Weight gain so far

[OopsieDaisy]

How much have you gained so far?

I have gained 4-5 kg's already in just 14 weeks, is this too much :confused:

[Tanya1985]

I actually have lost weight... I think it is because I have been sick, but also I was a size 16 before I got pregnant, and with my REALLY healthy eating... now I am looking after another person. I have also cut out alot at sugar because my mum had Gest. Diab. So I should look a million bucks by the time May comes around.... I hope!:D

I think just getting through the first 14 weeks is great

the "text book" says you should have put on about 2kgs, but we all know that for most of us we have had to eat what our bodies will accept and sleep or rest over exercise, not worry about gaining or losing weight.

I've lost 1/2 a kilo overall at 12 1/2 weeks. But my pretty much all of pants won't do up, so my belly has and hips have layed down some solid padding.

I think with me the loss is mostly loss of muscle tone from not being able to exercise (Despite 24hour nausea I've only barfed about twice a week).

I'm hoping I feel a lot better soon and I'll be catching up with you!

I don't have scales at home cos DH is a bit paranoid about his weight (I think he's beautiful, but he thinks he's overweight), so at a guess I would say I've put on 1.5kg. I'll be 14w tomorrow. The OB weighed me at my first appointment with him and my next one is 27th Nov, so I'll find out exactly how much I've put on then.

Im 2 days short of 11wks and I've already stacked on 5kg :eek: I'm really trying to be good with my eating though - I guess I'm just not throwing up as much as is going in :p

:laughing: Yeah it's a delicate balance!

[marlie]

I've lost 1/2 to 1kg since pre-pregnancy weight and am 13 weeks and 3 days along. BUT that being said, I like to weigh about 65kgs, and was 69kgs when we started TTC! I hadn't got around to shifting those winter kilos :D .

Kirsty, I certainly woudn't be worried about any weight gain though... everything I've read says that those who don't out on much at first eventually catch up... especially if the lack of weight gain was because of m/s and nausea (which mine has been).

[Pink73]

I am 12w 3d an I have put on 3kg.
With Jack I only gained 12kg an he weighed 4 of them.
Last time I put the weight on at the begining then slowed right down as I had really bad heart burn so I wasnt eating much an what I did eat I would bring back up.

My sister put on 30 kg:eek: with her last I hope I dont follow her.

[borntobemummy]

I haven't put any on, I think I might have even lost a kilo. I have had 2 different comments that I look like I've lost weight:eek: Which I find absolutely bizzare given the size of my belly! Anyway, it's flattering I guess.
With DD I put on 21Kgs and I don't want to do that again... I never lost the last 5 kilos of it! So, we'll see how it goes this time:rolleyes:

[MilkOnTap]

Last Friday I had my first obs appt - and the night before I had the worst NIGHTMARE that he weighed me and asked why I had already put on 20kg :eek: Ehhh - I'm SO over these crazy preggie dreams :rolleyes:

[bubbles28]

I have put on 3kg. I'm 11wks and 2days. With Ds I put on about 8kg in the first trimester.

[mum2bubba]

I have put on about 5 kilos since being pregnant (I am 12 weeks along) usually I weigh 55 kilos now I am 60. I only put on about 10 kilos with Hayley during the whole pregnancy. I didn't show much.

ROFL!!! Great dreams!

I have lost 4kg - but i was about 8-10kg overweight before i fell pregnant (all leftover from DD) so if you want to look at it properly I have put on 5kg to what my ideal weight is! And i have been eating fruit, chocolate, cakes, pasta - a mix of healthy stuff & rubish. Some people drop the weight really easy after, so I rekon enjoy being preggas & worry about it all later!

Wow - I dont feel quite so crazy after all. LOL :laughing:

[AimeeB]

:wave: I'm 21 weeks and have put on 2kg.I only put on 10 kgs with ds who weighed 5kgs born and I only put on 7.5-8 kg with dd1 and dd2 so hopefully it will be the same this time!

[Kayte]

Hay chicks !

I have put on 4kgs in total in 13 weeks... woops ! :rolleyes:

[miss ani]

i rarely weigh myself... but DP bought some scales the other day. i've put on 1.6kg since the obstetrician appointment a week ago.

[JordansMummy]

You guys are doing so well in the whole weight thing. I'm not preg but I put on a huge 26 or 28kg something like that :gloomy: I hope with my next it won't quite be the same. Well I certainly won't be eating like I did!
So bravo:smiliedance: this is giving me inspiration and hope.

[jeski]

I lost a kilo a few weeks ago, and have only just gained it back. So I've had no change at all. But, my weight used to fluctuate wildly over about 5 kilos in a week when I wasn't pg.. so it's a lot more stable now. :)

[OopsieDaisy]

Glad I'm not the only one who has gained a bit so far!

