quick question, for those that are near the end of their first trimester, how much weight have you put on? And what is considered normal? I'm starting to worry that I'm overdoing the eating somewhat as my stomach has definitely grown!!

None.. I lost 10lb in the first 6 weeks and have yet to regain that yet... but I will and probably another 3 stone knowing my luck!

my bump is huge compared to the size of the baby

the hormones produced in pregnancy which loosen the ligaments for easier delivery also relax muscles.. so you get constipated and a 'relaxed' tummy.. Bloating is also very common in the early months.. I found the bloating went at about 12 weeks and was replaced by baby.

I wouldn't worry about putting on too much weight unless you are eating nothing but junk food.. make sure you are eating healthily and the weight will be easier to shift, your bp lower and both you and baby healthier! If you are reay concerned you could do a small amount of non-impact exercise....

about 2.5 stone throughout pregnancy is average.. but how many people are average? Your will put on what you do.. don't stress it.. and definitely don't start a diet!!!

thanks pigpen, my widwife said about 1 1/2 st to 2st. I'm not going to diet just worried that id put on too much weight already, which i probably have will just have to keep an eye on it i guess, do think my stomach is a lot of bloating as it gets even bigger when I eat something. I guess i just worry about being huge as I am rather short!

im 16 weeks and have put on 2 stone already so need to cut out the crap now most of the sickness has gone. although can i add i also gave up smoking when i fount out i was pregnant so reckon at least a stone of that is from snacking .

this is the most weight i have ever put on when pregnant

Hey mirror super well done on giving up smoking!!! Really impressed, have been watching that misbehaving mums and how most of them give up giving up at the first hurdle because it's so hard, but obviously not you, so yaaaaaay for you!!!

Well done again - I don't smoke and never have but I know its hard to quit.

That the battle my OH promised - to be smoke free by the time bubba arrives!

My OH stopped last March when i was pregnant with squeak.. bless him though he asked permission to have his last couple when we were at his sisters one evening.

Well done to him!

He's off to his doctors in a couple of weeks so hopefully he can get some help then - and I hope he starts sooner rather than later cos I can imagine coping with me being heavily pregnant will be interesting if he's trying to give up too!

Are there anymore scans booked ladies?

WOW there were loads on that list a month ago.. looks like almost everyone has moved on.. still no word from RWB I do hope she is ok.

I'm 16 weeks now!! Where does it fly too?

I am still starving constantly though but I am still bf Squeak as well and having looked around on t'web I have discovered I am 'allowed' 700 more calories a day.. so that is the equivalent of 2 meals for me! I averaged 800-900 calories a day before I had Squeak! So to get to 2700 is MASSIVE for me.. :eek: i don't think i'll get there!
