weight gain during 1st trimester

MK8415

Is it normal to have gained 12 lbs at 11 weeks? I was told that you are only supposed to gain 10 lbs in the first 20 weeks.

There is no normal as every pregnancy and women is different. I lost 10lb by 11 weeks.

Ask your doctor. They are the only one that can answer this for you. Weight gain guidelines depend on the individual person and their level of health and BMI before pregnancy.

I lost 5 lbs in the first trimester. Every woman is different. Like PPs said, talk to your doctor.

You should ask your doctor. My non-medical opinion is that 12 lbs is a lot for only 11 weeks, unless you are underweight. Otherwise, remember that you aren't actually eating for two. Make healthy choices, watch your portions and stay active.
