Weight

Do you mean physical weight, like on the scales? Or looking like you’ve gained weight elsewhere on your body?

Sorry wasn’t clear at all! Looking like you’ve gained weight elsewhere x

With my first I gained 6kg total, had lost it all and another 4kg by 12 days PP. I wasn’t super skinny to begin with but not heavy either. with this baby I’m so far gained 4kg and I’m 25 weeks so will probably put on a bit more with this one but I’m not bothered tbh, baby puts the weight on you it needs to, however big or small!

I’m the exact same. I’m all baby bump despite putting on 17 kg 😅 I even mentioned it to my midwife who commented that it’s all bump/baby. God knows where it’s all gone 🙈

Thank you, I know everyone is so different but I really expected to put on the weight elsewhere. I’m quite small in general so was actually looking forward to putting on a bit of weight 😂

I’ve picked up a lot and did with my first too, but you can’t see it as noticeable as I’m naturally slim and my body type stays the same. Just my bump growing 😅 I can notice some areas picking up weight but others wouldn’t notice as much

I’m a chunky girl pre pregnancy but so far (26 weeks) during I’ve only put on about 6lbs/2.7kg and it’s definitely all at my bump. I’ve been asked at work if I’ve lost weight as my face looks slimmer. Definitely expecting to put on more as baby grows more in 3rd trimester

You’ve still got a while to go as well. Usually in 3rd trimester is when mums gain most weight -same as baby. You’ll probably find after baby is here your appetite will increase and your body will be slightly different proportioned as well (wider hips bigger boobs etc). Not always but you might still find you’ve gained some weight even if you don’t look like you have. You might look proportioned to your bump right now hahax

Thanks ladies. That is true, I guess third trimester is baby growing so will be interesting to see if there are any changes then. Does your appetite increase after baby is here too? Appetite is big at the moment but just assumed it’s where baby must need more food to grow 😅

I dont tend to gain much the first 2 trimesters. The last trimester, i seem to gain 2-3lbs a week 😱😅 This is my third and so far it's been fairly consistent! Seem to gain a total of 25-30lbs each time

If you’re breastfeeding then absolutely hahah you’ll be constantly starving and thirsty !
