from lowest weight put on 14kgs.
Lost maybe 1 kg in first tri with DS. Put on around 10 kgs. I wasn't weighed by any Drs during that pg though. Just at home when I thought of it.
Don't worry, mate! People will say stuff regardless... You will have people telling you how MASSIVE your bump is one day, and the next you'll be told you are very compact and small for dates. What can you do?
Personally, I put on HEAPS of weight in the 1st tri because I am shocking on the fatty food and carbs when I have m/s. (Feels kind of like a hang-over.) I have already put on 10kg this pregnancy and I'm only half-way. But I can pretty much guarantee you that most of that is just body fat from being such a guts and not doing any excersise.
Belle, I put on like 3kg. My daughter was 2.9kg so really the weight was just her. I was alos retaining a bit of fluid by the end of my pregnancy. My midwife never weighed me at my appointments, I just weighed myself at home because I was curious about 4 days before she was born and I was 3 kg more than my pre-pregnancy weight. I have a small frame too and people were saying annoying things like "oh your so small", "she's small for XXX weeks pregnant" , "you must be having a tiny baby" and so on. My daughter is completely healthy, she's just petite. Dont worry yourself over it.
I didn't gain anything until I was about where you are now (14-16 weeks) and then it all piled on. I've since gained 14 kgs and I'm 34 weeks now so probably more to gain Oh it's going to be fun trying to lose it all afterwards
i have learn't not to take to heart what some people say. i too am a small frame and i think i only put on about 1-2 kg's by 19 weeks, even though i was showing a bit.
people used to say to me i must be having a tiny baby and i got really worried, however now i'm 30 wks and have put on nearly 7 kg's and have this big belly and people are saying to me i must be having a huge baby cause my belly's so big....but i must say i'm only belly, you can't tell i'm pregnant at all from behind, so i just smile and nod, but don't pay any attention.
i've only just now started to put on a few kg's i've noticed each time i visit the dr and i get weighed, so yes it's normal to not put much weight on.
i put on 19 kilos in whole pregnancy. WOW! lost about 11 when i was discharged from hospital and was back to pre-preg weight when DD was about 6 months old. still want to lose another 8 though!!
Waaaaaaaay toooooo much! - 15 kilograms. But I sat and ate my weight everyday in the last few weeks. I think I thought I was in a pie eating competition.
