When did you start gaining?

I lost weight at first too! It was maybe around 20weeks when I finally started gaining and I only gain 18 the whole pregnancy!

I don’t know when I started gaining exactly. With my daughter, I lost 7lbs in the first trimester than only gained 12 from there - for a total of 5lbs from prepregnancy weight. I’m currently 27 weeks with number 2 and have only gained 3lbs and I definitely have a bump

I noticed by 9 weeks, I put on 5kg pretty quickly. I swelled up fast

Me too!!! 4kg and I’m 11 weeks

I started gaining around 15 weeks. Had gained 10lbs by 20 weeks. Now 25 weeks and gained total 16lbs so far.

I lost weight during the 1st and most of the 2nd trimester due to bad morning sickness but I have now put on the weight that I lost and just under 12 stone at 32 +4 weeks.

I'm pretty sure I was about 6/7 weeks each of my pregnancies when I started to gain. My body loves to pack it on pregnant even when I'm active.

I'm 16 weeks and have gained about 7 lbs

20 weeks is when the pounds started adding up for me.

I don’t remember when I started to gain, but you couldn’t tell I was pregnant until I was almost 5 months.

22 weeks

21 weeks

Around 12 weeks until week 17 Then it stopped for a while and started gaining again around week 22.

Second term I started gaining .

If bloat counts then at about 6-7 weeks. But body fat increase I didn’t notice until about 19-20 weeks

I’m 15 weeks and have gained 6.2 lbs

I’m 21 + 3 and have gained maybe 4-5 lbs total so far, but definitely nothing noticeable. I mean, I’m still in my pre-pregnancy jeans and everything. But I am starting to expand even without the weight gain, so maternity jeans here I come.

Second trimester. I lost 10 lbs in the first from being sick all the time.

Last pregnancy I gained 17 lbs by 23 weeks. Not sure if that's considered within normal range? I ended up gaining an additional 43lbs by the end sooo I'm doing everything possible this time around to limit that 😶

18 weeks

13+6 today, I gained 4,5Kg so far, pretty sure that at least 2Kg went straight to the boobs 😅

I’m 38 weeks. I started pregnancy at 90kg I am now 88kg but I have a big tummy full of baby. I started to recognisably show at around 20 weeks.

With my first I didn’t gain anything till I was 35 weeks. Ended up with a 7lb 10 oz healthy girl. My second pregnancy I didn’t gain till 33 weeks and had the baby at 38 weeks he was 10 lbs 8 oz.

You look amazing. I started to get a small bump at 17 weeks. I lost a stone at the start of my pregnancy

Thanks for the shares, ladies 😸🙌

I’m a slim person, so I ate more than a horse during my first and second trimester. I was scared about not gaining enough weight, and kinda gained too much, too fast. 😕 by the time I slowed down on my eating, I gained around 40lbs. I noticed that I started gaining weight around week 6 honestly, my bloating was pretty bad....now at 36 weeks, I’m up to 50lbs, but it’s at a much slower and consistent rate, about two pounds each week. Your body is beautiful, and it will grow however it deems perfect, I’m sure of it, just like your baby will be grown perfectly for your body too. 💜

About 20 weeks I got a little bump but I believe I had already gained weight by then. I gained 35lbs with my first and maybe 40lb with my second. I had tiny babies though, 6.1 lbs each. My sister in law loss weight during her pregnancy, she was very slim and tiny to begin with and her baby weighed more than mine when born.

18 weeks and just now seeing that I have a bump

I started gaining weight by around 12 weeks. I never lost any weight, but I was also underweight so I don’t know if that had anything to do with it or not

I was loosing weight in the beginning of pregnancy and at the end I had only gained a stone in weight , baby was 6lbs 4 , I didn’t have a bump until 27 weeks ! 2 baby too ! X

I started gaining around 20 weeks

I've been struggling with food since I've been pregnant. Even bread kind of grosses me out sometimes. I lost 10 pounds in the 1st trimester and now I'm on my 18th week and have only gained 2 pounds. Doctor said it was ok, so I'm trying not to worry.

