weight gain...or lack of?

ConJos_love

Hi ladies,
I'm am a worry wart by nature so when I'm in the first trimester I'm a little stressed about everything. Right now I am 11 weeks and I. Have not gained anything in fact I've lost a little bit. Anyone else on the same boat?

I think it depends on the person, my last pregnancy I started around 150 and my CNM told me not to gain any weight in the first tri and only gain 15-20 lbs overall.  I ended up gaining about 30lbs and then I saw why, it gave me horrible sciatic pain!

I'm almost 10 weeks and just have normal weight fluctuation (2-3lbs up or down) day to day from. Y starting point. At this point with my last pregnancy though, I had gained about 5-7 lbs already.

I'm 12 weeks and am down 5lbs since my bfp. The doctor isn't concerned about it as long as I'm hydrated and able to eat enough.

Yep. I'm 11 weeks and I haven't gained an ounce. I also lost my IVF weight (only about 2-3 pounds). I am slightly underweight according to BMI, but none of my doctors are concerned about it. This is just my normal size. I'm sure they will want me to gaining weight start this month coming up.

But I agree with PP - it never hurts to ask your doctor about your concerns and their recommendations!

I am 12.5 weeks and have lost 10 pounds.  Doctor is not concerned..wants me to gain 25-35 and assuming that will come in the next 6 months.  As long as your doctor is okay I would not worry.

I wish! I'm already up 7 lbs! I gained 38 lbs with DD and I think I'm on the same pace.

At my appt Friday I was 13 weeks, 3 days and have gained 2 so far. My midwife hasn't even mentioned anything about my weight so far. I wouldn't be concerned. You'll gain eventually.

I'm at 10 weeks and might be up about a pound. I feel bigger, though!,

Totally normal. I've lost a few pounds during the first trimester of all of my pregnancies, and my doctor has not been concerned at all. She said that it's common due to both morning sickness and the fact that most of us take better care of ourselves while pregnant. You'll gain it back--and then some soon!

I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained a single pound, in fact I've lost 5! It's a bit surprising because I eat so much all the time....

I've lost 10. Most weight gain will not happen until the later trimesters.

I am 10 weeks and have lost about a pound (the scale moves a lot), but I feel bigger! My pants and bras feel tighter!

i haven't gained anything yet either, although i look like i've gained about 15lb.  i hear it's pretty common to lose weight in the 1T, especially if you've got bad MS.

YaMrWhite

Ditto the little gain but looking like I've gained more lol. My two girlfriends came over last night and were very confused.

NatureLovers

I've lost 11lbs due to morning sickness.

I havent gained any weight and have actually lost a pants size. No one is worried.

I haven't gained any weight although my stomach is definitely bigger.

kayham12

I also haven't gained any weight

SRose1005

I haven't gained or lost any weight but I feel like I've gained 10 pounds what with all the bloating. Ick.

I lost a few lbs. and was a little freaked out by it but I have heard that as long as you gain in the second trimester, it's ok.

tkr7c9

I have gained about 3-4 lbs but I look like I have gained 10.

No worries, 1-5 lbs is normal for FT. However it is common to lose FT d/t ms according to all data. If you are eating enough and keeping down liquids, your doctor will tell you if you arent gaining enough. Go ahead and ask at appointment, or call the nurse if you're very worried. They have your file and know you better :-)

AlfiesMOM

Same! I lost two lbs actually but I gained one back recently. I am really fine with it, I know in the end the weight will come on! I haven't really changed my eating habits, I figured if I feel dizzy or hungry I will eat but until them I am more than satisfied with my normal intake!
