Weight Gain?

[Michelle_N]

Well I have to say that I am almost 17 weeks and have only put on 3 kilos....and I have been eating heaps like lots of pasta and bad stuff! :)

Gotta say I am pretty stoked....only 3 kilos so far. With my first I put on a total of 20 kilos and it took about 7 months to lose it all which wasnt too bad. I am overweight anyway so am trying to be careful about putting on weight but I have been just so hungry that I have to eat...and fruit just doesnt seem to fill the whole.

So when I weigh myself and only see a 3 kilo gain, I say BRING ON MORE BAD FOOD!! :D

How has everyone elses weight gain been going?

I have gained about 4 kilos in 19 weeks. I am happy with that.

Well done girls!

I have lost 2kg and am 19weeks. At least I have put some back on that i lost - i had lost almost 5kg at one stage, so it is slowly starting to come back.

I am having a trouble keeping any weight on.

The day I found out I was pg I weighed 70kg. Now at 19 weeks I weight 62.5kg. I am definitely getting my baby belly and the docs have assured me that bubba is fine but I am not putting on any of the weight I lost.

To lose this much weight if I wasnt pregnant would be fantastic but seeing as I am pregnant is it a problem????

I am 19 weeks and have put on 6 kilos! :eek: 2 parts baby, 4 parts hot chips....:o

Hot chips! Love it mmmmmm

I'm 19w today YAY and I started out 69kg and now I am 70kg, so just that 1kg. I've never been able to put on weight easily though. I was so worried about not putting on enough weight I was on the net yesterday googling "average pregnancy weight gain" to see what came up, but it just looks like everyone is different.

Well if your doc is saying that your baby is healthy and growing at the right rate then I would say that you have nothing to worry about.

I mean if you have a few kilos to lose in the first place its probably just your body burning of the energy that it takes to make a baby....and it does take a lot of energy to make a baby thats for sure.

As long as you feel healthy and are eating well (and lots of it) and are taking your vitamins then I would say that this is a blessing in disguise!

But is you still feel unsure about the weight loss see your GP or another doc. Its always better to be safe then sorry.

Not sure how much I've put on... I lost about 5kg to start with from being sick but I'm sure I've put on a kg or two since then. Dont worry to much about losing weight as the doctors will always say something if they are worried and babys have a way of finding what they need. Its just us mothers that end up suffering in the long run :p All in all as long as you are happy and healthy bub should be fine.

I'm 16wks and only put on 1kg so far which I'm happy about I only put on about 6/7kg with each pg and lost it as soon as bubs was born, :fingerscrossed: that happens again. I think it's cause I'm over weight anyway.

I have heard some women do this!

I'm 17 weeks and have put on about 1/2 kg. Last time by this stage i had put on about 3kg. I think this time i've put on less cos i'm bf.

[WeloveHarriet]

17wks for me and I have put on 1kg. My last pregnancy I only put on 2kg for the whole pregnany - which I loved because it meant once DD arrived I actually lost weight (problem was it soon found me again LOL).

I feel better now, thanks ladies. I was worried that I wasn't putting on enough weight.
