i've gained 10 lbs

in 1st Trimester

As of last week, at 10 weeks, i had gained 10 pounds.  The nurse didn't seem worried, she said some of it is probably water weight, but i still feel like a larda** .  Anyone else?

    I gained 60+ pounds with my last pregnancy. No way is that going to happen again. I didn't watch what I ate though and I was also very swollen (lots of water weight). I lost 30+ pounds before I even left the hospital after I delivered.

    I was in the same boat last time. You will probably slow down now.

    I am really hoping to keep my weight in check this time.  It is really hard to take it off. 

    ETA:  I gained about 30 last time, but didn't go to term.  I probably would have gained about 35 - 40.  I didn't loose much till I stopped BFing.

    wow 30 pounds right away! that's crazy, i am also very swollen as you were, i can't even wear my wedding rings and some shoes are too tight.  I stopped adding salt to stuff but that has not made a difference.  I try to watch what i eat but sometimes cravings take over, hopefully the cravings will subside in the 2nd tri

    I hear you... I gained 10 lbs my first trimester last time and am on my way this time.  I only really gained 10lbs a trimester (leveled out some) last pregnancy 35 lbs total and lost it all plus an additional 10lbs after pregnancy so I wouldn't worry about it but it does feel disgusting :)

    Ugh.....I am on my way I fear.  I have gained 5 pounds so far.  I am thinking it is mostly water weight and bloat but I haven't been working out and have been eating more than I should so some of it is my fault.

    I gained 50 pounds with my last pregnancy. ?I came home from the hospital the same weight as when I went in due to the extreme water retention I had. ?I lost 10 pounds the first week home, and since then, I have only lost another 5 or so....with only 6 months between pregnancies, I didn't really give myself a lot of time to focus on the wieght loss. ?I'm trying my best to just stay where I am, but it is so hard when all I want to do is eat lately! ?I just hope to be no larger than I was the last time when I deliver. ?

    everyone gains in different ways.  With my first pregnancy I didn't gain anything in the first trimester due to nauseau but once that passed I gained 15 pounds in a month.  My dr was not impressed LOL.  I ended up gaining 45 pounds total and was down 40 within 8 weeks of giving birth.

    I too gained exactly 10 pounds at my 10 week appointment.  My MD was concerned a little, I tried to explain that I have probably drinking 3500 calories a day in sprite, gatorade and juices (pre-pregnancy all I drank was water).  I am very concerned about the weight gain, I am hoping it will level off!!!!!  I feel like a COW already and this is just the beginning.  My husband asked me last night while lookng at my stomach "is that baby already?"--I wanted to say no, I am just large and my stomach just looks like it is 5 months pregnant already!!!
