Weight Gain

ashleyrsotomayor · December 2010

I just weighed myself this morning and no weight gain. In fact, I might be down a couple pounds even. I would think after the holidays it would be up! I haven't been sick at all in first tri...but food has not been appealing either, and I haven't been very hungry most of the time. I sometimes forget to eat something. Ugh...I feel horrible because I feel like I should be gaining by now. When did you start gaining?

So far, I've lost 4 lbs. I'm just not that hungry.

I lost about 10 pounds in the first 15 weeks. I didn't start gaining until week 18 or so, and now my body is making up for it. At my last appointment I gained 8 pounds in 2 weeks. As long as you're eating at getting the nutrients you need I wouldn't worry about the number.

At my appointment last week I found out that I lost 4 pounds, yet I can't button my pants anymore Since than I have been trying to eat a little more (even though I have no interest) and have been trying not to get sick by laying down (trying to keep the food in).

I just keep reminding myself that my baby takes what it needs first, than me. So everything is ok.

I didn't start gaining until 18w-ish. I didn't throw up with my m/s, but didn't have an desire to eat either.

Seems like most of us who are just now getting to 2nd tri or about to in a few weeks are all in the same boat - I've lost about 5 pounds myself. I had food aversions to basically everything soo I wasn't eating much for a while either. Make sure to eat what you can and don't forget to take those PNV's & I'm sure your LO is growing wonderfully!

The only thing that keeps my nausea at bay is more food. I feel like I've been eating so much, I thought for sure I would have gained quite a bit at this last appointment. So far, throughout this entire pregnancy, I've only gained 1.5 lbs. I don't understand how its possible, but I am not complaining! I figure I'll catch up later this trimester and in the third trimester. My sister on the other hand says she's gained 15 lbs so far and she's only 14 weeks- 12 of those pounds were in the first 10 weeks! She also swears that her eating habits haven't changed (although from her munching at the holiday part, I seriously doubt that). I guess everybody is different.

I didn't gain weight until about week 15 or 16. I wouldn't worry unless your doctor is.

I haven't weighed myself in almost 2 weeks (I've been out of town), but as of then, I had only gained 1-2 pounds. And trust me, I've been eating enough.

ashleyrsotomayor · December 2010

Thanks ladies:) You always know how to make me feel better. I guess I just need to wait it out. It's just so hard to wrap my head around the idea that there is a growing baby inside when I am still almost the same size (now that bloat has calmed down).

magdalina.h · December 2010

I gained from the moment the second line came up. lol I'm only up 23lbs and only gained 15 with Aidster

ksulli · December 2010

I'll be 14w tomorrow and am only up 1 or 2, but I think that's mostly the holidays. Maybe it'll stick this year and become baby?

damabo80 · December 2010

I'm a week behind you, and haven't gained (or lost) anything.

I did come back from vacation and weighed myself (5 pounds up), but then I waited a day, re-weighed, and back to my normal weight.

I've been sick a few times, but food and I still have a great relationship.

vflipo · December 2010

I didn't start gaining until 2nd tri, 16-18 weeks. Then... well I gained a lot. I'm up 30 lbs from pre pregnancy. Embarrassed

I'm trying hard to slow it down while still eating right, though.

HugginAngel · December 2010

I didn't start gaining until around 24 weeks and upto 30 I still went up and down. Only since my 33week appt have I steadily gained. I wouldn't worry. I wasn't sick either just overall didn't have much desire to eat or nothing sounded very appealing.

Gummybear · December 2010

I am down about 5. With DD I only gained 16 the entire time and 9 of them were week 20-24 Embarrassed And I am not really overweight, just on the chubby side of normal.

I throw up a lot and don't really feel like eating much of anything.

kaw2723 · December 2010

I didn't gain anything until about 18-19 weeks (and even then it was only a couple of pounds). And my first trimester was about like yours - didn't ever throw up but a lot of food wasn't appealing and my portions were always small. Don't worry, it will happen.

kbel424 · December 2010

I've gained 8lbs total and I'm almost 18 weeks. I gained a pound or two early on, and it's been gradual since then.

spincat9 · December 2010

I was so sick in 1st tri - I gained 4 lbs though by end of 1st tri, then lost it in beginning of 2nd tri at some point, now I think it's back with a few more friends. So net I think I'm up 8 lbs at just about 20w, which dr. was ok with.

heyemilina · December 2010

At my last appointment (16 weeks) I was down about 3 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. The midwife said it was completely normal both because of nausea issues and also because most pregnant women start eating healthier and drinking more water (if they can, nausea issues aside!). So don't worry about it.
