Holy weight gain Batman!

mrsbmw09 · July 2010

How does this happen so fast!? Last week I hadn't gained anything, this morning I've gained 3 pounds! It's not like I'm sitting on my a$$ all day and eating either, I can barely eat at all. I eat healthy and small portions all day, I try to be active when I'm not totally exhausted. I know some of that must be in my chest because the girls are 2 cup sizes bigger, but still! Anyone else just suddenly put on weight and can't figure out how? This is so frustrating! I'm not supposed to gain more than 5 pounds in the whole 1st tri, that only allows me 2 more pounds in 6 weeks.

I am there too and my dr. was able to reassure me. I am usually petite and work out at minimum 4 times a week before I got pregnant. I have major nausea and shortness of breath and it has prevented me from being as healthy so I've come to accept and will begin working out a bit more when my body isn't as tired So far...I've gained 3 lbs and I am 7w2d!

There is a good chance the it could be a bit of water weight...are you bloated? I fluctuated a fair bit with my first and didn't gain any "real" weight until almost the second trimester...everyone is different though!

I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head there! 2 cup sizes is a lot and can add a couple lbs!

Same thing happened to me as of this morning.

Yes! I am in the same boat. I am trying to be very careful and in the last week I'm up about 4 lbs! Glad to see I'm not alone!

I went to the doctor yesterday and I was up 4 pounds at 5w2d!!! I almost wanted to cry, I've never been so heavy, but like my DH said "it's healthy and for the baby" But it's still hard for me to see myself gaining weight and having a belly...I am thinking it's all baby and bloat Stick out tongue

Boobs! Plus I'm sure most of it is water weight for you lucky skinny gals.

Sadly, I'm really not skinny. I'm actually a bit overweight.

I was trying to lose 10 pounds when I got my bfp so I'm definitely trying to watch my wait. At my doctor's appt yesterday I was even so for now I'm doing well.

I read somewhere that a large portion of early weight gain is increase in blood volume (as well as breast and water retention).

That makes me feel better, thanks! Maybe I'll weigh again tomorrow. I was wearing more clothes this time than normal too.

Ugh....I am hoping not to gain a ton of weight I am trying to keep it underwraps from employer... although I feel like my bbs are growing by the minute!!!!!

HA! i was just going to start a thread about "BLOATING" or just plain feeling fat. Since I've learned of my pregnancy, I've noticed that i'm gaining weight, especially around the mid section. I'm here at work, sitting in front of the computer and can feel my stomach (rolls) touching each other I'm only 5w4d so I shouldn't really be this big. I guess it is just bloating but this is bad bloating :P I can't even wear any of my jeans coz they're too tight on me so I've just been wearing dresses...luckily it's super hot here in LV so i can get away with it. :P
