Weight gain

Getting a bit paranoid about weight gain here. I've put on 6kg in the first 13 weeks mainly due to eating crap thanks to morning sickness and hormones :(

With my first son, I put on a whopping 25 - 30 kg but managed to lose all of it pretty quickly.

Anyone else put on lots of weight?? I feel quite embarrassed about it coming from a very athletic background.

Thanks

Yep, I've put on 6-7kgs as well so far. Mainly due to eating crap and not going to the gym regularly anymore. Really annoying cos I worked so hard to get that weight off in the first place!

i am a personal trainer so i was horrified when i ate crap and gained 10kg in the first 3 months. this was all i put on though. lol. i started eating better one i didnt feel sick so all the extra must have come off at about the same weight baby was putting on so i wouldnt worry . once you feel better you'll be ok and you only put on what you need so try not to panic too mcuh :)

I'm scared at how much weight I'm gonna put on cos the only way to stop my morning sickness a bit is to eat really regularly. I haven't weighed myself but might do it now to see.... I swear I look 5 months pregnant already, I've just popped out.

I put on about 25kg and most of that was in the last half, I lost 18kgs of it in 4 weeks but struggling to lose the rest so have joined weight watchers.

Both my sisters put on 20+kgs each pregnancy so maybe it is a family thing

Thanks for all the replies. Yesterday, when I was out town, every 2nd lady I saw was pregnant and skinny!!!   lol.   Keeping up my exercise and hopefully ms will wear off shortly so at least i won't have a reason to raid the pantry....:)

I've put on 5-6 kgs so far.

And I also put on a lot of weight with my first child. When I was pregnant with my daughter I put on 23 kgs.

Which makes me feel crap when I read in all these pregnancy books that the normal amount to put on is 12 kgs.

I was like, seriously?!!! How the hell does a pregnant women manage to only gain 12 kgs. That's just not fair!

Now i'm thinking i am abnormal - i have not put on any weight and i'm 28 weeks. i think i lost a bit of weight in the first trimester cause I wasn't eating much at all. I never weighed myself until I was 12 weeks, but I have not changed since then. Unless my scales are not working properly I am eating normal - like what I would not being pregnant, unless there is something that I now don't eat because of food safety that used to be bad for me? I don't do exercise either.

Yeah Kirstine I put on exactly 12 kg with DS and within a week of popping him out a good 8-10 of that had disappeared. This time (ETA so far lol) I've put on less than a kg and its all in my boobs (they suddenly shot up 3 cups sizes much to my horror! I'm only 14 weeks!!!!! ). Just make sure you're eating healthily - pregnancy is the only time you get to be pleased you're gaining weight (well unless you have an eating disorder but I'm just referring to ordinary people situations!!).

Kezza alot of people put on the bulk of their weight in the first trim then nothing else so I wouldn't be concerned. You can always lose whatever you gain anyway just fit in abit of exercise where you can and curb any junkfood cravings. Wanting it does not equate to needing it (that sounds smart but actually its what DP keeps telling me when I beg for fried chicken with chips and extra salt **droooool** or BK but thats more coz he has to drive half an hour to get it LOL).

I need some of your healthy eating Kristine...even at 5 weeks when I think McD's fries I just find myself wandering on there to get some.

We are going to stock up on some healthier versions in this weeks shopping though so hopefully that will help! I want to start some gentle walking this week also.
