6kgs at 17 weeks I was hoping it woul dbe less, it is on my butt, my thighs, face and my tummy.. I am bigger in the tummy than i was in other pregnancies (showed much earlier) and this time I have been stressed which equals eating for me.. don't worry too much, now is'nt the time to try to not gain, there will be plenty of time later. Each pregnancy is different, in one I ate loads and did'nt put on a thing until the second trimester, then in the last trim I hardly ate anything and put on loads everytime I seen the doc... most I have put on was 20kgs and alot was fluid!!! Least I put on was 12kgs I figure at the end of this one I will have 20kgs to lose, from this baby and all the extra 1or 2 I did'nt lose from others, good thing they have body transforamtion challenges on here
My OB gave me a brochure put out by The Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists and it lists ideals of weight gain as follows, based on your BMI pre-pregnancy.
BMI 18.5 or less (Underweight): 13-18kg weight gain
BMI 18.5-24.9 (Normal/Healthy): 11-16kg weight gain
BMI 25-29.9 (Overweight): 7-11kg weight gain
BMI 30-34.9 (Obese Class 1): 4-11kg weight gain
BMI 35.0-39.9 (Obese Class 2): 0-4kg weight gain
BMI 40 or more (Obese Class 3): 0kg Weight gain, LOSE up to 4kg
I have put on 5 kg and I am 35 weeks pregnant. I had extra weight on so could afford to not put too much on, I have been concious about the amount I have been eating though.
Due to just being pregnant, you will probably feel heavier even if you havnt put on much weight. Dont worry too much.
FWIW, my midwife weighed me at my booking in appointment and hasnt weighed me since. I just dont think its as important as it was once thought to be.
I've put on 10 My Dr doesn't say anything... he just says "Excellent! A growing girl!" I'm assuming if I was putting on too much he would tell me...
I think mine is all in my stomach... all my normal jeans and stuff still fit, just not around my stomach XD
