Hi, I lost 6.6kg's before falling pregnant, I weighed myself a few days ago and I had put back on 6.4kg's and today I am 18 weeks. I feel very happy that I lost those 6.6kg's before falling pregnant becaues all I can think of is that I would be 6.6kg's heavier now if I hadn't!!! I also ate heaps during the 1st tri because it helped me not to feel sick and dry reach, I am hoping that the weight gain will slow down a bit now though because I'm not needing to eat as often and my meal sizes havent' actually gotten any bigger plus I hopeto start walking now I have some energy back.
I have lost 3kg since falling pregnant. I'm 22 weeks. However with both DS's i lost 10+kg all up and didn't gain anything.
I think it's different for everyone. I don't eat much when i'm pregnant because i lose all my appetite. Whereas some women have a huge appetite when they're pregnant.
None so far, but I stacked on 10kg before getting pregnant (to put me 20kg overweight), so my midwife advised me not to gain anything before 20wks. I'm finding it quite eay atm, as I can only eat small meals frequently, so assume bub is absorbing all the energy. My body measurements haven't changed. A better way to determine if the weight is going on growing bub or on growing you is to measure your thigh circumference. That will only increase if you're putting on fat. Otherwise, it's all going to bub.
I started out about 5kg heavier than I wanted to be thanks to Christmas and losses last year and had put on about 3kg by the time I was about 12 weeks (then had two weeks of bed rest and no exercise and felt FAT! I am now back to about 1.5kg from starting weight (at 15.5weeks) I keep reminding myself that I don't care as long as I get a healthy bub but it is still weird to not mind weight gain!
