Worried about weight gain (lack of)

[Tobily]

I weighed exactly the same as you prior to both of my pregnancies - 52kg.

I didn't put on a gram until I was 20 weeks with both of them. With DD I put on 13kg in total, and with DS I put on 10kg. All of that weight went on from 20 weeks onwards. They were 7lbs and 8lbs born, so not scrawny babies And I put less weight with the bigger baby. The weight you put on doesn't have much bearing on the size or growth of the baby I don't think.

It's fine, you'll be packing it on before you know it lol.

Hi there just adding another persons experience. I was a size 14 at 74-75 kg just before I fell pregnant. It had taken me a year to get down to that weight with weight watchers from 85kg.

Now at week 16 (6 days) I am 68kg and fitting into size 12 maternity jeans. I havn't been measuring my tummy growth but it is bigger and so are my boobs - baby has just been eating up my extra fat to top up its needs.

I wouldn't worry about weight gain/loss or lack thereof, as long as that heartbeat is healthy and the scans showbub's growing then it is ok. Besides there is still a whole other trimester to get though where bub will be piling it on regardless of what we say. I reckon that is where the most of my weight will appear.

My Ob has never weighed me once, he's completely against it because it means nothing. I've been weighing myself just because it's something to do to mark off each week of pregnancy.

The first trimester I lost 2kg, then I went up really slowly and by the end of week 25 I had gained only 2 kgs from my starting weight. I'm starting to gain weight at a more steady rate now.

I'm pleased to not gain much. It means I won't have so much to lose when the baby comes, I can't afford a completely new wardrobe
