Welcome to Gurgle! x

I weighed 9st 2lb (i am 5ft 6") when i gave birth to my son, he weighed 6lb 14oz and was 10 days late - my midwife told me that altho i had a tiny bump, i would have an 8lb+ baby - the long and short of what i am trying to say is that they don't always get it right, so try not to be worrying, enjoy being pregnant x x x

Hiya, welcome to gurgle!! The measurement that your midwife took was to measure the height of your womb, not your baby so it's not really connected to weight gain as such. The morning sickness wouldnt've affected your baby's growrth either hun, they make sure they get everything they need from you even when you're not keeping much down. If you do still want to work out your bmi then I would do it from your pre pregnancy weight of 10 stone and go from there although you might have caught up with your dates by your next check up. I know my friend had to go for a growth scan cause she was measuring quite small but they told her that baby was fine and growing well and her little boy was a good weight at birth. As long as you are managing to eat well now you should be fine as you need an extra 300 calories a day in your third trimester. I hoped I've helped a bit and try not to worry, I'm sure evrything will be fine when you next see the midwife. Good luck x

Hii, im new to gurgle, i'm 28 weeks pregnant with a little girl :) i was jw if anyone could help me... i went for my 28 week check up and my midwife measured bump and she's measuring 25.5cm, she's giving me untill 31 weeks and if there isnt a change she's going to arrange another scan for us. Now, i think it may be something to do with my diet & was wondering if anyone knew a internet calculater or a website that could help me out as ive been struggling all day! i was 10 stone when i found out i was pregnant, due to morning sickness i went down to 9 stone at about 3 months, i'm now 7 months pregnant and have put that stone back on, so i'm now 10 stone again. its really confused me cause i dont know whats baby and whats my weight, do i class myself as 9 stone before pregnancy when trying to figure out my bmi or as 10 stone, if 10 stone then i've put nothing on :S. Anyone that could help? or offer any advice? Thank you :) xxxxx
