I'm not sure if i'm just being alarmist and reading too many books and reading too much into them... but i'm starting to worry that i've virtually put on no weight!
I am 5.7" (almost 5.8") and started out weighing 70kgs. Am now 18.5 weeks preggers and only put on half a kilo. The book i have at home says i would have put on at least 5kg by now?? WTF is that right or what? I am eating good (mostly) - i admit i've had HJ's probs a few times in the last mth, am not eating everything i see but not starving self just eating when hungry.
am i about to explode? What are other ladies experiences? this is my first. am i late bloomer?
hun, i'm 12 weeks and have actually lost about 10kg - my doc isn't at all concerned. you may find that you yourself have lost about the same as the baby has gained. if you've been eating healthy it shouldn't be a drama. talk to your doc on next visit
books only state averages - but averages have to have people that gain more and less to make them an average kwim?
My Dr did not weigh me at all during pregnancy, and when I asked him, he said he only weighs if there is GD present... And I didnt put on any weight till the last month, where I put on the grand total of 7kgs...
Mention it to your Dr, but dont worry too much... HTH
hey there - I lost nearly 10kg in my first trimester and it's only in the last 8 weeks or so since I've developed a ravenous appetite that I've put on about 8kg.
I think your fine but if your worried have a chat to your MW
Well if you really want you can have some of my weight I've put on 17kg's. I am 5'6" and weighed 50kg when i fell pg so was underweight if anything. As long as you are eating good foods and drinking loads of water your baby will be fine.
You are normal, normal, normal and normal.
I'm not putting on weight!
