Hello ladies, we have our dating scan on thursday and will be about 14 + 3 weeks. My wife has been hunting about various websites etc and has found one which mentions that by 15 weeks she should have gained 2.2 - 4.5 kg (4.5-9lbs approx). My wife reckons she has only put on a couple of pounds however is getting a bump.

Does anyone agree with these figures or should it be lbs and not kilos?

As we are pre scan we are really nervous hoping that everything is going to be ok with our first baby. My wife is still not convinced she is pregnant until she sees the scan on thursday!!

Thanks for any input.

Hello Dad2b

Firstly congratulations!  This is my 1st baby i'm also unsure of what to expect. When it was my dating scan I also went and had a look on different web sites for information.... However some web sites scared me to death making me worry about what they might find or not find! Luckly everything was ok. The only weight I have put on is baby weight so by the sounds of it your wife may be lucky like me. Best thing for you both to do is sit back and enjoy the pregnacy and not to worry, I'm in my 26th week and I feel fantastic any worries I have now I ask my mid wife and not look on line!!! 

Hi ya...i'm expecting my 2nd and i'm nearly 15 weeks. With my 1st i gained weight quite fast, with this 1 i have actually lost weight!!! I know its due to summer and not wanting to snack. I have got a little bump but it is quite high so me and my partner recokon that is where everythings been pushed up. I wouldn't worry about how much weight your going to put on because everyone is differant and puts weight on at differant times.

Take care and enjoy every moment because before you know it baby is hear.

the internet can be a great thing but can also be a great worry!! i had an early dating scan a few days ago due to bleeding(everything is ok)but my baby measures 8.4cm yet on the net it tells me it will between 4-5cm. so much is not right and causes too much concern that should not be there! my 1st i hardly put on weight at all, with my 2nd i gained it reasonably throughout the pregnancy, yet now im carrying my 3rd iv put on half a stone in 11weeks!

I agree with the others that don't go by the book too much and everyone is different. I had put on 3lbs by my 12 week scan and nearly 3 stone by the full 9 months, some only put on 2 stone, the next 4 so it doesn't matter really as long as everyone is healthy. Good luck! Jac & Holly 19 months x
