Finally worked up the courage to weigh myself and I've only put on 2 kgs but my tummy is WAY bigger than before...very strange.

I only expressed for 3 weeks, but did lose weight. When I stopped b/f I gained 3kg back.

A friend told me the other day that a lot of people drop the weight after the 6month mark, it has been true for her and another mum in our AN group so a good reason to keep b/f till then if you can (if only... maybe then I would fit my clothes again!)]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:45:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=429280&title=weight-gain#429280 <![CDATA[Weight Gain : I put on 10kg all up then lost...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=429267&title=weight-gain#429267 Author: Two Blondinis

LG i know that when you get pregnant your body metabolism slows down so that maybe it- and maybe youve actually put on less than you think- my weight gain was really fast in the first tri- but has slowed down alot to where when i last weighed myself i didnt gain any weight over 2weeks! coming from having gained 11kgs in 4wks!...............so ive jst learnt as long as im eating healthy, im not gona bother about the weight!]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:19:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=428310&title=weight-gain#428310 <![CDATA[Weight Gain : Im too scared to weigh myself...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427924&title=weight-gain#427924 Author: LG

I've lost 2-3 kgs (from my pre-IVF weight) but I think that is because I've been eating really, really well (lots of fruit and veg and drinking loads of water) and I can't stomach junk, unless No. 9 is having a *very* good day ... today I was allowed to eat a peanut slab and I nearly rolled around on the carpet in joy afterwards like my dogs do when they've had something delicious (to them - manky bones aren't my idea of delicious!)    I'm a bit surprised because I'm not being too active, even though I'm eating well.

I'm hoping to keep my weight gain to around 10 kgs, but time will tell! The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that!! ]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:44:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427729&title=weight-gain#427729 <![CDATA[Weight Gain : I gained over 20kgs in first pregnancy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427694&title=weight-gain#427694 Author: cat007

I gained over 20kgs in first pregnancy and then stopped weighing myself. Lost most of it but still had 5 kgs left to go, a year later, and then fell pregnant again.

This time, I lost 6kgs in the first trimester (nasty ms) but obviously with a twin pregnancy have gained a lot back. (Hopefully only in my tummy area). Im too scared to weigh myself this time.]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:12:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427694&title=weight-gain#427694 <![CDATA[Weight Gain : I gained 4kg in the first trimester,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427530&title=weight-gain#427530 Author: emz

I gained 4kg in the first trimester, and about 30kg all up. Lost 20kg immediately (baby and fluid) and am now working on the last 10 (only 9 to go!). My deal with myself is I have to be back to 75kg before we TTC #2 and that's in September so I better get my A into G.

Oh, and I will be more careful next time too. Just the fact that the only thing I could stomach for the first 17ish weeks was bread (well any sort of carb) and same in the last 10 weeks.]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:33:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427530&title=weight-gain#427530 <![CDATA[Weight Gain : I&#039;d put on 7kg by the end...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427522&title=weight-gain#427522 Author: SarahP08

I'd put on 7kg by the end of the first trimester. I had MS but only nausea no actual vomiting, trouble was I found the only thing that helped keep the nausea at bay was eating.

Last time I was weighed I'd put on 17kg but that was at 28 weeks and now I'm nearly 34. I'm not looking forward to breaking the 100kg mark but as long as Baby is healthy and I lose it afterwards I'm going to try not to stress about it.

How much weight did everyone gain in the first three months? I know everyone is different but I'm curious to see if i'm the only whale in a mumu in the group LOL. ]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:30:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18694&PID=427018&title=weight-gain#427018
