Weight gain

[redgum]

I'm 20 weeks today and have gained 10kgs this pregnancy so far. How much weight did you gain at 20 weeks? I am really worried about gaining so much weight. I have done it before and lost it, but nervous the second time round.

At 20 weeks with DS2 I had gained 5kg, however I wouldn't worry too much about it, everyone's different

Ohh I was about to post a similar thread. At 20 weeks I had put on 10kg also. Im now 24+2 and have put on 15kg all up so thats 5 kg in 4 weeks. Im starting to really stress about it as my local hospital has a BMI cut off and if I go over that Im labelled high risk and cant birth there. I have worked out I have 20kg to go until I reach that point so I really hope the weight gain slows down soon.

At 22 weeks I recorded a weight gain of 10kilos. I gained 20 all up. Actually just double checked and it was 18kilos all up

I think I gained around 4kg by 22 weeks but i also had and still have awful nausea and Vomiting. So I lost a bit of weight in the first trimester then put it back on.

I'm 35 weeks now and have gained 9kg. But like previous poster have said everyone is different, my BFF gained 20kg all up her last preg, I don't think I'll tip the 10kg mark this time.

Yes, I guess everyone is different. I had a pretty low BMI to start with so maybe it's my body trying to put on extra weight to support the pregnancy. I eat healthy meals, but my snacks aren't the best so am going to try and make them better as I know what I put on I have to loose. I think I put on 18kg last time and it was all gone by 12 weeks. I was really active in my last trimester so need to keep that up this pregnancy I suppose.
It's so hard not to worry.

I will be 29 weeks and was doing well but all if a sudden I piled on some weight and I think I have put on 17 kilo. Hope it will slow down and just be bubba weight.

By 20 weeks I had put on 1kg, another 10 weeks along and I have put another kg but I was bigger to start with so I think that makes a difference to how much you gain

At 20 weeks I had put on 10kg both times and more than another 10kg by full term. I lost all of the weight within the first yr first time around and still have 5kg to lose second time around. I dreaded the weight gain but I ate well and couldn't control it.
