How much weight have your gained so far?

coachswife24 · February 2011

I'm about 11 weeks 4 days pregnant (my ticker is wrong..need to update it) and I think I've gained 4 pounds so far. I had a friend of mine that is already up to week 20 and she's only gained 4 pounds! I was like, uh=oh. This may not be pretty!

I haven't been eating that much differently, but boy, I sure do feel bloated!

Just interested...how much weight have you gained? Especially if you are in the end of your 1st trimester?

I haven't changed the amount I eat, but I had been eating less healthily due to morning sickness. Basically, I was only craving "comfort food" and the thought of veggies made me want to hurl. So, imagine my surprise (not) when I find out I've gained 10 lbs in the first tri! Talk about a reality check. I really wouldn't worry about 4 lbs right now, that seems to be the norm in the 1st trimester.

Thank goodness veggies are sounding good again!

I had gained five pounds at my appointment two weeks ago. Mostly thanks to the two weeks where nothing sounded appetizing except ramen noodles and klondike bars.

in the first three weeks or so I gained 10 pounds...not sure why, I had cut out sugar completely about a half a week before that....

but, from morning sickness i've lost about 5 of those ten....so who knows what will happen.

I've actually lost about 4 pounds... I haven't had any morning sickness, but find myself getting full a lot quicker.

I've gained 2 pounds I think. With DD, I gained alot in 1st tri, but only 23 pounds for the entire pregnancy.

unfortunately i gained 10lbs or so, so far. i haven't had morning sickness just intense nausea & seems like the only thing that helped it was to eat constantly. but of COURSE i didn't have a taste for anything healthy! That 10lbs was a wakeup call tho so i'm hoping that as 2nd tri approaches & the nausea hopefully subsides i can get back to my normal eating habits.

I'm almost 13 weeks and have lost 4 lbs. I think it's because I'm so busy taking care of DS1 that I can't find a chance to feed myself.

laurasuzanne2006 · February 2011

lost six pounds, gained two back

EveKing79 · February 2011

So far I've lost 5-6 pounds. I haven't had morning sickness, but I feel full much more quickly and have not been "grazing" between meals like I used to. I am over 12 weeks now, so I figure the weight loss will slow soon and I'll start putting on the recommended amount. The ladies on this board reassure me that it's okay, and so has my midwife's office!

I am only 7 weeks along and am still at my pre-pregnancy weight.

I have lost one pound, but I don't have morning sickness, I just feel full a lot faster and the food I eat can be considered "healthy food" so I don't have a lot of empty calories going in in the first place. Also I have not been fatigued so I am still exercising 3-5 times a week.

katecham · February 2011

I lost 3 pounds (7 weeks). I haven't had m/s that bad, only threw up 3 days, but nothing is really sounding that good. I'm not eating as much either.

Jenyfur99 · February 2011

Thanks for this post. It made me realize I'm not alone in gaining more then I wanted to in my first Tri. I gained 5-6 lbs and I am just over 11 weeks (ticker is wrong). I eat so many more carbs now to help with my MS which my body is sooo not used to. MD says not to worry though because hopefully my diet will get more 'normal' in the 2nd Tri.

HeidiP14 · February 2011

Ive gained 6 or 7 pounds. I'm thinking thats not good. I haven't been sick at all and have been having an appetite for everything. I'm hoping to just pace myself through the rest of the pregnancy so I don't gain too much or trying to exercise a little when im not so tired in my 2nd trimester!

This exactly for me. I just went to the doctor today and learned this. I also had spotting early on and wasn't allowed to workout for two weeks.

I think things are leveling off now that I can workout again and I can manage to eat other things besides carbs.

I'm 7w and have had "morning sickness" for almost two weeks now, and lots of food aversions. I've actually lost 9lbs cuz nothing looks or smells appetizing at the moment. I've read that a weight gain of 2-4lbs during your first trimester is normal and healthy. How much you "should" gain overall depends mostly on your starting BMI and health of the baby.

Mrs. Alice · February 2011

about 4-5 lbs. I've been eating like crazy. I'm not worried though because I was already borderline underweight for my height.

Springer30 · February 2011

I'm almost 13 w and have so far gained 4 lbs. I can't believe I've only gained 4 since the only things I can eat between waves of nausea is junk food. As I type this I am eating a big bowl of mac and cheese with cut up hotdogs

KarenB6306 · February 2011

7 pounds so far for me...carbs are the only thing I want. M/s has been brutal. Hopefully I can slow down a bit in 2nd tri!

Kml9876 · February 2011

I am almost 10 weeks and haven't gained anything. I didn't gain anything with my first child in the first trimester either. I did gain though in the 2nd and 3rd.

neko621 · February 2011

Went to the doctor today. I have lost 7 pounds in the past 3 weeks. Stupid morning sickness. Ick!

funkatronjive · February 2011

I am blown away by how hungry I am.... I have been eating like crazy... trying to keep it healthy but I have been indulging in some delicious not so healthy things...

I am 10 weeks and I have gained 5 lbs.... my SIL is 23 weeks and she has only gained about 6 lbs so I am worried about how much gain during my entire pregnancy...

AshleyEric609 · February 2011

I've gained two pounds.

I gained 18 total with my first.

Pina · February 2011

I had a number of circumstances against me (I quit smoking, I was dieting for the year prior and for weeks 6 - the present all I can eat are carbs) and I gained 8lbs thus far. I feel like this is wayyyy too much, but the dr. said it will all balance out in the end when my eating slows down.....which I am starting to notice it is.

Weeks 6-9 I was eating like there was no tomorrow! It was pretty ugly.....

marriedtoeric · February 2011

I've gained a pound at 10w1d. I really don't have much of an appetite, so I'm eating whatever sounds good at the time...which is a lot of starchy carbs but only a little at a time.
