Hiya - Just when I fell pregnant I was 10 stone 2 and two weeks ago when I had my 16 week bloods taken with my midwife, she weighed me and said I was 11st 2!!!!! She said it was nothing to worry about.... I have been eating carefully the past 2 weeks and have gone back down to 10 st 7 which I am happy about. I think her scales were wrong! hahahah

I put on over 4 stone with my first! Unfortunately I only lost 2 of it. I am one of the unfortunates that really has to work to lose it and I got a bit depressed and trapped in a vicious circle of comfort eating coz I was depressed about it. Id say I put on about 2 stone with my youngest and so far I have lost nearly all of it without trying (7 weeks later). With 2 kids under 2 I havent time to feed myself! Just waiting for my friend to have baby number 2 and then the bikes will be out and hopefully I will lose whats still left from first time!!!! She'll inspire me coz she is lucky and she'll have no trouble and I will have to keep up with her wont I?!?!?!

Hi,
I'm at about your stage (32 weeks) and I have put on just over 2 1/2 stone from pre-pregnancy- all bump! My husband today said I look like a back widow spider- nice! At first i lost 1 stone through morning sickness. You seem totally in the normal range. Best of luck!

I'm in my 18th week, and so far I've lost 2 pounds. I'm very happy with that - I was overweight before I got pregnant and so I really don't need any "extra padding", in my view.

I'm trying to eat healthily - lots of veggies and fruit and low fat meals, and also going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week to swim and exercise. I'm hoping that I won't gain anything in the coming months.... fingers crossed.

Hiya, I am in my 24th week and I have gained a stone and a half and steadily rising, ha ha. Not too sure how much more weight I will put on but hopsefully it will come off fairly easily after the birth.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and so far have put on stone and a half. I feel like a beached whale and doesn't help that my partner's new nickname for me is 'fattie' and he delights in telling anyone and everyone that i'm now chunky!!! Planning on breast feeding and I hope this will help with weight loss after the birth!

I'm 25 weeks now and have put on just under a stone - I'm trying to tell myself it's mostly bump, but I fear ice cream and chocolate have a lot to answer for!

I'm 28 weeks i've almost put on 1 stone, finally at an average weight lol, are you supposed to put on more if you were underweight to start with?

i'm 26 weeks and have put on two stone, but i lost alot of weight about four years ago and am still not as heavy as i was then so am pleased about that, eveyone is different depending on build and baby but i think the average is about 2.5 stone but i know i'll defo go pver that ! as long as you feel well just think of the baby, just don't go mad on the choc, cream cakes and chips !! already putting together an exercise and healthy eating plan once had my baby..though if i get the time to put it in to practice that's another story !!

hi, i put on nearly 4 stone with my first pregnancy nearly 2 yrs ago, i was lucky enough to lose this and more. i'm currently 27wks pregnant and have gain nearly 2 stone,i'm hoping that i won't put on too much more.
i love being pregnant but hate the constant comments on your size, at the moment everyone says i look big, which is hard to cope with at times, being senstive doesn't help, but to be honest as long as you and the baby are both healthy, who cares, just enjoy xx
