Hello mummas,

Congrats on all of us reaching the third trimester! I know these are troubling times (with the #virusthatshallnotbenamed) but I’m wondering if anyone else has one of the same concerns I do.

I’m a bit concerned about how little weight I’ve gained during this pregnancy..

I’m almost 33 weeks but I should start off by saying that my midwife said she wasn’t concerned, but she is quite a new midwife (graduated about 2.5 years ago).

started off weighing 66kg (145lbs) and 165cm (5’5”) and gained steadily for the first trimester, but have been stuck at 73kg (161lbs) for the last couple of months. Pregnancy websites say I should have gained 10-12kg (22-26lbs) by now.

I have been eating ANYTHING I want throughout (trying to eat fruit and veggies but let’s be honest, often we just want delicious carbs).

Has anyone else not gained what they should have?
