How much weight have you put on?

[mbear]

I dont know....ive never weighed myself throughout my pregnancies....maybe with my first one i did....but for me it just causes too much stress. I fit into the same mat. clothes i wore with all my pregnancies.....thats good enough for me....

[MamaPan]

i also dont know... i didnt weigh myself often in the last preg (maybe every 12 weeks or something like that) and i havent weighed mysefl since the day I found out i was preg this time...
i figure it is kinda out of my control as long as i am being reasonably healthy...deal with it when bubs is here.

I'm just over 16 weeks & have put on 3 maybe 5kgs so far. I feel like this is too much too fast but am just so ravenously hungry all the time I can't help it!!

[Catastrophic]

None as yet But I WILL

[Serenitylee]

I just weighed myself and seem to have put 2kg on....I think our scales are lying!

[me83]

I have put on 1.5kg. I feel happy with that as I am eating relatively healthily and it appears to be my bust and waist line that are expanding.

[Serenitylee]

How is everyone going so far? Anyone put on a bit more weight? I have put on a few kgs now but nothing to bad.

[~CrazyMumOf3~]

I've lost a further 2kg's. Will be bringing it up at next checkup cause im rather concerned. bub is moving heaps and measuring to date.

[MamaPan]

i weighed myself think i have put on 4kg. better reign in the eating!! are there guidelines on good averages???

[*TripleJ*]

11kgs so far for me i gained heaps in the first trimester coz i was always eating and at my hens night i ate a whole chicken parma the size of a dinner plate when before gettin preg i could only eat half of one oh well DH has said im gettin a treadmill after bubs comes lol

9.6kg at 26 weeks for me, not too bad, and I was very skinny before.

Well, since I started on the Maxalon to arrest the HG, I have managed to claw back 0.5 of a kg. So I am still well behind the 8 ball, but heading in the right direction now!

[blayne]

im almost 25 weeks and have only put on 3kg, but my bub is small so the docs keep telling me , with my first i put on 13kg and he was 7pound9ounc

[tattoo_mama]

pre pg weight 62 kgs
16 weeks pg: 58 kgs (lost weight due to morning sickness)
26 weeks pg: 66 kgs
today (32 week checkup) still 66kgs
so put on between 4- 8 kgs depending how you look at it
but fundal height is correct so mw said no worries, am eating like a pig recently so im satisfied bubs is getting plenty of nutrients

I put on a total of 16kgs with my ds but 7.5 months later i'm back to my pre pregnancy weight but i look different tho, wider hips extra

hi there,

im 22 weeks pregnant and saw this discussion and id like to share with you that my ob weighs me at every app.

at 12 weeks i weighed 80 kgs (i am tall.. ) i saw him at 16 weeks and had put on one kg saw him at 21 weeks and put on 1.5kgs

i dont think about what im eating or how much i have kept every thing the same as prior to being pregnant... we eat alot of healthy food naturally but on weekends if i want to eat something naughty i do..

i have to say that a enjoy your pregnant, some people may walk religously and what what they eat but the fluid and blood supply may result that you have put on move weight which will be lost.

eat healthy and enjoy the pregnancy

[Serenitylee]

I eat healthy during the week and on weekends will let myself have some naughty things.

I also power walk 4 days a week for 25mins each time. I have been told that the weight we put on doesn't always depend on what we eat, apparently it is genetic. I know a friend who didn't eat that healthy through her pregnancy and she put on next to no weight at all yet other people I know eat very healthy and put on heaps of weight.

Just goes to show that even if we do eat healthy, it doesn't always mean we will keep the weight off unfortunately.

[Amsta]

Exactly, i completely agree.. i mean your carrying another human so i dont think it should be focused on how much uve put on it should be do you look healthy, feel healthy, have great blood levels etc.

i think your doing well and congrats on only putting on 2kg.. third trimester for us to tackle yet!!

ive gained 2.5 so i guess we are around a similar stage of pregnancy and both looking after ourselves

p.s i forgot to add that i walk to the train or walk my dog daily.
