How much weight have you gained?

Out of curiosity how much weight have you gained since the beginning of your pregnancy? (what week are you now?) I’m struggling to gain any due to health issues, my body isn’t digesting food properly. Despite that the baby is developing just fine so far, I’m concerned it may become an issue in the third trimester. If any of you faced a similar challenge and found a solution, I’d be grateful to hear what helped you.

So far I've gained 5kg and I'm 27 weeks today. X

8-9kg I am at 24 weeks. Started the pregnancy at 59kg for 166cm. Been eating very healthy and exercising, yet I am gaining quite a lot so I guess it varies a lot across women.

Already 10kg and 25 weeks😅 but I’ve been comfort eating lol. I would ask your midwife/DR for some advice. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!💗

@Anna thanks, I discussed it with my obstetrician

24 weeks and I’ve gained 4.5kg so far! ☺️

I’m 25 weeks today and have only put on 2lbs (just under 1kg) I had bad HG early on and lost a fair few kg so have only recent got back to my pre pregnancy weight and start gaining. Baby is a healthy size and weight, 47th percentile at 20 weeks ☺️ I was told by numerous doctors that baby will find all the nutrients and recourses they need regardless of the mothers weight gain/diet and not to worry x

@Siân thanks for sharing and sorry about your challenges. Yeah, I heard the same opinion. My issue is that I struggle to eat more than my normal amount of calories and it’s necessary to increase nutrition intake during the third trimester. Hopefully I’d manage to sort out my digestion before the third trimester.

Does no harm to chat to your midwife about your concerns and maybe they could help or get a dietician to give some input ☺️ good luck and I’m sure your little one will arrive just perfect! x

Lost 12kg so far (30 weeks)

I am 23 weeks tomorrow and I have only gained 4.5 kg

Haven’t measured but haven’t gained much due to severe sickness in the first 20 weeks, I have lost weight everywhere except the bump, somehow baby is measuring ahead, baby has taken everything needed despite it all!

I’ve avoided weighing myself because I’m really struggling with my body changing 😅

Lost 5lbs in the first trimester, and have since gained about 10lbs, so net +5lbs overall. I’m at 23 weeks.

8.5 kg and even with hyperemesis 🙈

24 weeks and I’ve gained 2lb

I’ve put around 3/4 pounds on and I’m 24 weeks. Only last few weeks I’ve put anything on as had no appetite for the first 16 weeks x

Thanks everyone 🙏

So I lost 10lbs in early pregnancy with food aversions. Been slowly putting that back on. Haven't gained more than pre-pregnancy weight. 26 weeks atm. So hoping it doesn't add too much more. Equally, I'm eating what my body wants so if I do gain more weight than what is likely, thats ok too

@PeggyK sounds sensible. I was underweight already before the pregnancy that’s why I’m a bit concerned.

If baby is developing as expected thats really good. Have you tried higher calorie based food at all? Its difficult to eat sometimes in pregnancy with all the coursing hormones too. I would speak with your health team if its still concerning you. Best of luck!

I'm a big girl- lost weight during pregnancy initially and have maintained recently