My appetite was gone , the doctor said as long as ur eating little amounts often not to worry yourself , I’m back to 9 stone 3 days after having my 2nd x

It’s normal to be honest I was loosing weight in the first even towards the second trimester but once I hit atleast 24 weeks I had the perfect amount of weight on me you can also be loosing weight because if you got any morning sickness or use the bathroom a lot or even if you move around all the time like walking a lot or if you are always on your feet but I wouldn’t be to worried about it as long as you go to your appointment and everything is fine with the baby everything is good

It took me quite a while to have any sort of noticeable bump and weight gain. Even a little passed 20 weeks I had only gained maybe 5 pounds. I started quite rapidly gaining at the end of the second trimester and now I think I’m up 40 total at 37 weeks + 4 days

I lost weight initially and then didn’t start gaining until about 20 weeks even though I’m having twins, I’m now 33 weeks and I’ve only put on about 1st 10lbs and it’s definitely all babies!! X

I started noticing changes around 12 weeks but now I am 18 weeks almost 19 and I feel like my belly grew over night I can’t stop looking at it and asking my bf do I look pregnant yet🤣 (he says yes)

I lost 14 pounds my first trimester, and then weight gain was really slow after that. Probably didn’t see anything significant until around 20 weeks when I started to really show. I ended up gaining less than 20 pounds total.

Definitely lost weight in the first trimester & started noticing a ‘bump’ from 20 weeks xx

I lost weight in my first trimester due to feeling sick all the time and gained back a few pounds while in my second trimester.

I started at about 10 weeks

I gained 5 lb almost immediately - at the 6 week mark 😆

I didn’t really start gaining noticeable weight until my third trimester. I gained 25 pounds during my whole pregnancy. The last 15 was in the last few months I’d say.

I’m 26 weeks and haven’t gained anything, I’m visibly pregnant though x

Girl yes you are!! My 11:11 wish is a bump like yours 😹

I’m 20 weeks and still not gaining. I’ve actually lost 11 pounds 🥲 I was overweight initially and my doctor hasn’t said anything so I guess he isn’t worried? Wondering when I’ll start gaining as well. Had horrible HG the first few months and couldn’t keep food down.

2 replies

Omgggg woman the HG makes you wish for death 💀💀!! I ended up on a home IV line for it 😬 feel better soon!!!

It does. I went through such a depression. I knew I wanted this baby over anything else though so I held on and kept saying it’ll end soon. I feel better now. Hope it’s gone for good lol

I started gaining at about 12 weeks and have gained close to 20lbs now at almost 26 weeks. My midwife is happy with my gain.

You 👏look 👏 amazing👏

It’s normal to lose weight at first. I on the other hand started gaining immediately. I had no morning sickness. Actually I had this thing where I would get nauseous if I didn’t eat. I gained 65lbs and my OB team wasn’t worried- had a completely healthy pregnancy. I’ve thankfully lost it all but it scares me to get pregnant again because I gained so much weight. My stretch marks are no joke

I started gaining very slightly at 10 weeks and had zero sickness. I’m now 33 weeks and have put on just over a stone in total so far x

I put on about a stone overall & most of that was in the last 6w or so. I noticed a difference weight wise from around 5m i think. But i was bigger (uk14-16) before so may not have noticed as soon as a slimmer person.

I didn’t really start to look pregnant until my 2nd trimester....I’m at 38+4 and I’ve only gained 21lbs my whole pregnancy

My 3rd trimester.. I put on weight in the 1st trimester but it was in lockdown so I assumed it was just me gaining weight from not doing anything, I didn't know I was pregnant in my first trimester.. I lost weight in my second.. I think because I went back to work in a new job 12 hour shifts. My third trimester is where I've been packing on the pounds 🙃

Girl same! I mean I found out at 10 weeks but we almost let it get that far 😹 I thought the bloating and exhaustion and vomiting was nature flipping me off for starting my exercise plan again!!

I gained 4lbs at week 20, within the next 7 weeks I gained 7lbs
