Hey ladies..
ive gained 1.7kgs throughout my pregnancy so far..and today i weighed myself and ive put on a wopping 2.5kgs in 8 days. i weighed myself a bit over a week ago on the same scales i usually weigh myself on. anyway.. i was pretty pleased with my weight gain so far, all im worried about is the sudden part to it. anyone had the same thing happen? is this just completely normal? i dont want to ring my midwife, she might think im just obsessed with my weight or something! ------------- Mummy to two beauties...

COMPLETELY NORMAL! I put on a lot of weight between about 22 and 26 weeks, I would have loved to have only gained 1.7kg up until then!  I probably gained that in the first few weeks with the amount I was eating!

It could also be a time of day thing or you may have eaten/drunk more before weighing yourself. Also this heat may not be helping. Wouldnt worry about it tho.  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

i wouldn't worry about it being over 8 days. If it had been over 1 day then I would be worried. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yea I second the others , its normal, best thing to do now is throw those scales away, I stopped once I hit 70kgs its just to painful to watch!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
