Post subject: gaining weight? Obviously I expected to out weight on and it started really well but my cravings for chocolate and sweets and orange juice has been horrendous haha.. I'm already over weight (obese by my bmi) and all the websites on Google have different information.. How much weight is normal weight gain?? I've gained 11lbs up till yesterday and my mil is pulling faces at me when I tell her... I thought I was doing quite well lol x

Post subject: I think 11lbs is about right weight gain wise and I expect most of that weight is from your bump not actual fat. I really wouldn't worry. My MIL used to ask if I was having twins because in her words I was really fat!!
I found I gained weight after pregnancy!! _________________  Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 4:13 pm
Post subject: Ive gained 10lbs and I'm not even half way yet.. I dont look like ive put any weight on though really, still just about fitting into my normal jeans so i would say 11lbs is quite good for your stage xx

I'd say 11lbs is good for 28 weeks , your midwife will probably have a better idea of the overall recommended weight gain though as it varies depending on if you were skinny or just right or overweight when you got pregnant , obviously the weight of the baby and the blood volume and placenta and fluid you can't do anything about anyway and you shouldn't diet while pregnant unless its supervised by a doctor,and if you gain too much then you just have to lose it after but just the other day I was watching a programme about eating disorders and how common it is for them to start in pregnancy  Made me think that maybe people who feel the need to make the "fat" comments to pregnant women should be more careful what they say  xxx Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 7:57 pm
Post subject: Im defo over weight to start with lol. I felt I'd done ok I gained 4 stone with my 1st and cant shift the 2 I was left with.. I lost it at ww after Lewis and gained it all back when I stopped.. I'm probably going to gain about 3 lab this weekend though.. It's my sons 3rd birthday lol.

Post subject: I weighed myself yesterday for the first time, and have put on 7 lb so far, was looking for this post as I didn't know what was 'normal'. I've got my 25 week midwife appointment today so sure will find out more. 11 lb seems fine to me though.
