I was devastated this morning at 22 weeks that I have put on 15lbs.. so about 8 Kg or so...
I lost 30kg prior to getting pregnant and I feel crapo, that I am back there again,
I know its some baby, placenta etc, but goodness..
Please tell me I am not alone here.
So far about 5kgs for me. With DD I had put on 10 kgs by now so have done better this time than last time.
You are definately not alone hunny, don't worry about it too much, you're growing a beautifully healthy little bubba in there. You will loose the weight once bub arrives and wont have a problem in doing so. :hug:
Oh and Congratulations on the HUGE loss before falling preg, that is just amazing!!! You will be back there before you know it!!!
I put on about 20kg with DD. I felt like a whale so I hear ya!!
P.S It all comes off again so try not to worry too much.
I haven't gained anything (yet) only lost. But i did have some to lose and with my terrible morning sickness im not surprised. But i have got my appetite back i havent been able to stop eating so im sure in a couple of months id have gained a heap!.
But don't worry too much, a friend of mine at this point had gained 20kgs :o she just ate and ate.
I have gained maybe 1/2kg, but I am only 11 weeks, but with DD I had already gained a couple of kg by this stage.
A friend would gain 25-30kg with each of her pregnancies and she was quite a thin figure (ex ballerina), and it would all come back off again, she found it difficult to deal with as it was the extreme of what she was used to.
Quite a lot of it will come off after delivery, and don't stress about the rest take your time, it will come and it took 9 months to put on so give yourself plenty of time for it to come off.
I had 4kg to lose to get back to my pre birth weight after DD (but it would have been a lot mroe if she went to term) but I put on 4 kg more :redface: and after 6 months I felt ready to lose it, I ended up losing more, so my starting weight this time was 4 kg less than I started with DD :dance: I am hoping to get really big and fat this time, showing I am growing a big fat healthy bubba :D
Im up to about 5 or 6kg at 25 weeks
The avg wg gain in pregnancy is 12 - 15kg.
However some put on a lot more and some very little. Some carry lots of fluid some are so sick the loose massive amounts of weight.
This pregnancy I have gained 8.25kg in nearly 32wks....so am pretty happy with that...
Last pregnancy I lost 3kg in 40wks, so no gain, but M/S every day, yuk!
and my 1st pregnancy I gained 14kg in 41.5wks and then another 5kg breastfeeding...note to self, do NOT eat fruit bread toasted for every meal!!!!:wall:
i weighed in at 74kgs a couple of weeks ago. Im usually about 65kg, so i've put on 10kg in 4.5mths.
But dont worry, breastfeeding takes it all off again. :)
Hi, I lost 6.6kg's before falling pregnant, I weighed myself a few days ago and I had put back on 6.4kg's and today I am 18 weeks. I feel very happy that I lost those 6.6kg's before falling pregnant becaues all I can think of is that I would be 6.6kg's heavier now if I hadn't!!! I also ate heaps during the 1st tri because it helped me not to feel sick and dry reach, I am hoping that the weight gain will slow down a bit now though because I'm not needing to eat as often and my meal sizes havent' actually gotten any bigger plus I hopeto start walking now I have some energy back.
I have lost 3kg since falling pregnant. I'm 22 weeks. However with both DS's i lost 10+kg all up and didn't gain anything.
I think it's different for everyone. I don't eat much when i'm pregnant because i lose all my appetite. Whereas some women have a huge appetite when they're pregnant.
None so far, but I stacked on 10kg before getting pregnant (to put me 20kg overweight), so my midwife advised me not to gain anything before 20wks. I'm finding it quite eay atm, as I can only eat small meals frequently, so assume bub is absorbing all the energy. My body measurements haven't changed. A better way to determine if the weight is going on growing bub or on growing you is to measure your thigh circumference. That will only increase if you're putting on fat. Otherwise, it's all going to bub.
I am feeling better, i just felt awful this morning with my weight gain.
I have only put on 2.5kgs and i am worried. BUT in saying that i put on 24kgs with DD, 15kgs with DS1, 10kgs with DS2 and around 10kgs with DS3.
I started out about 5kg heavier than I wanted to be thanks to Christmas and losses last year and had put on about 3kg by the time I was about 12 weeks (then had two weeks of bed rest and no exercise and felt FAT! I am now back to about 1.5kg from starting weight (at 15.5weeks) I keep reminding myself that I don't care as long as I get a healthy bub but it is still weird to not mind weight gain!
I put on 20kg with my first! Less with the second but still about 12ish, 5kg with Ash and so far only 3kg this time.
