Weight gain!!

How much weight are people gaining? I’m 27 weeks and have put on 21lbs. A lady I work with said she put on 26lbs her whole pregnancy… I still have 13 weeks to go!!! I know I shouldn’t compare myself with others but with the mixture of that conversation and none of my clothes fitting me right now I’m feeling quite bad about myself. I also measured 28fundal height at 26 weeks so feel I’m bigger than I should be. Any advice/help/opinions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Seriously dont panic! I have put on 3 stone which i asked my midwife about and she said they dont worry about weight so much as its so variable between each woman with size of baby, fluid, bood growth etc etc. I started at 7 & half stone so she said that its a good thing. Xx

Please don't stress! My first I put on loads everywhere, this time I don't seem to have, I've not dome anything differently, just different pregnancies :)

I’ve put on 3 stone so far and I’m 26 weeks tomorrow. I’m weighed at each midwife appointment and they aren’t concerned 🤷🏻‍♀️ I obviously am as it’s my first pregnancy and I definitely didn’t except to gain this much so soon but on both sides of my/partners family we have big babies so I’m just going with it for now and trying to eat healthy. What will be will be! And I can worry about it after the baby is here. Try to enjoy your pregnancy xx

At 24 weeks I've put on about 17lbs, but like others have said, it's so variable between everyone and it's so normal, so try not to stress about it and enjoy the journey as much as you can x

I'm not even weighing myself lols, as long as I'm making sure baby gets all the nutrients from my diet and I'm moving every day then I'm happy. Weight has never meant much to me, try not to worry 💌

I’d put on 16lbs by 12 weeks as I had to eat salty crisps the ENTIRE time to not be sick 😅.

I also recommend not weighing! No need, there will be weight gain and your baby will take what it needs in terms of giving you hunger and cravings either way. My boss' wife said she gained 20kgs in her first and 25kg in her second pregnancy and she is an absolute twig now so don't worry!

I lost nearly a stone initially when i got pregnant and I've now put 9lb of that back on and I'm also 27 weeks lovely but I'm measuring 5 weeks infront on my fundal height so I really wouldn't worry about it. Were all so different x

I've gained 4.5lbs as my pre pregnancy weight was already quite high on the number chart haha so I've been super super careful but thats me. Every single person and body and pregnancy is different. A friend of mine gained 3 stone. One gained 1 and another gained like barely anything. One pal of mine didn't gain any and didn't know she was pregnant at all. 🤣 we are making people and they are just numbers right now. Don't worry ❤️

I’m 24 weeks and have put on 19lbs so far. Reading these comments has made me feel better! X
