Just wondering how much weight everyone has put and by when? I have been the same weight since BFP! Lost a kg in first trimester, then excatly the same weight till 14 wks. Put on 0.5kg as at 14 wks, but 4 days later am the same pre-preg weight??:doh: I am looking a little pregnant - ie. have a bit of a bump, boobs are def bigger. Should I be worrying? Also haven't felt bub move yet so am terrified something is wrong :(
5-15 kg by full term is average, so about 50% of women gain more or laess than that. Helpful huh?
2.2 kilos in the first trimester, and the rest after that.
Its more important that your bub is growing than how its affecting your weight. If you've been sick with m/s, or eating healthier its posible you have lost body weight and gained baby weight.
Thanks ray ray. I haven't had bad ms, but have started eating a lot healthier. Maybe that's it. Can't wait till ob appointment in a week to see that bub is ok.
I put on 9kg's with both of my pg's. With my first I didn't dtart to stack it on til about 16wks, then it came at about a kg a month til the 3rd tri when it was more like 1 kg a fortnight. I wouldn't be worried yet.
With my first bub I didn't feel it move til I was about 17wks pg, so I wouldn't really worry about not feeling bubs move yet either. Good luck and I wish you a happy and healthy pg!
Thanks lilias. I wouldn't worry , but people are commenting and it kinda makes me very conscious. But people are people, hey? I hope you are right. I have a very small frame so maybe that contributes to it.
I lost weight my first two pregnancies and put on about 12kg with the 3rd and they were all about the same size - 3.4kgs, go figure
I lost a few kgs with DD1 in the first tri. Put on 10 kgs through the whole pg.
Lost 10 kgs in first tri with DD2. from pre preg weight only put on 4 kgs, from lowest weight put on 14kgs.
Lost maybe 1 kg in first tri with DS. Put on around 10 kgs. I wasn't weighed by any Drs during that pg though. Just at home when I thought of it.
Don't worry, mate! People will say stuff regardless... You will have people telling you how MASSIVE your bump is one day, and the next you'll be told you are very compact and small for dates. What can you do?
Personally, I put on HEAPS of weight in the 1st tri because I am shocking on the fatty food and carbs when I have m/s. (Feels kind of like a hang-over.) I have already put on 10kg this pregnancy and I'm only half-way. But I can pretty much guarantee you that most of that is just body fat from being such a guts and not doing any excersise.
Belle, I put on like 3kg. My daughter was 2.9kg so really the weight was just her. I was alos retaining a bit of fluid by the end of my pregnancy. My midwife never weighed me at my appointments, I just weighed myself at home because I was curious about 4 days before she was born and I was 3 kg more than my pre-pregnancy weight. I have a small frame too and people were saying annoying things like "oh your so small", "she's small for XXX weeks pregnant" , "you must be having a tiny baby" and so on. My daughter is completely healthy, she's just petite. Dont worry yourself over it.
I didn't gain anything until I was about where you are now (14-16 weeks) and then it all piled on. I've since gained 14 kgs and I'm 34 weeks now so probably more to gain :) Oh it's going to be fun trying to lose it all afterwards ;)
i have learn't not to take to heart what some people say. i too am a small frame and i think i only put on about 1-2 kg's by 19 weeks, even though i was showing a bit.
people used to say to me i must be having a tiny baby and i got really worried, however now i'm 30 wks and have put on nearly 7 kg's and have this big belly and people are saying to me i must be having a huge baby cause my belly's so big....but i must say i'm only belly, you can't tell i'm pregnant at all from behind, so i just smile and nod, but don't pay any attention.
i've only just now started to put on a few kg's i've noticed each time i visit the dr and i get weighed, so yes it's normal to not put much weight on.
i put on 19 kilos in whole pregnancy. WOW! lost about 11 when i was discharged from hospital and was back to pre-preg weight when DD was about 6 months old. still want to lose another 8 though!!
I have put on 7kg and I am almost 36weeks. I put no weight on until about 23 wks and then it steadilyt crept on and have not put any on the last 2 weeks.
Im 25 weeks and haven't put on any weight yet. I was 62 kg pre pg, lost 4 kgs with morning sickness (had it til 16 weeks) and since have put that 4kg back on. So same as my pre pg weight. I've had ppl say one day I look tiny and another I look huge, don't worry about what other ppl say it'll just stress you out.
Also I didn't feel my baby kick til 18 weeks and my SIL didn't feel hers til 21 weeks (she has a bit more padding than me tho) especially with ur first its fine not to feel it til like 22 weeks, any probs ask ur doc :)
I am only a small frame as well and with my second pregnancy I was still wearing my normal clothes at 19 weeks. By the end of the pregnancy I had put on 12kg. My DD was born at 37 weeks, healthy at 2.8kg. Don't worry about the fact you haven't felt the baby move yet. I was 16 weeks with my DS before I felt him move and 17 weeks with my DD.

I put on nothing to 17wks and now at 28wks I have lost 3kgs. But that is due to being diagnosed with gestational diabetes (so avoiding all junk and processed foods), and not having much of an appetite. Dr's aren't concerned. Bub is still growing well, measuring a week ahead and moving around lots.
Don't worry about other people's comments. Everyone is different. As long as you are feeling happy in yourself and your Dr is happy, try not to let the comments bother you.
