11.5 Wks & Haven't Gained a Pound, But Eating Like a Cow!

eloffa

I am 11.5 weeks pregnant with twins and have been eating like a cow for the last 2 months.  I have read how important it is to gain weight in the first trimester when you are pregnant with twins, but I haven't even gained a pound.  Has anybody else had this experience?  Is it something to be worried about? Thanks!

it's actually very common. eat healthy and don't worry about it.

I think I gained one pound in the first 12 weeks and I only had mild nausea.

At my 19 week appointment, I had gained 20 pounds.

As long as your doctor isn't concerned, than I wouldn't worry.

I gained minimal weight in the first trimester, but in the second trimester, I had no problem gaining at all.

I lost weight in the 1st tri with my 3. My Dr was not to worried now at almost 23 weeks I have gained close to 20lbs the 5 I lost and then 15 more.  I think it is normal to not gain that much in 1st tri.

I have the same thing and I was concerned, but the doctors weren't.  Do you have another u/s soon?  They were both measuring right on track when I went last week for an u/s, so if they're growing well then I'm not going to complain one bit about no weight gain!

By the end of 1st trimester I had only gained 2lbs. By the end of my pregnancy, I had gained 80lbs. Don't sweat it.
