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!!
I have put on 7kg and I am almost 36weeks. I put no weight on until about 23 wks and then it steadilyt crept on and have not put any on the last 2 weeks.
Im 25 weeks and haven't put on any weight yet. I was 62 kg pre pg, lost 4 kgs with morning sickness (had it til 16 weeks) and since have put that 4kg back on. So same as my pre pg weight. I've had ppl say one day I look tiny and another I look huge, don't worry about what other ppl say it'll just stress you out.
Also I didn't feel my baby kick til 18 weeks and my SIL didn't feel hers til 21 weeks (she has a bit more padding than me tho) especially with ur first its fine not to feel it til like 22 weeks, any probs ask ur doc
I put on nothing to 17wks and now at 28wks I have lost 3kgs. But that is due to being diagnosed with gestational diabetes (so avoiding all junk and processed foods), and not having much of an appetite. Dr's aren't concerned. Bub is still growing well, measuring a week ahead and moving around lots.
Don't worry about other people's comments. Everyone is different. As long as you are feeling happy in yourself and your Dr is happy, try not to let the comments bother you.
I put on about 25kgs and was huge!!! I started showing early but I know a couple of people who didn't even tell their bosses at work until 5mths cause they weren't showing. I lost 15kgs by the time I got home from the hospital and I recken my boobs must weigh abit but am trying to lose the rest. Olive is 3mths.
I felt flutters at maybe 17wks but no 'real' kicks until 21wks.
I am only a small frame as well and with my second pregnancy I was still wearing my normal clothes at 19 weeks. By the end of the pregnancy I had put on 12kg. My DD was born at 37 weeks, healthy at 2.8kg. Don't worry about the fact you haven't felt the baby move yet. I was 16 weeks with my DS before I felt him move and 17 weeks with my DD.