I put on about 25kgs and was huge!!! I started showing early but I know a couple of people who didn't even tell their bosses at work until 5mths cause they weren't showing. I lost 15kgs by the time I got home from the hospital and I recken my boobs must weigh abit but am trying to lose the rest. Olive is 3mths.
I felt flutters at maybe 17wks but no 'real' kicks until 21wks.
I am 27 weeks today and so far have put on, at the most, 2kgs. And that is with the last 6 weeks being mostly bedrest. Bubs is growing fine and when I asked if I should be worrying about the weight not piling on, my ob just said to count myself lucky. He said as long as you start the pg at a healthy weight (ie not dramatically underweight) then the baby will take what it needs from you.
Also, depending on where your placenta is sitting will affect how long it takes to feel movement - mine is at the front so I felt her later than my SIL whose placenta is at the back.
Ah the great weight debate.
don't worry hun - i worried too cos i put on NO weight until 24 weeks - i've put on 3kg total. now at 28 weeks. i'm pretty sure that's all icecream too - have been scoffing down these awesome icrecreams called 'moo's'. haha :lol:
anyway - i started at 70kg and am 5.7" so ... healthyish weight. as long as u feel good don't worry about the weight cos it WILL come. i imagine if your eating habits have changed that has a lot to do with it. (i couldn't stand red meat and crisps for AGES so i'm sure that's why i didn't put on more) .... :D
as far as baby movement goes - it varies a lot as per comments above. i felt a proper kick at 17 weeks.

Well I started at 69kg (163cm) and have gained about 9kg. I'm 21 weeks atm and I still havent felt a kick, although DH said while I was sleeping last night he had his hand on my belly and felt a good kick! That gave me some releif cos I've been a little worried the last few weeks that I havent felt anything!
Thanks girls! It's really reassuring to hear all your experiences. I just want to be sure that bub is absolutely ok.
My first: 40 kg :o I was quite underweight to start off with.
My second: 30kg. Lost it all within about two years of the birth.
My third: can't remember
Ditto fourth and fifth. ;) The babies I breastfed with, the weight just fell off afterwards. With #4 I know I was pretty heavy when she was born but I was down to a size 10 by the time she was a year old.
This one, I've put on 10kg already. I've just switched to a low GI diet to keep my blood sugars under control and I'm hoping that I won't put on too much more. But the thought of even the normal weight gain of 15kg (about the best I can hope for) would still leave me in the 90s when I'm done. How depressing :(
I only put on 5.5kgs with DD1 and only 2kgs with DD2. Pregnancy was a great "diet" for me!! Try not to worry. Both my babies thrived in the womb and were born smack on the normal range.
As for movements, everybody and every pregnancy is different. I felt DD1 very early (probably about 15 weeks). I was concerned I wasn't feeling DD2 by 20 weeks (especially when you supposedly feel subsequently babies more quickly). Turned out I had an anterior placenta so that was muffling a lot of movement. She sure made up for it later on in my pregnancy though!!
With movement I didnt feel any until about 19weeks and then full on kicks at about 22weeks. It will get stronger as each week passes.
I put on about 18kg with DS, I just put it on right from the beginning.With this pregnancy I haven't put on anything yet, might be because I am also breastfeeding.Everyone is different though, as long as your healthy and feel good I wouldn't be concerned.
As for the movement, don't worry about that at all! I felt DS for the first time at 16w6d(just to be exact!)Haven't felt it move with this one yet, but I'm hoping to feel it slightly earlier than last time.
Waaaaaaaay toooooo much! - 15 kilograms. But I sat and ate my weight everyday in the last few weeks. I think I thought I was in a pie eating competition.
I put on 8.5 kilo's by the end of my pregnancy ( i walked lots & was careful with what i ate) ;)
Back then (two & half years ago) i read & was told by my OB & GP that the average woman usually puts on between 9 to 13kilo's :rolleyes:
1st - 5kg (was way overweight to start with - like 30kg)
2nd - 19kg (was within my healthy BMI to start with)
3rd - I'll let you know, but as I am starting this pg a little overweight (about 12kg) I am hoping to minimize my weight gain to no more then about 5kg overall.
Wow! there is a lot of difference in everyone's weight gain. Pregnancy book guidelines for normal weight gain don't seem so "normal" anymore :rolleyes: I am trying to eat healthy regular meals, drink enough water and get enough exercise. Guess I'm on the right track ;) Thanks girls :grouphug:
When I was pregnant with DD1, I put on a good 30 kgs... but then I was severely underweight when I fell pregnant with her (still not sure how I conceived, tbh - DH's swimmers must just be determined little buggers), and I did go absolutely mad with the TimTams and KFC while I was pregnant with her...
After I had her I lost about 15kgs, was trying to get back to pre-preg weight but decided to try for another bub (and succeeded straight away), this time around I've only put on about 5 kgs and I'm 23 weeks. I had only put on 2kgs up until a few weeks ago, I was really worried because with DD I stacked on the pounds pretty quick and I was worried that this little one might be starving to death in there, but doc assures me my weight gain is totally healthy and my friends have said I seem to be losing weight from other areas of my body and gaining it in the boobs and belly.
