so i was just curious to how you pregnant ladies are doing with your weight gain this pregnancy? with jamie i only gained 15lbs by week 40 and but that went straight away as he was 8lbs of that then the rest was water weight etc. so i was very lucky but didn't realise it at the time!

anyway this time round its completely different and i'm shocked at how much i've gained already! i started out at 133lbs (9st 7lbs) and when i weighed myself yesterday i was 150lbs (10st 10lbs)!!! thats a gain of 17lbs already and im only just over half way! it really scares me that im gonna struggle to lose it afterwards!

so how u all doing? x x

Last time i checked at 19 weeks i still hadn't gained any, i'll weigh myself tomorrow morning x

I've gained 19lb in total. most of that between 20-30 weeks. I haven't gained anything in the last 4 weeks x

I gained ten kilos with Joshua (so 22pounds, with Sophia i put on two stone.

With Sophia, within a year I was a stone lighter than before i was pregnant, however in the following year i put back on ahlf a stone.

With Joshua, I think i have one kilo left to lose to be back to pre-pregnancy weight. Am hoping to have lost a stone by april next year but we shall see. (that will take me to under 9 and a half stone which i would like, but i would particulalrly like to get to nine so i have some roo to put weight back on but not be too big!)

I was weighed today at the hosp and very proud that I've only put on 9lb. Which they've said is water and baby. I have a lot of water.

Russ reckons I'll be slimmer when ive had her, or he's just making it up lol

i have put on over a stone already x

Still no1s topped my 17lbs! I feel like a chuffin whale! Just hope it starts to slow down from 30 weeks like u Mandy! Xx

don't know if any of you would be interested but i just found this web page as i wanted to know whether my gain was ok or to much and its reasured me so if u all wanna have a go to make urself feel better then here it is! x
