Weight gain- holy cow!

bebepi · March 2011

I'm gaining weight like a crazy woman! I know we're only supposed to gain 2-5 in the first tri. I haven't been eating more than usual and I've gained 7!! I'm only 6 weeks. Geez Louise, I am going to be huge at this rate. Is anyone else gaining like this? I was on clomid, so I'm wondering if this could mean multiples..? Probably not, but it would make me feel less massive, haha.

I gained 3, I think its the constant eating and the lack of exercise . I just got a prenatal Pilate 's video. Hopefully this will help.

Idk if I've gained or not! But i've been having a struggle with losing weight after my first two I just hope I'm not gaining anything, and hopefully Zumba with help too! I've been doing it for like 3 months now!

So far, I've stayed the same. I gained almost 50lbs last time around and vowed not to do that again! I had the whole mentality that 'I'm pregnant, I can't eat anything and everything' and it didn't work out so well!

I'm sure yours is just water weight!!

I have been gaining too and I am freaking out....my doctor does not seem all that concerned, but I am. She says it could be due to being bloated and in time, it will all balance out. I have not been eating more and I count calories, I also do some sort of exercise everyday. Ugh. Hang in there! Good luck!

I haven't had much of an appetite. As of last Friday I was only up .2 lbs. But I'm sure it'll catch up with me when I get my appetite back.

I'm definitely freaking out! I really haven't taken the "eating for two" mentality and have been exercising regularly (though modified from what I was doing). We have our first appointment in about a week and a half, so hopefully my doctor won't be too concerned. Who knows what I'll weight by then!

I have lost weight. 1 or 2 pounds. I have no desire to eat. If I do eat, it's cheese and carbs. Gah! Anyone else doing zumba? I wanna start doing that again. I'm just lazy right now.

This is why I am avoiding the scale!! Last time around I lost 5 lbs in the first month due to lack of appetite. I feel slightly bloated but everything is fitting me the same right now, so I'm going by how my clothes feel.

Maybe its just water retention for now? Aren't we all bloated??

7lbs of real weight seems like a lot for 2 weeks, but then again, I'm a shorty so thats a lot for a 5'2'' frame, maybe not if you're taller.

Yes, I feel like already look pregnant, am trying to eat healthy... but had a yummy cinnamon roll this morning. The bloating is just crazy!

I keep going up & down 1-2 lbs. Some days I can't eat anything. Other days I get a few minutes of relief, so I eat and then I feel horrible. It's a rollercoaster, that's for sure!

I have lost about 4 lbs. I'm not trying to lost weight by any means. It's possbily because I've just been eating healthier and smaller portions (I get full very quickly). I'm sure I'll start adding some pounds in the next few weeks.

The last time I weighed myself before I found out I was pregnant was months ago. I had to go to the dr last week and when I got on the scale I about passed out at the amount of weight I gained. Either I weighed more before I found out I was pregnant, or it's a lot of water weight, because I don't think I could gain 16lbs in 6 weeks lol

Same here, I gained 50 lbs with DD and I never lost all of it. So I plan on asking my doctor what is the least amount of weight that I can gain, since Im already considered obese at 170. I havent gained anything and don't plan on gaining anything the first tri. I'll start putting on a few pounds in the second tri.

I just literally couldn't believe my eyes, and I wasn't at my OB's I was at a GP because of a cold so of course he isn't going to know jack about it lol

I've gained 5 and I hope that it's just from being so bloated....I hope...
