Weight

Hi ladies

I'm just 21 weeks and my scale is really not my friend anymore!
My weight is shooting up like crazy.
I've gained almost 7kg by now and I'm curious if
this is normal.

Is anyone else in this stage and how many kg have you gained?

Cheers

    I weighed 57 kg at 21 weeks and now I weigh almost 69 kg. Normally, you gain between 12 and 15 kg.

    Don't let all those averages about weight and stuff get to you!
    Every person, every body is different, just like every pregnancy.
    7kg at 21 weeks is perfectly fine!
    If it starts going out of control, the midwife or gynecologist will step in...

    I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have only gained 4kg so far, which seems like way too little, but the baby is growing perfectly.

    Good luck!

    What your little one says, don't let averages get to you. As long as you're eating healthily and with variety, there's nothing wrong. If you really don't feel confident, you can always ask if they can check your sugar levels. Some gain more weight than others. Some gain a lot early in the pregnancy, while others gain later on.

    You're halfway through your pregnancy, so your weight should be about right by then. There's nothing wrong with gaining 20 kilos, as long as you're eating well and healthily. Apparently, your body just needs a bit more. Try to let it go.