[ozkelbel79]

OMG, I'm so jealous of you ladies who have only put on a couple of kilos! I'm too scared to get on the scales, but have my 16wk weigh in next week with the OB and I'm guessing around 8kg. At my 10wk visit I'd gained 4kg. I'm really worried and trying to exercise heaps as I put on 30kg with my first preg and stuggled to get it off!

[GummyBear]

Call me crazy, but I'm jealous of you guys who have put on a bit of weight! I'm 12 weeks and have lost weight, which is normal if you're sick, but I haven't been.

Had my 12 week scan, and they say everything looks as it should, but you know how first time mums gets. Would like to see some evidence of this pregnancy!

[doin'mybest]

I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow and so far i haven't put on any weight. I did put on about 1kg earlier on but then lost it again. I am still BF though, so maybe that has something to do with it. With my first pregnancy though i had put on 2 1/2 kg by now.

I'm with you Jane1980 - I want to see some evidence of pregnancy! I don't have my first scan until 18 weeks, so i find it hard to believe there's a baby in there sometimes!

[lilpearl]

At 13 weeks (on Wednesday), I've put on 3 kilos. I've never put on weight in the first trimester before though, even though I gain weight really fast in the last trimester.

[janie]

Hi Guys,
I thought i had put on at least 2 or so since preg. am now 14 weeks, but got weighed at blood test place the other day and turns out im still the same as i was before pregnant!

perhaps i will pile it on later!! but i put it down to not craving sweet things in first trimester. mostly savory. i feel i have eaten lots thats for sure, but just not sugery things. My sister who just popped out her first bub 2 weeks ago said today, dont worry, the sweet craving will come back!!:yes:

[OopsieDaisy]

I am craving savory too!

[AimeeB]

:wave: In my last post I had only put on 2kg at 21 weeks,well in the last 2 weeks it's popped out!I've gone from not even looking pg to putting on another 2kg,that's 4 all up at 23 weeks.Not too bad I guess considering it feels like my boobs weigh 1kg each:laughing: It's getting harder to pig out though as tummy is feeling full really quick and heartburn is kicking in!I found with my first 2 the heartburn wasn't to bad but with DD2 it was digusting as it's going to be this time too.I feel like I have another big one in there though!I got bigger faster with Zane and he was 5 kg the girls were only 4kg and I already feel that i'm not far off looking as big as I did full term with the girls.It's meant to be another boy so I'm guessing i will get a bit fatter this time.I'm just glad my middie doesn't weigh her patients!:o

[doin'mybest]

I am craving savory too!

Gotta love savoury!! I'm also getting cravings for milk and breads and cereals.

But generally i'm just craving food!!

[marlie]

I feel like I am three years old... but I am just going through my first craving period, and of all things - it is Heinz tinned spaghetti on toast! :o :laughing:

It used to be my fav as a kid... so maybe I am regressing.

On the weight side of life, so far so good. Am 16 weeks and am now back to my pre-p/g weight of 69kg after losing 1kg during the first 10 weeks. No doubt it will start to stack on now that I have some-what of an appetite again (albeit for spag on toast... :D )

[miss ani]

our scales broke last week, so i haven't weighed myself for a week or so. that's probably a good thing. :) my boobs have grown a bit though and are getting heavier... i've only had small boobies before, so its nice to have some cleavage all of a sudden! hahaha!

i've been craving those crazy 'nerds' candy!!! out of the blue!! other than that it's mainly been watermelon - which is easy to fix given that it's almost summer and its in every green grocers store. YUM!

[AuntyEp]

Hi all
I am due 18 may, 2008 so just clicked over 15 weeks. I have put on between 2 - 4 kilos but I think it's a good sign especially after not eating so well during those great morning sickness moments!! like most of us, it's a case of eat what you can when you can but feeling much, much better now! All the best!!

[twitch]

I'm not sure what I've put on as we don't have any scales, but at my first OB appt a month ago I weighed 69kg, and I've got another appt today at 4.15pm so I'll find out then. :fingerscrossed: I don't die from shock!

[Tanya1985]

I had my Ob appt. on Friday and I have lost another kilo since my last appt. I was overweight before so the Ob isn't concerned, I am eating so healthy now and ALOT less (I can't fit anything in anymore!) I will be posting my Belly pic soon though and you will see I am definately not small, I have lost all my weight off my legs and face my belly is HUGE but I suppose that is what you get when you begin to show at 8 weeks!

[twitch]

Well I had my Ob appt, we got to hear the heartbeat and he weighed me... I was 69kg at the first appt (12w) and now at 17w I weigh 70kg. One measly kilo. Mum said she put on all her weight in the last 2 months so maybe I'll be the same. Hope everyone is well!
