Weight Gain?

JTGochnour

I'm just curios how much weight people gain each trimester ... I was very, very sick my first trimester, and went backwards (lost about 15 pounds), at my 20 week mark I was my pre-pregnancy weight, now at 25 weeks, I've gained 10 pounds.

How much weight have you gained each trimester?? 

I know every pregnancy is different, but what should I expect??

First tri I gained 0lbs.

As of now, 24 weeks, I am up 13lbs.

My BMI before pregnancy was 25.5 so I started a little overweight.

I'm also expecting twins and my dr. Recommended that I gain between 3040lbs.

By 16 weeks I had not gained or lost any weight.
At 20 weeks I had gained 5lbs.
At 24 weeks I was up to a total weight gain of 15lbs.
Now at almost 26 weeks I'm down to a total weight gain of 13lbs.

I was active until about 20 weeks when I went on bedrest so I think some of the weight has stuck around due to not being active anymore.
My doctor is not at all concerned with the gain amount because at almost 26 weeks each baby is weighing almost 2lbs.

Dr. Thinks I'll make it to 34 weeks which will put me at an est. date of delivery to be feb 20. I find it hard to believe that I could possibly gain almost 30 more lbs in 8 weeks but I guess anything is possible!

I lost 10 pounds in my first trimester because I was so sick, then I gained 15 pounds by week 15, then last month at 24 weeks I gained 8 more pounds.

total weight gain of 5 lbs - never lost any.

I'd say three lbs in the first tri and two lbs so far in second tri

So far I've gained 20lbs but I feel like its belly and boobs.  I've been eating like crazy so we will see how much I've gained at the doctors next week.

Up 3 lbs total. I lost around 10is in the beginning. I'm average size, but didnt lose all the baby weight from my 22 month old so I'm thankful I'm not packing it on like I did last time.

In the first trimester I didn't put on any weight.

As of today, 23 weeks 2 days I have put on about 8 lbs.

I started off overweight and lost quite a bit in the first tri. As of this morning, I am still down about half a pound from my pre-pregnancy weight at 24w1d.

I've gained 22 lbs at almost 26 weeks. I didn't really keep track week to week. I'd guess about 6 lbs in the 1st trimester and 16 lbs in the 2nd trimester. Some of the extra weight in the 2nd trimester was from the cruise DH and I went on plus the holidays. I'm hoping to keep it to 1 lb/week through the 3rd trimester.

Didn't gain any weight until 16 weeks.

just hopped on the scale today... +15 pounds at 25w3d

I started out 7 pounds less this time around than I did when I got pregnant with DD1, and have definitely gained that back plus some more.

Every 4 weeks at my doctor's appt, I've consistently gained 6lbs each time. Except of course, for my most recent appt. I managed to gain 10lbs in 4 1/2 weeks. My doctor was less than pleased and told me to try to not gain any weight until my next appt. Which, in case you forgot, is nearly impossible during Christmas/holiday season haha. I'm trying not to overeat on the sweets but it's hard!

So, long story short, I've gained a total of 24 pounds as of 24 weeks.

17 lbs; 26 weeks. Last week was the first week I hadn't gained since 1st tri, so I'm hoping things are slowing down! I know I'm right on track, but I'm a small person to start so there's not much room for the weight to go.

I was pretty sick until 14 weeks, and working out felt great, so I lost about 8 lbs, my bmi is usually about 20. I've gained a lb or 2 each week since then, putting me up 2 lbs at 25 weeks. I fully expect to gain at least another five or ten lbs since I can't work out anymore and I'm only foregoing food that makes me sick.

Amethyst26

So far, I've gained 16lbs. 

old_time_girl

I lost 15 pounds in first tri and have gained 3 of it back at 22 weeks.

nyki06

I get severe morning sickness with my pregnancies and lost 20 lbs right away. I am 24 weeks and just hit my prepregnancy weight. With my last pregnancy I lost 20 and gained it back +15 lbs. 

sapphire021

I lost 10lbs in the first tri due to food aversions (all I could stomach were bread and potatoes) and have gained 4lbs of it back at 24 weeks (still down 6lb from pp weight)

Elijah0915

I have gained 6 lbs at 23 weeks.... Last pregnancy I gained a total of 14 lbs.   I am gaining slower than last pregnancy!  I also started this pregnancy 8 lb lighter than last one.  I have a HUGE BMI (am usually at 32, but I lift weights, do yoga, swim and run...I am not overly muscly but still a big, healthy fit woman) 

Mrs.Leah.Maria

I didn't lose and barely gained in first tri. In the last 10w of 2nd tri I've put on 13-15lbs.

I definitely try to make healthy eating decisions and gained 30 lbs with both DSs, I'm really struggling with weight gain this time around. I think it's because I'm carrying completely differently.

At 25 1/2 weeks I have gained 16 lbs.  I gained roughly 9lbs the first trimester.  My BMI is normally bewteen 19-20.  I have gained significantly less weight this pregnancy than I did last time.  I am hopeful to stay within the 25-lbs weight gain, although the doctor feels that this baby will be the same size or bigger than my son (9 1/2 lbs) which may increase my overall wight gain.

I seem to jump up on the scale instead of gaining gradually. I gained almost 40lbs with my DD but I can't remember the progression of weight gain.

This time around, in the 1st tri I gained between 2-4 lbs. Now, at almost 23w I'm up only a total of 10lbs. I'm really trying hard not to be a whale like I was with DD.

sparty11

My first trimester I was sick the whole time. So I dropped 2 pounds. Now being 25 weeks I have made up for it. I can now eat, so total so far I've gained 35lbs.

BrittBrittM

How much weight have you gained each trimester?? 

I know every pregnancy is different, but what should I expect??

Like you said, every pregnancy is different so what one woman (or 50 women) experience it is not going to tell you what to expect.  Your doctor should tell you what they recommend you gain during your pregnancy and you may come in above or below that.  Most doctors also give out a book that has all kinds of info in it, including recommended weight gain depending on your BMI, and most of the pregnancy websites and newsletters that send you weekly updates often mention what the "average" weight gain is at certain points in pregnancy.