They are all so different hun!! Try not to stress it :) Breastfeeding is the best weight loss tool you have after bubs is born too !!
i put on over 20kgs with DD.. at the time i didnt think i looked that big (except for my belly) but i look at photos and i had 2 chins goin on and everything LOL
It comes off.. im still getting there but i will :)
So far I have put on 8kg this pregnancy.
With my first I put on 20kg, but i was only a mere 45kg before I was pregnant! Plus I was only 17....lol
Breast feeding is a great way to lose weight i reckon!
With my first I put on 19kg!
My second i put on 8kg.
This pregnancy i have put on 10kg exactly ....i'm due in 5 days (woooohoooo :) )
I was able to feed DS but not DD.. so i am hoping not another premie baby here I cant feed..
didispunk - Wouldn't you be able to express milk?
Nope wasnt able with DD being premie.. my body produced NO MILK AT ALL.. and I tried,
Medication ( they trippled the dose)
Accupuncture
Accupressure
Meditation
Feeding her every 2 hours around the clock for 5 days.
I TRIED IT ALL
Hired lac consultant, YOU NAME IT I DID IT.
BUT with DS i was a jersey cow!
lol at the jersey cow! well every pregnancy/baby is different, so fingers crossed breast feeding is an option!
I was a little overweight when I conceived DD1 so didn't put on too much - 8kg in total. Lost all that plus an extra 5kg within a week.
This time I started around 8kg lower than last time and have put on less than a kilo so far which I'm pretty happy with because I have a dodgy pelvis and basically can't walk let alone exercise. But because I can't exercise, I don't need to eat very much.
Am expecting my weight gain to be around 8kg so the same as last time. Am hoping it falls off after the birth again like last time too - though I know it was mostly fluid last time as my ankles were the size of an elephant's.
This pg I've already put on about 13kg at 20 weeks already!
1st preg went from 65kg's to 85kg's at 40 + weeks
2nd preg went from 70 kg's to 90kgs at 40 + weeks
and now from 72kgs to 85 kg's and only at nearly 21 weeks :0
Looking like hitting the 100 kg mark if I'm not careful! Lucky I'm quite tall, so it's not too bad.
I figure this is the last bub, so I may as well enjoy it! :)
Oh what a relief reading all of these replies.
I got "a look" from the midwife when I was checked up at the hospital at 18 weeks - I was 88 kilos, had gained 5. I told her that I was 5 kilos over what I'd prefer when we conceived, I think that's why she gave me a look. She also recommended I see the hospital dietician. Not nice when I was already feeling down about my body image, as my clothes were really starting to not fit properly and this is my first pregnancy so I'm just getting used to all of the changes.
I know that the midwife was actually trying to be kind - she knew that I was above my ideal weight to start with and had gained a bit already, so was giving me ways of looking after myself and minimising the weight gain - I guess I was being a bit sensitive about it.
It's such a relief reading all the different weight gains that people have had - I now feel normal. Thanks ladies. :)
Ok was reading a prego newsletter, says i should have put on 6-8kg so far and i haev put on 10... so.. I guess i am not tooo tooo too far off.
hey didispunk, don't stress! We're all different. I've read that it's quite common for smaller women to put on higher amounts of weight and women who are already large are likely to gain less. We're all unique. You get mamma's who gain 30 kilo's and mumma's who gain nothing. A healthy bubba and mumma is all that matters in the end ;)
I put on 12 kilo's all up with DD and this time I've put on 2 kilo's so far (at 20 weeks). Bearing in mind though that I am on the chunkier side already so don't need to gain any more bodyfat IYKWIM. ;)
Relax and enjoy your pregnancy :)
With ds I put on 27kg :redface: This pg I've put on 10kg, much more managable but I started a bit heavier as well....
I ordered an omlette for breakfast at a coffee shop this morning, commented how large it was when it came out and the waitress looked at me and replied "well, a big girl like you should be able to finish it"!!! :o
:o:o:o That is pretty rude and insensitive :(:
Yup! If I hadn't been so damn hungry and happy to finally be out by myself for the first time in forever I probably would have said something!!! :wall:
:jawdrop: omg... i cant believe someone said that to you!!!:
Now that I have bronchitis I have lost 4kg... i would rather not loose it that way!
:jawdrop: I would have thrown it back in her face!!:
With this pregnancy I actually haven't put on any weight. But I'm thinking it's just distributing to different areas as my boobs are heaps bigger and I have a massive belly. Weird.
Previous pregnancies I've gained around 15kg.
Have to say I am loving the bigger boobs this time too :) Hello 'D' cup! Can you please stay forever???:
Oh I would LOVE D cup boobs again, mine are up to F cup now :(
I am at the 17 week mark and haven't put anything on just yet. Am very much not fitting into my clothes though so have bought me some comfy cargo pants with elastic waists :D
Thats no good. Hope you're feeling better Didispunk!:
