Do you ladies think 22lbs is OK weight gain for 26 weeks preggie? I was overweight already though…

@hawkie75, my midwife told me to expect to gain a lb a week throughout the pregnancy in the least so i wouldn't worry hun.. once baby is here it will all go :) xx

@barnold, aw thanks Hun, think I'm just worried because I'm weighty anyway, but as long as I'm not gaining silly amounts each week I guess I'm doing ok?

@hawkie75, i was weighty beforehand and by 28wks had only gained 4lb which i was soo happy about.. then at 34wks id gained an extra 13lb lol i haven't got them to weigh me since 😂 try not to worry about it.. midwife would soon speak up if she was worried 😀 plus as i keep being told, we wont have time to eat or sleep as be running around once baby is here so we'll lose it easy haha xx

I've put on 17lbs in 23weeks Hun so probably on the same weight gain train as you! @hawkie75 xx

@emmaelaine, @barnold thanks ladies! Unfortunately weight does not just 'drop' off me after baby lol I'm not that lucky ha ha ...I had to put a lot of effort in after my son 12 years ago, I lost 4.5 stones at weight watchers but it took me just over a year! Guess I'll just have to get stuck in to the healthy eating and diet plan once I've recovered from section xxx

I'm gonna join slimming world after baby is born as I'm a nightmare at eating. I either over eat or under eat. I don't think I've ever actually been healthy with my eating until now I'm pregnant!! I know I still eat too much but I'm so hungry all the time! Xxx

There's some great websites for calculating weight gain in pregnancy. It calculates based on your height and pre pregnancy weight. Google pregnancy weight gain calculators

@homely.mummy.no2, @emmaelaine thanks Hun I'll hand a look. I'm re joining slimming world after she's born too xxx

I hear the secret is breast feeding. Although I ended up thinner than pre pregnancy weight after my first (in that pregnancy I gained 3 stone!) and I had bottle fed.
