    right i weighed myself yesterday after guessing i'd put on a stone and a half and i wasn't far off...i've put on 1stone and 9lbs.  so i went from 9st 5 to 11 stone spot on, that was a shock let me tell you lol.

    the nurse annoyed me though as when i walked in she asked how long i had left so i said 2 months exactly and she said 'oh not to worry, you've got plenty of time to grow yet' as though my bump isn't big enough!  i was only a size 8-10 pre-pregnancy so what's she expecting?!  plus i've put on a reasonable amount of weight so hmph!

    im coming up to 32 weeks and have gained a stone. its not all bump tho! i can see on my legs and bum. last time i gained 1 stone 10lbs and had 10lbs to lose after giving birth so i only lost a stone having given birth. it then took me a few months to get the 10lbs off. my mate put on 3 stone and had a huge bump and she was normal weight within a few weeks....

    In the 1990s, the Institute of Medicine in the US recommended that women should aim for a weight gain related to their pre-pregnancy BMI:

    • If your BMI was less than 19.8, you should aim for a weight gain of between 12.5 and 18kg (28 to 40lb).

    • If your BMI was between 19.8 and 26, you should aim for a weight gain of 11.5 to 16kg (25 to 35lb).

    • If your BMI was above 26, you should aim for a weight gain of 7 to 11.5kg (15 to 25lb).

    The 1 2 3 rule summarises this in a way that is easy to understand:
    • If you were overweight before you became pregnant, you should aim for a weight gain of around 1 stone.

    • If you were a normal weight, you should aim for a weight gain of around 2 stone.

    • If you were underweight, you should aim for a weight gain of around 3 stone.

    If you are under 20 years of age, you should aim for a weight gain at the top end of the range for someone with your pre-pregnancy BMI.

    and especially this

    http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/antenatalhealth/physicalhealth/weightgain/

    my mw said that 2./2.5 stone should be what i am aiming for!! if you look baby and placenta, additional blood etc will weigh  18lb - whgich you should loose automatically over a 8 week period just for giving birth

     

    Someone i work with has 5 weeks left to go and has put on....wait for it......5stone 8lb at last weigh in!!

    Im the same as you put on just over 2 stone but cant see where its gone other than bump and boobs. Everyone is asking how ive put so much on cos nothing else has got any bigger.  I think a lot of it is bloating and water retention cos ive had a bump since 8 weeks everyones different x

    more than everyone else has written! I've put on around 2-2.5stone! Its all on my tummy though, and a bit on my face. Not sure exactly how much i weighed when ttc thats why its a rough guess! Its probably because i've developed an addiction to toblerone and fizzy sweets though! Not worrying about it too much, can always lose weight after babys born.

    i don't know yet, will weigh myself at the midwife's on thursday but i'm guessing it's 1 and half stone as a few weeks ago i'd put on 1st 3lbs.

    31 weeks and gained 5lb, but I am not too worried, I actually lost weight through my pregnancy with my son and ended up at term having only put on 9lb - he was 8lb 14oz born.  So not surprised I haven't really gained any this pregnany either as I am determined I lost up until 4 weeks ago.
