pregancy weight gain

Post subject: I lost a stone and a half in my first pregnancy through sickness and not being able to eat. I have gained very little in the two after too but with this one I've already put on about 8 pounds! I think it's due to Christmas over indulgence also :/

Post subject: I put on approx 5 stone during first pregnancy and I was 8.5 stone (5ft 2inches tall) at conception! was very sick for weeks 8 - 15 and didn't eat very much at all but continued even at that point to put up about 10lbs.
I wasn't on a strict diet while pregnant but didn't totally over indulge either - my cravings were mars bars and coke (so bad I know!) but I only gave in to the urge once or twice a week. I swam regularly up until the third trimester and then I got the flu and a cough etc that meant I had to stop for a bit. I lost about 3 stone in the first couple of weeks after having my DS and another stone within the next 4 months or so, I lost about half of the last stubborn stone a few times over the last three years but would gain it again! I was back at Curves and in the process of losing it when I conceived again over Christmas. I was at 9.4 stone just before Christmas and am now already up at over 10 stone at 7 weeks!! At 5 weeks I had my post Christmas weigh and measure at Curves and was 10 stone, boobs up by 2 inches, waist up by 2 inches (tummy was same as before Christmas and thighs were down half an inch!)This made me take a pregnancy test!!! I am definitely watching what I eat better this time and have been exercising more so far than first time around so I have come to the conclusion that my body just loves to store fat when I am pregnant! If you know you are eating enough of the 'right' foods and not eating too much of the 'wrong' ones then there can't be a particular weight gain that is correct for everyone. _________________

Post subject: I've 2 weeks to go until my induction and so far I've gained 7lbs, they think my baby will be 8lb something, so baby plus the fluid, I should be lighter when the baby comes than I was before becoming pregnant.

Post subject: Gaining the right amount of weight during pregnancy by eating a healthy, balanced diet is a good sign that your baby is getting all the nutrients he or she needs and is growing at a healthy rate. It is not necessary to "eat for two" during pregnancy.

Post subject: Hi ladies, I'm just coming on here to get this off my chest really.
Feeling really low and angry with myself after getting on the scales this morning to find I've gained 1 and and half stone already (20 weeks) 
When I got pg the first time I was slightly overweight and in total put on around 2 stone. But about a year after having our little girl I lost nearly 3 stone (as well as my baby weight) and for the first time in a long time felt comfortable with myself. Kept the weight off for over a year and thought I'd finally beaten the demon....until I got pg again, I'm just using it as an excuse to eat and I know it
I'm going to cut back now and hopefully not gain too much more (apart from baby) but just feel really angry with myself as I said I wouldn't do this. Sorry for the long post just feeling fed up xx _________________   Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2013 3:25 am
Post subject: I just found this article about weight loss and the power of fasting very useful. Fasting can save your life and make you lose weight. I am currently pregnant and have gained a ton of weight. I never thought of using water fasting to achieve my post pregnancy weight goals. Talked to my OBGYN and she actually recommended it as well.
