How much weight did you put on??

[belle75]

Just wondering how much weight everyone has put and by when? I have been the same weight since BFP! Lost a kg in first trimester, then excatly the same weight till 14 wks. Put on 0.5kg as at 14 wks, but 4 days later am the same pre-preg weight?? I am looking a little pregnant - ie. have a bit of a bump, boobs are def bigger. Should I be worrying? Also haven't felt bub move yet so am terrified something is wrong

5-15 kg by full term is average, so about 50% of women gain more or laess than that. Helpful huh?
2.2 kilos in the first trimester, and the rest after that.
Its more important that your bub is growing than how its affecting your weight. If you've been sick with m/s, or eating healthier its posible you have lost body weight and gained baby weight.

Thanks ray ray. I haven't had bad ms, but have started eating a lot healthier. Maybe that's it. Can't wait till ob appointment in a week to see that bub is ok.

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 weight my first two pregnancies and put on about 12kg with the 3rd and they were all about the same size - 3.4kgs, go figure

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.

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.

I put on about 18kg with DS, I just put it on right from the beginning.With this pregnancy I haven't put on anything yet, might be because I am also breastfeeding.Everyone is different though, as long as your healthy and feel good I wouldn't be concerned.

As for the movement, don't worry about that at all! I felt DS for the first time at 16w6d(just to be exact!)Haven't felt it move with this one yet, but I'm hoping to feel it slightly earlier than last time.
