Weight gain 22 weeks

How much weight has everyone gained by week 22? I’m avoiding the scales and I’m terrified to see how much I’ve put on. Feel like it’s more than it should be! I don’t have a bump yet but feel like I’ve just expanded everywhere else 😩 anyone else the same?

Yes! I’m 22+4 and I’m also avoiding the scales. Can’t tell im pregnant but can definitely tell I’ve put weight on. I’ve been eating constantly since the beginning too and had no sickness. Terrified to check 😫

A lot. I weighed myself for a laugh a couple of days ago and at 21 weeks i have gained 20 pounds. I don’t feel like i’ve gained 20 pounds apart from very painful knees! My midwife has told me not to worry about it but its hard not to. I was having to take steroids until 14 weeks so that may explain it 🤞🏻

I’m at 22 weeks now but only gained 3kg because sickness is so bad! I was starting to worry it’s not going up enough

I decided no more scales after about week 11. It's too dangerous for me to be stressing about weight gain when I need to be focused on nutrition 🤷🏻‍♀️

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
