Anyone else gaining this much?

LacyNeal

I'm a lurker and just wondered if anyone else out there has gained more than ten pounds in the first trimester. I'm about 12 weeks and I've gained about 12 pounds. I've read a couple other posts about weight gain and it seems like everyone else stays around 5 pounds or less, or even loses! I haven't increased my eating. I wasn't overweight to begin with (maybe 5 or so pounds) and I know a lot of this is bloat, but still!

No. I have a weigh in tomorrow but as of yesterday I was 116.4. I am going to try to not gain more than the 25-30 pounds that my OB recommended.

Just lurking but I gained 15 my first tri!!  I had no morning sickness - just nausea and that was cured by Carbs!! Lots of them. And so 15 lbs in first tri!!

I wouldn't worry about it.  Everyone is different!

I have been pigging out on junk for the past few weeks, so I'm in denial (not stepping on a scale).

I gained 12 lbs in the first 12 weeks with DD. I don't want to weigh myself this time around:)

Haven't weighed myself recently, but the last time I weighed myself (I think a couple of weeks ago) I gained at least 8 pounds.  I'm only 8 weeks along!

Hmm, not sure how to explain that.  By the end of my first trimester last time, I think I had actually lost about 4 lbs.
