Just stepped on the scale :-(

I'm a fairly small person and don't gain weight easily.  Last week at my dr's appointment I'd gained 2 lbs since I found out I was pg.  I just stepped on the scale and it says I've gained 4lbs since last week!  Yikes!  It looks like I need to get more serious about exercising on a more regular basis and eating healthier!  I'm not saying it's a bad thing that I've gained 6 lbs so far, but 4 lbs in a week can't be good!

  • I would bet that you'll have weeks like this and weeks where you don't put on any at all.  I wouldn't worry about it too much!  Just make sure you're eating as healthily as you can and exercising when you can!

  • Your scale might also be different from your doctor's.  I know mine is 2 pounds off from theirs.  I always weigh myself before I go just for comparison, and the difference is always the same.

  • Weight fluctuates, I wouldn't worry. I have gained at least 15 so far!

  • baby isprobably going through a growth spurt right now and you probably won;t gain anything for a few weeks. I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Your body is going to gain weight as it needs. As long as your are eating healthy and not gorging you will be fine. Besides, your scale and your Dr's scale are probably different.

    You are only 15 wks....don't stress out and stay off the scale.

  • I'm sure it's fine...we are supposed to gain weight!  I don't have a scale at home, and it's kinda nice to only find out how much I weigh when I'm at the dr.  Except of course when my MIL makes me step on hers because I 'look so much bigger than last time she saw me' :)
