Weight Gain

when i was pregnant i only gained 3kgs...but everybody is different, and unless the midwife or doctor is worried about it, i wouldnt worry

most midwives dont worry about weighing you now days...as most believe that you will put on what you need too...and as long as you are eating right (and the weight gain isnt becasue all you are eating is junk food) then they wont worry.

as for my 3kg weight gain, i think it runs in the family as mum was excatly the same.

I am definatley eating more as I am more hungry but it is not bad food.

I am just worried as I still have 16 weeks to go and have heard you put all the weight on towards the end

i dont know how much I gaiend while pregs with Haleigh or so far this tiem round as my mdiwives Ive had dont weigh you unless oyu want to or if they need to.
Everyone gains differently.

Believe me the extra wieght you gia in pregnancy does come off, some of us have to work a little harder than others but it does come off.

I should weigh myself at midwifes next week to see how much Ive gained could be interesting

It is strange how some put on very little weight and others alot, it makes no sense.

I dont want to sound like I am thinking more of myself and being selfish. The most important thing is the baby but I am still worried.

I was always small and now am not feeling so good about myself

With my first son i lost 15kgs in the early stages when i couldnt eat (dont worry! - i had enough to loose! lol ) then i gained 12kgs over the whole pregnancy.
With this pregnancy i lost 20kgs (from not eating but couldnt eat properly until about 6months compared to the 4 months in my first pregnancy!) and at my last weigh in which was 26 weeks i had gained 4kgs. Im sure that iv probably piled on heaps more so far as i now feel as huge as a house!!!! BUT all for a good cause right

before i was pregnant i was 53kgs and by the end of it i was 68kgs, i'm now back down to 52kgs. i really wouldn't worry about your weight, everone gains differently.

i was 52kg now at 25weeks im 62kg i dont really worry about my weaight coz just think your body is just trying to keep a wee baby safe and warm and look wat you get at the and

I think I need to walk more get my fitness up.

Before I got prega's I used to do quite alot then I got MS and movement made me vomit.

That is not enough of an excuse as it has been 10 weeks since my MS, I just feel I am getting lazy.

I am 25 weeks tomorrow and have gained 2.7Kg - I get the issue of people questioning whether baby is big enough! But baby is measuring bigger than her gestational age so I'm not worried. I have got more of a sweet tooth than before I was pregnant, but in general my diet hasn't really changed. I still walk the dog at least every second day and I've just started doing the preggie bellies workout twice a week. I agree with the others that everyone is different and as long as the baby is healthy, that's the main thing. However, while this might not be 'mentally' healthy, I am really aware of not wanting to have to diet and workout for years following the birth to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. So I am trying to keep active and eat healthily...
