If you don't mind. Can anyone tell me how much weight they have put on so far in their pregnancy.
I am 25 weeks and have put on 4-5kgs. I didn't think it was that much but wondered what other people were like. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

Wow you guys have hardly put on any weight you lucky girls. I am 16 weeks this week and I think I have put on around 4 kgs so far. I am finding since second trimester has started that I have regained more energy so will be able to do more exercise again so hopefully won't put on too much weight. ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

I imagine mine will go up a bit aswell as I suddenly just can't stop eating   Even hubby commented on it last night when I had just polished off my dinner and was sitting there eating manderins!!!------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

i put on 6kgs in my first couple of months. Not sure how much more ive put on since. Too scared to get on scales. Dont think it is that much more. im guessing a total of 8 kilos so far and Im 23 weeks. My midwife seems to think all is great. Im walking lots now too so hopefully wont put on too much more except for baby weight. hehe. ------------- http://pregnancyplanet.net/tickers/">

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! -------------

I've put on 5 so far at 14 weeks  But there ARE two babies (that's my excuse anyways...)
The OB told me this morning that it is fine to walk for excercise during pregnancy. Ha - fine for him. He's not the one flaked out on the couch by 6pm every night as it is! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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. ------------- |

Umm... so far, I've put on maybe just under 1kg. By this stage with each of my other two, I'd put on about 2kg or so.
Each previous time I weighed about 4-5kg more than my pre-preggy weight after giving birth. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

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. Kobe was 7lb 2oz at 34 weeks any they think this one will be big to thanks to GD ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

Hhhhmmmmm - I've put on 1-2 kgs already, but I'm sure that most of that is in the boobs! Seem to have gone up a whole cups size already! (The rest of it can probably be put down to easter...) ------------- DS#1 - Hamish 24/11/2006 http://lilypie.com">

that sounds about right for the first trimester I think herewego - i put on about 1 - 2 kilos in the first 12 weeks and they said that was the average for people who didnt have severe morning sickness... ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- Andie |

| i just went to my mums and weighed myself again (no scales at my house) and honestly in the last 4-5 weeks i have gained around 4.5 kg! a kg a week. thats just crazyness. i hope its just a stage, i hadnt gained much up intil the past month (21-25 weeks) then BOOM! i guess the fact that i have been hungry heaps the past few days hasnt helped, but i dont eat BAD! argh! midwife tomorrow.... |

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? |

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 !!) ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

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. https://yogaweightloss365.com/" rel="nofollow - 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! Mandy |
