I put on 15kg my last pregnancy and most of that was put on in the first trimester because of MS And then in the last trimester a lot of my gain was also fluid retention. 7 weeks after birth I am now 13kg off my pre preg weight I read somewhere that 12 - 18kg is the normal range.

If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose the weight you accumulated during pregnancy.

The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week.

Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster.

Yoga burns calories when done the right way.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week.

This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me during my pregnancy when I started gaining too much weight.

Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level.

If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results.

Good luck!

Such tiny wee numbers for you all !! And yes, even you Paws I've stopped weighing myself because I decided I didn't need even just one more thing to worry or think about - my guesstimate is that I've put on around 12kgs so far, am hoping it won't be much more !! Most people reckon I'm all belly which is a nice sentiment... I just hope I can get rid of it eventually LOL (After bubs is born of course!) Might be OK with the way these iron supplements have me feeling (That said, don't want to put bubs in danger from lack of food intake...hmm, might need to make a seperate post about this !!)]]> Tue, 09 May 2006 21:36:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=45314&title=weight-gain#45314 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=45309&title=weight-gain#45309 Author: luna

I'm 31˝ weeks and according to my scales the other day, I've put on 4kg - that was weighing myself in the morning.
Today I had a growth scan etc (baby all normal), but they reckon I've put on 2kg since my last appt, which makes a total of 6kg, so somewhere in the middle maybe?]]> Tue, 09 May 2006 21:20:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=45309&title=weight-gain#45309 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=45306&title=weight-gain#45306 Author: jack_&_charli

I'm 19 weeks and have put on 1 kg... I'm not tall and was a size 14 or L beforehand. Now I'm in maternity clothes because I can't get my middle into any of my pants, and my old tops are FAR from flattering on me. I love a nice maternity top now - so good for the ego! I expect my weight to climb faster from now on - I am not from a skinny breed.   ]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 17:01:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44856&title=weight-gain#44856 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44768&title=weight-gain#44768 Author: mrs frantic

Man Im the biggest by far, last time with Kobe I think I put on about 20kgs and only got rid of about 8kgs before this baby and so far have put on I think maybe 10kgs so far but my excuse is gestational diabetes. We go for a scan on Wednesday to see how big this baby is.

Each previous time I weighed about 4-5kg more than my pre-preggy weight after giving birth.]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 11:45:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44695&title=weight-gain#44695 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44691&title=weight-gain#44691 Author: emeldee

I've put on 1kg - but then I was overweight to begin with so it's all fine. With my last pregnancy I ended up losing weight (not on purpose). I think it's all relative, provided your LMC is fine about it, I wouldn't worry. ]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 11:33:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44691&title=weight-gain#44691 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44689&title=weight-gain#44689 Author: Guests

I have put on around 6 or 7kg. I think I was a little bit overweight before I got pregnant anyway.

Fortunately being tall I get away with extra weight (not that I like it)

With my first..in total it was 18kg!!

Im not worried about it tho. It will come off at the other end sometime!]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 11:13:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44677&title=weight-gain#44677 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2392&PID=44673&title=weight-gain#44673 Author: caraMel
