I've only put on about 3lb but I've had really bad morning sickness

I've put on 14lb and I'm nearly 16 weeks I'm so annoyed at myself as I wanted to keep my weight down cos I was already a some overweight. .. my neighbour put on a stone and looked lovely baby was 8lb! So yes that sounds fine to me. .. Your be back pre pregnancy weight in no time

So long as you're eating healthily and gaining steadily you can't worry about your weight gain too much as so much contributes to it. I ate really healthily with my first pregnancy and gained 3.5 stone!! After delivery my midwife told me I had a massive placenta which probably weighed a few pounds by itself plus I had lots of fluid and a 8lb 9oz bruiser - I was back to pre-pregnancy weight in 6 weeks. (I must admit that the cake has been calling a bit more this time so I'm avoiding the scales like the plague!)

16lbs well in to your third trimester sounds reasonable to me - keep a steady gain in mind and you'll be fine

I'm 5ft9, 37 weeks pregnant, was 10st4 to begin and now 14st7. Eaten healthily throughout (i have drank lots of milk though) I can honestly say the weight gain doesn't bother me and the midwife isn't concerned either. Sure I will shift it pounce baby is here

I think they say that if you are a good weight to start with, generally you would gain max 2 stone over the full term, so you're doing fine

Babymother - I'm the same, I've put on about 13lbs and I'm 16 weeks. Hoping it's more fluid than fat as I've been eating healthy

Sounds normal Hun, I lost around 7lb between 8 and 13 weeks then have slowly put back on I'm 33 weeks and gained 10lb I'm not too bothered baby is healthy that's all that matters xx

I lost a bit due to morning sickness but I am 28 weeks and put about 12lb on xxx

Woah, I've put on 27 pounds and am 24 weeks I was 8.5 stone pre pregnancy so was under my bodies healthy weight as I was unwell. They say if your BMI is normal pre pregnancy then you should be looking to gain between 25-35 pounds but it varies so much!

34 weeks and ave put on 2.5 stone I'm eating healthy but I have a big baby due to gestational diabetes

I have not even measured myself up for weight - i think the dress size going up is already a disappointment so i dont want to shock myself again. But there are some online pregnancy weight calculators and it seems you are doing quite well and normal !

i'm 27 weeks today and i've put on about 8kg (which i think is about 17Ibs). I don't look big - except the belly, don't feel that big so it seems like a lot to me, but like the others are saying, the baby is fine so i'm happy! xx
