So what is your weight gain goal?
Did you start out underweight, normal, or overweight?
How much have you gained so far (If you want to share otherwise just say noyb)?
Have you changed your diet, activity levels etc?
------------
My goal is no more than 30lbs. I gained 28 with Ethan and gained the first 10lbs in the first trimester. So far I only gained 5lbs in the first trimester but I started out heavier (112 versus 104/106). I started at a normal BMI for this pregnancy around 19 or 20 for my height.
I have been trying to do some excercises but I get so physically exhausted. I have my daily routine of lunges, squats, wall pushups etc. but I don't do too much cardio. Trying to eat more fruit and hoping it helps with the constipation too.
I didn't excercise at all while pregnant with Ethan, so I feel good that I am at least doing relatively good at that but could definitely do more....

Re: Lets talk weight gain
15 - 25 lbs
Started out overweight
Gained -1 due to flu and morning sickness.
My diet has changed in that there are certain things I just can't eat. I also need to start exercising more because I just don't feel good.
MW told me 25-35 lbs
MW said I was underweight, every BMI index said I was normal just on the low side
at my last visit 2.5lbs, I don't weigh myself. My next appt is next week I'll let you know how much I've gained then
I was vegan before getting pregnant, now dairy is my best friend and I try to stick with lean proteins such as soy, chicken, and fish, but oh how pizza has been my downfall....
I started out overweight. I had been doing weight watchers for 1.5 years, had lost over 60 lbs, but was still 30 lbs above my goal weight (I was 175 when we got pregnant). I was very active, and training to climb Mt. St. Helens this summer (lots of high elevation hikes, running, strength training, etc), but obviously plans have now changed.
I am almost 17 weeks, and have already gained 20 lbs. I'm pretty bummed. I did not barf once though, only had nausea.To make the nausea go away, I basically ate anything and everything, especially carbs. That's why I packed on the pounds. I always ate very sensibly (because WW), but my body just needed something else. Going from a calorie restricted diet, to a diet where I wasn't watching much, is definitely a part of the weight gain. I also had zero energy, and could not work out anymore.
In the 2nd trimester so far, I've started eating a bit better, I'm not as ravenously hungry as I was the first trimester. I've also started to become more active, though doing and "easy" rated hike is still hard for me. I was doing 12 milers rated difficult before. I walk my dog a lot more, and I've started doing water aerobics a couple days a week.
my doctor recommended between 25-30lbs.. about a lb/week. i started off underweight.
i had a hard time gaining weight in my first trimester, only gained 1lb from my 8wk check-up to my 12wk checkup. since then i've gained about 3lbs, so i'm on track w/ the 1lb/wk.
i try not to weigh myself too often at home b/c i get stressed if i'm gaining too much or too little. i'm looking forward to seeing what the doctor's scale reads when i see him again in a little over a week.

I was right in the middle of my BMI for my height/ weight pre pregnancy and I am also a "lifetime" member of the WW.... (weight watchers for those not in the ww clique) which I am no longer attending due to pregnancy of course.
I am hoping to gain the suggested 25-30lbs with my pregnancy and thought that I wouldn't have any issues with that.... But b/c of nausea and whatnot with the first tri, I comforted myself with carbs and lots of them. I gained 10 lbs in my first tri and am trying to eat a healthier more balanced diet going forward... so we'll see...
goal would be around 30 lbs. I gained 37 with DD#1 and would like to gain less this time, but we'll see.
I started out a bit underweight this time. 10 lbs lighter then where I was w/ DD#1.
I've gained almost 15 lbs already. I blame that on being underweight when I started
Nope, no change. I worked out w/ DD#1 but I just don't have the energy to this time.. and we've been so busy moving, out of town guest, etc... Plus chasing DD#1 around and picking her up all the time IS a workout!
