weight gain.

Hi girls, This is my first post but I've been browsing for a while. I have got lots of great tips from this discussion board, thanks I am 25 and a half weeks pregnant. Thankfully everything seems to be going ok. I'm slightly concerned about my weight gain. I've 15 weeks left and I've already gained a stone and 5 pounds!!! 3 pounds of that went on this week. How much weight had you gained at this point? I seem to be constantly hungry.

Hi Baby On The Way - sorry i'm no help as i'm not pregnant but thought i'd bump this for you as some posts can get lost among the others and it's disheartening to not get a reply - hope someone gives you some advice and good luck! x

Hi i got weighted at 29 weeks and had gained 1 stone and 5 pounds, went from 8stone 7 to 9 stone 12. I only get weighted at my appointments so im not keeping track of who much i gain each week. I asked Doc was my weight gain ok and she said it was fine. I can see by my clothes i have grown loads since then, my maternity clothes are starting to get too small.

Hi baby on the way This sounds very normal to me. I'm just going on 24 weeks and up to last week I had put on 10 pounds and now this week I've put on one stone I've no excess weight on me (that I've noticed anyway) and the last time I was at the docs I was concerned that I wasn't putting on enough weight so I think it's catching up now Everyone puts on weight at different times and as long as you feel healthy and the baby is healthy then I wouldn't worry too much about it

Actually for 25 weeks that seems to be on the modest size, well at least compared to my weight gain! No, seriously, a stone and few pounds is not much, and as for the 3lbs gain over a week, most of it will be fluid retention, amniotic fluid + baby.
