weight gain in first tri

in 1st Trimester
because i'm always hungry I think I've gained more than what I should have at this point.  My doctor hasn't said anything about it being too much yet, but i have to eat every 3 hours or so and been like that since beginning.  I weighed myself last night and noticed I have gained 10 lbs and about had a freak out, its all in my belly, not just bloat anymore I guess.  tell me the hunger dies down in 2nd tri or at least somewhat subsides

    It does! Goes back to normal, anyway. Be prepared for the hunger to come back with a vengeance if you BF, though :) And try to eat healthy foods, it really sucks to lose the baby weight.

    This is my first so I don't know about 2nd trimester, but do be careful.  I have a co-worker who gained 60 lbs. with her pregnancy and I can't imagine that was a lot of fun to try to lose!

    I'm pretty sure I gained about 10 pounds already, too.  As soon as this first tri ickiness goes away, I'm starting back on the GD diet.  I had GD with DD, so I'm assuming I'll have it with this one.

    Yeah, I gained about 30lbs and lost about 20 within a few days PP. Then the BFing hungries hit and I gained another 10. And those 20lbs took another 6 months to lose. It sucked. This time I plan to have healthy snacks on hand, with DD I was snacking at work and just eating whatever I could find at the convenience store in the basement.

    I gained 60 pounds with my first one and was down 30 pounds 1 week pp.  I had lost all of it plus 15 pounds in 5 months by eating 2200 calories a day while EBF.  I am gaining less already this time since I'm still BF.  I hope my son doesn't wean!!  But I'm not that worried. I eat healthy things along with my crap and it makes me feel good :)

    it totally goes down, don't worry!  try replacing our snacks with healthier options,but honestly i wouldn't worry about ten pounds if i were you =)  eating often is something i have to do too.

    I am still early on but I also feel in the past few weeks I can't stop eating.  I know I have gained at least 3 lbs and I still have weeks before my 1st trimester is over!  thanks for posting I feel better now!
