Weight question

**Blonde Girl** · 14-08-2006, 03:45pm

No I am not asking for myself and no there isn't anything I need to tell you all but I have a work colleague with a bit of a weight worry so I thought I'd come and ask you girls.

"Do you remember how much weight you had put on at around week 18?
I am starting to get nervous, according to the books I have it should be around 5-6 kilos, whereas I reckon I have not put more than 2.5-3 Kilos"

Any answers girls?

I'd put on around 5-6lbs I think - don't know what that is in kilos though. I'm just over 35weeks now, and have put on 19lbs in total. I think it depends on your BMI to start with as mine was about 25 so slightly high - from asking the question on here and HB before it seems that people with a lower BMI at the beginning of pregnancy seem to put on more. I think I had plenty on my bum to nourish baby with already!

Had lost 6lbs by that stage- only put on about 8lbs in total overall

I'm in week 21 and I've put on 6lbs. I'd put on less with DD1 as I had bad morning sickness for the first 20 weeks. I made up for it though as I put on 1.5 stone by the end.

I'm nearly 17 weeks and have put on 2lb

Cheers girls, she sounds just fine then as in pounds she has put on around 6.

Thanks again -

I'm 22 weeks and have put on about 8lbs not sure where though!

I hadn't put on any weight by that stage. It started to go on after 29 weeks and I have put on just over a stone so far. I have 4 weeks to go.

I think I've put on 5/6 lbs not sure though. I'm trying to fattening the little fella up though as I'm eating for England

Well, just thought that I would share the theory of a low BMI=lots of weight in pregnancy.
I had a BMI of around 17/18 which is low for my weight/height.
I put on over 4 1/2 stones in pregnancy and was seriously overweight, had a tiddy baby of 6lb and 5 oz! so it wasnt all baby!

Happy to say though that the weight came over just after her first birthday.
