Pregnancy Weight Gain.
I saw some friends a few days ago who I haven't seen for a while and while I have my bump they all complimented me on how little weight I've gained anywhere else.
Rather then be delighted this has concerned me as I am 23 weeks tomorrow and have put on half a stone.. nearly. (10st previously) I don't usually weight myself so hadn't really paid attention until it was pointed out to me.
I'm still suffering from morning sickness, and have never gotten my appetite back but have been eating more then when I was REALLY suffering with morning sickness.
Bump is nicely sized btw, and baby is nice and active, She's my first. I know it sounds like a stupid thing to be worried about but I'd rather struggle to lose the weight after the baby then her not get the things she needs but I stay skinny and never question it.
Little concerned that I should have put more weight on, I'm basically the exact same size and shape except with bump, was/is anyone else the same? I'm concerned it's a sign of something I need to speak to midwife about but it's not the easiest thing to google so I'm a bit stumped.
Thank you in advance.

I was a size 14 pre preg, mostly hips than tum though and have ended up in size 12 maternity bottoms because 14 is way too baggy on my legs and bum! As long as you are eating sensibly I really wouldn't worry about it. I just eat when I am hungry and try to keep it as healthy as possible, with the occasional treat when baby wants of course ;\) xx
Hope this helps!
I don't mind tbh... need all the help I can get!
If baby is measuring ok, active and hb sounds good, then there isn't much you can do, short of stuffing your face with junk food! But then that won't be good for either of you!
I would maintain a healthy diet, throwing in the odd treat and enjoy looking fabulous! xx
im due on saturday and lost weight all the way through until about 32 weeks before i put any of it back on and im now only about 8 or 9lbs heavier than what i was at the start and havent put weight on anywhere else other than my bump....i was still in my own clothes at 32 weeks and bump pretty neat but midwife never been concerned about babies size and i have had a few private growth scans for reassurance and all have been well...all i have had is comments on how small i am and how i dont look about to drop etc etc i am a bit worried baby will be small but i just have to trust the midwife...we all grow at different rates and everyones bodies work differently as well...from the back you cant tell im pregnant just the front and side....
Lx
T 35+5 xx
This time i have lost 9lb and have stayed at that weight so far....
With my son i gained 4st and ate everything lol this time i have been so sick and careful i am hoping to not gain much xxx
Two days after I gave birth I stepped on the scales and had lost 2 stone 2 lbs... so it was ALL bump!! Have since put weight on again :roll: and went on a diet before falling pregnant a second time. I'm only 6+4 so haven't put any weight on yet, but hoping I won't gain anything other than in my bump this time.
My friend just had a little girl and she didn't gain any weight other than her bump; its completely natural. Some women gain weight all over, others lose weight (if you discount the bump!) and others (like me first time round) only gain in the bump!
everyone carries differently, and everyone's bodies cope differently with pregnancy. im all bump and just about the same size apart from bump xx
wity my ds i had gain 3st and this on have lost a sone so who knows lol
