Hey i wouldn't worry, i think the more weight you can keep off the less you have to lose later. I'm nearly 23 weeks pregnant and my start weight was 9st 10lb i was weighed the other day at the hospital and weighed 10st 8lb. I was worried about being weighed, i thought i had put on loads and all my midwife said was not to worry how much you do or don't put on as long as the bump is ok. Congrats and good luck with your pregnancy. x

Hey, I am 25 weeks pregnant and i have put on 14lb so gone up to 10st 10lb, my midwife told me that everything was totally fine and it is normal to put on between one and two stone during pregnancy. Dont think you have anything to worry about hun x

Hi, I wasn't weighed throughout the entirety of my third pregnancy??!! Midwife asked how much I weighed at my booking in visit calculated my BMI and that was it. I put on 2 stone by delivery but it was baby no 3. Amylou is right in saying that between one and two stone is normal, if everything was okay at your second scan and you know you're eating properly I wouldn't worry. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
