    Honey, one thing i have learned in my last 2 pregnancies is that everybody, every baby is different.

    I put on 30 kilos with my first son, and i think i have put on about 15 so far with this one.
    I am alot smaller with this one, and this baby is a smaller baby. PLease do not worry, but raise your concerns at your next midwife or GP vsit.

    I agree with everyone else, i am 15 weeks also and small like you 51kg, i have only put on 1.5kg but not too worried. I have sarted to notice changes in my body like my waist is definately getting thicker and i have a pot belly (or pot baby lol).

    You are perfectly normal xo

    LOL, we just can't help worrying about weight can we? With my first pg I was worried because I thought I was putting on too much weight. With my second pg I was worried because I thought I wasn't putting on enough weight! Both times my ob was totally unconcerned. All pgs are different!!

    I was worried about the little weight I had put on at the start of this pregnancy, but now I'm at the end I have definitely made up for it. I think up until 20wks or more I had only gained about 2kg and even then I would lose a little then gain it again now I have gained 9.5kg.

    I mentioned it to the MW and the OB and neither seemed concerned at all. As long as you feel healthy and good I don't think there'd be anything to worry about.

    Dont worry too much. I didnt put on any weight at all till like 20 weeks, and after that I only put on about 4 kg. I was about 50 kg to start with and about 54 kg at the end of my pregnancy. My belly popped out about 17-18 weeks.
