Apparently now I am 155. Started from 139 when I found out I was pregnant. That's quite a bit. I'm a day away from 16 weeks. Have an ultrasound today so maybe I will fond out if my sister was right about "twins" I hope not. Lol. Being a single parent to one child will be hard enough. Lol. But I will be happy either way.
I'm 16 weeks & 5 days.. When I first got pregnant I was 150 lbs.. My last appointment at 14 weeks & 6 days, I was 161 lbs.. Needless to say, I gained a lot, despite throwing up almost everyday since 6 wks pregnant till about 15 wks. I'm 24 & 5"4 incase that tells you anything about what I should be gaining
I'll be honest - I'm too scared to weigh myself!! I'm not overweight so I guess I'm not too worried, but I definitely feel a tad plumper. I'm 15 weeks - lots of MS up to around 12 weeks, definitely made up for it when my appetite returned.
I'm due Oct 29 but lurk here often because It's likely the baby could be a Nov baby. Anyway, I'm almost 18 weeks and have gained about 2 lbs. however I started overweight at 178 and I'm only 5'3 so my doctor is happy with my weight so far.
No significant weight gain to worry about here, at 14 weeks only 1.5-2 pounds extra weight but it's not weight I am worried about! I feel like I have so much pudge around my belly, it can't possibly be baby yet, my lower belly hasn't increased much. However I seem to have grown a significant pudge all over my belly including upper. I have been bloated, sure, but now the extra fat is there even when I have no bloat like early morning. Anyone else has that? I've never been a girl to carry weight on my belly so it just worries me.
I am 17 weeks, always had a flat belly...no 6 pack but smooth and flat (and a waist). My "pudge" started around 14 weeks almost like a perma-bloat but really high...right at my navel and i lost my waist. This week it definitely went from "freak of nature" to "firm baby bump" in a matter of days. So crazy i never had a small cute bump i went from nothing to an impressive bump over night! Glad to hear someone else is experiencing the same limbo!
Oh and when the pudge came on I had no weight gain to go with it. I have been running more though and my appetite is all but gone so force feeding myself whatever I can manage. But that wicked midsection pudge stage was super annoying.
I'm 5' 4" and was about 125 pre-pregnancy (some days a little less) - I lost 10 pounds by 13 weeks because of how sick I was, which was actually really scary for me. I was 17 weeks yesterday and had an appointment and I'm back to 124.5!! I felt so happy and so relieved.
I'm also someone who battled disordered eating in the past, so my biggest concern is not necessarily the numbers of my weight gain, but my perspective on my weight gain. I live in Milan, Italy (fashion capital) and have had multiple people praise me that I'm 4 months pregnant and barely showing - I try to immediately throw away their thoughts because I believe they come from an unhealthy perspective. My doctor said it's good that I'm back at my pre-pregnancy weight but that I gained a lot of weight for one month and for the next few months it should just be 1 kilo per month (2.2lbs). I'm a bit worried that she may bring in the culture around us to her advice, but I'll try to both consider her perspective and continue to live under my recovery philosophy: eat small amounts frequently, don't deprive myself if I crave something but have a small amount of it and see how it goes, make sure I get a balance of carbs, veggies, fruits, and proteins, and DONT LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.
I'm glad that there is a post about this. I am almost 15W and every time I step on the scale it seems to be going down instead of up. That's fine since I have the weight to lose but also scary since I know I should be gaining soon, not losing. But my appetite seems to be way less than pre-pregnancy and I can't eat as much without feeling full and exhausted.
At my last appointment I was up 5.5 lbs at 13 weeks. I have a midwife appointment on Friday and will be 17w3d. I was going to have tacos for dinner Thursday night, maybe I'll just have fresh air instead
At my 16 week appointment I was up about 11lbs from my starting weight. I regularly fluctuate between 5 and 10lbs when not pregnant so I'm not overly worried and neither is my doctor. She hasn't even brought weight up.
I drink a lot of water..some days I weigh more and other days I don't.. I don't even know what my exact weight is.. Some days I weigh 5-10lbs heavier or lighter depending on what time of the day.. Just confused
@feebee21, that weight fluctuation is totally normal for anyone especially someone who is pregnant! That's why I always find it funny when someone says they lost or gained like 2 pounds b/c weight literally can fluctuate even more than that depending on the time of day you weigh yourself. That's why they always say it's best to weigh yourself when you first wake up before eating and do it at the same time each day:)
I had taken some weight pre-pregnancy, like 8 to 10 pounds, nobody but me saw the difference... (christmas in france, can't be avoided) And since I got pregnant I took half a pound... I am not worried at all, but it is crazy how my body shape is so different, between the bloat at the beginning and the bump now. I always feel huge. I was not expecting it to bother me so fast.
