Weight gain 🥴

So I stupidly got on the scales today and found out I've gained 1st 5lbs. I feel like this is a hell of a lot. I'm currently 28+4. My bump is huge but I don't feel like the rest of me has gained loads. Is this a lot to have gained so far??? Like I say, my bump is pretty big....

15 lbs ? Or 5 lbs? I have gained 20 lbs at 28 weeks yesterday. And for me and the fifth baby it's the least amount I have gained with any of them so I was happy with it.

Just over two stone for me. It’s not just baby remember… loads of extra blood, boobs, fluid, placenta… all sorts! X

@Sommer I've gained stone and 5lbs 🥴

@Laura aww you look beaut x

@Lily aw thank you. Yeah I need to remember why 8m feeling like a fatty x

I hadn't been weighed at any antenatal and just jumped on a friends scale out of curiosity. This time around I am not too worried about it and just rocking the big belly. We all look amazing I think no matter how crappy we feel lately❤️

@Sommer thanks sweetie xx

I got weighed today at my 28w (didn't look at the scales) and was told BMI had gone up. Just weighed myself at home and it's about 24lb 😞. Like you I feel my belly has grown but not the rest of me, I was also told I'm measuring a week ahead but that it can be inaccurate. 😂 I'm trying not to stress about it because I've previously struggled with body image and pre pregnancy was happy with my body.

I’ve put on about 22lbs think we’re all in the same boat so don’t worry yourself you look fabulous! Xx

I refused to weigh as I know I'll restrict my eating if I think I've gained too much as in not allowing myself treats. I've always had a negative body image, and being size 20 before pregnancy has made me struggle with my changing body. I did look at the scales today wondering but decided against it. Will be on a diet in the new year, so I don't need to know my weight now. X

Yeah I’ve put on 1stone 8lb at 30 weeks. Midwife said to be 2-3 stone is average

@Leanne im the same size. What are you measuring? I’m way ahead.

@Nicole baby was measuring 2 weeks bigger when I had my growth scan at 23 weeks. Don't have another scan til 32 weeks and midwife isn't measuring my tummy etc due to having growth scans x

I’m almost 27 weeks and have gained 15lbs. I don’t feel much bigger other than around my stomach but maybe I look it idk

I’m so glad for this post… I stupidly did the same yesterday and I’ve gained nearly 2 stone! I feel better that others seem the same!

I have gained 2st and I’m 29 weeks tomorrow 😅 my bump is huge too and everyday I get “you sure there’s not twins in there”!!! 🙄

@Lauren you look fantastic 😍

@Hannah omg I get this all the time or I get "oh you must be ready to drop. Only a couple weeks to go" Oh bore off!! I've got ages left lol x

Beautiful, I love your tattoo too!

@Leanne oh yes how could I forget the “you look ready to drop”. I just wanna tell them to shut it 😂 or the unwanted horrific birth stories where it seems like everyone I have spoken to has “died” giving birth 🙄 x

@Hannah aww people need to sod off really. Birth really isn't that bad. I know everyone's experience is different but Jesus wept. If it was that bad the human race would have been extinct long ago 🙄😅😅

@Leanne EXACTLY! X

I have gained possibly only 5lbs only;/;/
