Weight of your world...

How much weight have you gained since becoming pregnant?

My doctor is saying I gained a half a pound but I felt like saying in which cup!??! My boobs alone doubled in size so I really can't see how I gained so little. 

Re: Weight of your world...

  • Well, every morning when I step on the scale, I weight the same amount as I did when I found out I was prego. Depending on the time of day and what I am wearing when I have my appt it varies. Technically I have not gained any weight either! It is crazy talk and does not seem possible. I know it is coming!

  • Are you showing yet? I notice a big change in my belly but not really looking preggo yet.
  • I haven't gained a pound - but my belly is definitely rounder. It used to be pretty flat really, not any more!
  • Depends on the scale but I've gained 7-9 pounds. The OBs office is the nicest scale - so I'm going with 7 lbs.
  • I've actually lost about 8 pounds. But my boobs are bigger and my belly is rounder. My doctor said not to worry about it and that it's probably related to m/s. She also said the fact that I was already a little overweight could contribute because the pregnant metabolism is so much faster.
  • I feel like a fat @ss. I stepped on the scale today and have gained 13 lbs!!!  I'm 13 weeks!!!  If i continue at this rate I will gain 40pounds!!!!!  I feel like my appetite is starting to slow down now but my weight keeps climbing!

  • Thankfully, I have only gained 3 pounds so far.  I put on about 20-25 before this pregnancy though from vacation, quitting smoking and a chemical pregnancy. Boo.  I asked MH if I could get lipo when this was done.  lol

  • I'm in the same boat. I've only gained a pound so far (and I don't even think it was a full pound, on my friends scale it was like .8 of a pound haha). My boobs are def bigger and my stomach is bigger as well. I tihnk the reason for this though is that 

    a) I think I lost weight from weeks 6-10 from barely eating anything and;

    b) I can tell that I've lost weight in my thighs and in my face a little bit from not drinking any more and barely eating haha. So even though my boobs and stomach are getting bigger, i've gotten smaller in other places.

    ditto! and i'm definitely starting to show... which seems weird since there's no weight gain yet. but i know it can happen.

  • I hit 11 weeks yesterday and got weighed at the dr...I lost 2 pounds! I told them their scale was broken. My boobs are literally jugs and I eat all day long so I don't know how that is possible. Nurse just shrugged and said that happens a lot. I can't even button my pants! Well one thing's for certain ladies...we are all on the road to gaining lots of weight soon enough so let's enjoy the ride! xoxo
  • I am the exact. same. weight. as I was when I got BFP. Still not sure how I managed to do that, since all I have been doing is eating and sleeping. But like pp said, the weight gain is coming, so I just enjoy every day that I can still fit (snugly) into my regular pants.

  • According to my "weigh-in" last night - I'm +9lbs already!  I'm on track for a substantial weight gain, but I also gained 35 with DS, and didn't have a problem losing it within the first year.  Hopefully I'll be so lucky this time!
  • nothing yet. i only gained 14-15lbs with ds so i'm hoping to keep it around there!

  • I plan to do a TON of walking once it gets nicer out so any extra pounds will hopefully fall off... Plus I think we're lucky having summer babies because we can walk outside a lot.

    I'm doing my walking around now - because I'll be stuck inside all summer! The joys of the Phoenix heat! Jealous of you ladies that live in a more temperate summer climate :)   

  • 15 since the start of my IVF cycle. That's kind of depressing.

  • I've lost 3 lbs since I got pregnant.  But, I've had pretty bad m/s.  My belly and boobs would say the scale's lying.  They're each getting bigger every day.

    Same here. I'm blaming it on the meds, but it probably has to do with the eating habits. My appetite has also slowed down a bit, so I'm looking forward to it tapering off a little.

  • Up 4 - all of which I gained at the very beginning.
  • I've lost 6 lbs so far. With my DD, I gained 10 lbs in the first trimester and I have done NOTHING different. It's so weird. I think my stomach is a little bigger, but that's about it.

  • I lost 3 pounds from my first appt to my second and am now steady at the same weight. I also gained 15 right before getting pregnant - or, actually now that I think about it, I guess it was also over my first 4 weeks before I knew - from quitting smoking and eating like a crazy beast. :)
  • Up 6 lbs from  pre-pregnancy weight. My midwife said that I was right on track.
    BFP 11/10/13 due July 20th, 2014

  • I've lost 6lbs since my week 4 weigh-in. I had horrible m/s where I didn't want to eat anything. I also cut out soda, most fast foods, and anything super greasy since that all caused roaring acid reflux. Now I mainly live on fruit, water, juice and lean cuisines. Sad but true.