Also I realize that the fat went from my thighs to my belly (had a flat stomach before, but some fat in the thighs, I was 6"1 for 149 lbs) but even though I have a bump, I can feel a little layer of fat on top of it, like a quarter inch, weird. Protecting baby ?
Our body are changing. Weird and scary. I am also jealous of you girls taking so many cups of bra lol ! I fit mine fully, but that's it. I don't need new bras at all (I hope I will !).
13 weeks & I'm up 3 pounds, doctor says he wants me to gain a pound a week from here on out. I also work out 2-3 days a week but def eating more carbs and craving sugar!
16 weeks 5 days and I am up 12-13 lbs. It's all belly and I feel pretty good. Lots of energy! Happy to be in the second trimester, that's for sure. Not stressing about my weight, just really want a healthy baby.
6 lbs at 15 weeks ... But I lost a little before being pregnant so it could be more like 4. I think I finally see some sort of bump... But I thought that before and it was just bloat !
These posts make me feel better. I panicked a little when I weighed in this morning and I've gained at least 7lb. I think because I know I've eaten a little bit more than I should. I've reigned it in now and eating clean healthy food. Not going to the gym anywhere near as much as before so definitely need to watch it a little. No more bread or processed food! Feel much better for it too :-)
14+5 weeks. I went to the doctor today and I have lost 5lbs since my appointment last month :-( Damn nausea. I was initially worried but my doctor told me it was fine. I'm not exactly a skinny minny anyway, size 12 pre preggo.
18 weeks tomo, depending on scale have gained 3-5 lbs. First timer so not sure what to expect but seems in the middle of everyone on here although I am further along since due date right now is oct 30.
14 weeks and have gained nothing. Started at a normal weight and have been starving since week 7, but I feel like I am eating for two grown men. At first it was fun, but now it's almost 11 PM and can't sleep because of hunger pains. Excuse me while I go eat an entire cow. Help before I create a global food shortage. Anyone else?
Uh, up 7 lbs at 13.5 weeks. I never get MS though either and gain 5 always in first tri. With my first I gained 30 lbs and 2nd 35lbs, hoping I am not bigger then that!
I'm 17 weeks and haven't stepped on the scales other than when my midwife weighed me at 8 weeks. I'm eating healthy but not denying myself of anything I fancy. The stretch marks that have appeared on my ass overnight are telling me I'm gaining weight..but I've never had a peachy bum so I'm pretty ok with this!
On 15 week. ..first 2 n half month lost 15lbs and since den with extra effort I manage to gain 4lbs. ..but im already overweight ao scared to gain too much
At my 11 week appointment I had lost 6 lbs from morning sickness, and at my 15 week appointment I had gained one pound back (but I also had a big lunch before they weighed me, that pound could very well have been lunch!) I was SUPER bloated around my BFP, so the 6 lbs lost could've just been water weight, so I don't even know if I'm up or down, really.
I worry constantly about eating ... I was on a very strict diet and work out routine before I got pregnant ..I was actually getting ready to compete again when I found out I was pregnant and had to pull out of the competition ... I struggle with worrying about gaining weight cause I'm very petite anyways
Started at 138lbs and just left my 16 week appointment and weighed in at 144. So up 6 pounds. I was worried I wasn't gaining enough but my doctor is happy. Baby boy is measuring 4 days ahead also #-o
Up 7 at 14w 5d, thought it was a lot more. My pants are still unhappy about it. I think I'll feel a lot better once there is a bump instead of just a pooch. Waist line is gone...
I'm 15 w 3 days and up 20 LBS! I started at 140 and weighed in at 160 yesterday. My DR just keeps saying "glad to see you're still gaining" at every appt, while my DH says I'm eating for a family (not just for two).
After my eye-opening weigh-in yesterday, I committed to cutting out my second lunch (crazy, I know) and my nightly bowl of ice cream. I'm secretly hoping my due date is a month off though so I can feel less guilty about my hugeness...
Re: Where is everyone at with weight gain?
