How much weight have you gained?

pkaren · January 2012

I'm 6w and I feel HUGE already! I gained a few pounds over christmas holidays I think and since finding out I'm PG I've been trying to eat healthy and keep up my exercise routine even though I'm dead tired! I've gained almost 4 POUNDS!!!! I'm hoping it's extra blood volume and such, but my pants are definately tight! I'm only 5'2 (and usually around 116 lbs) so 4 lbs is noticable (to me). Oh, and my boobs have already gotten huge too.

Is anyone else freaked out by new body changes?

Since finding out and my last doc appointment last week I've only gained 1 lb. I'm slightly "bigger" than I should be anyway so it's better that I don't gain toooooo much.

You're tiny! don't worry about 4 lbs. Big Smile

I've gained a few pounds and I'll be 5 weeks thursday. I thought it was my pre-period weight since typically I gain 5-8 pounds during my period then it drops off. But about 3 pounds stayed and I never got that period, tested after being 5 days late and SURPRISE to positive test later we're pregnant. This morning my boobs looked bigger and my pants feel tight since I constantly feel bloated.

2...but it feels like so much more. I didnt think the changes would start so soon. I feel like im in the wrong body. Very strange

I've gained 3lbs officially as of yesterday, putting me at 5'5" and 130lbs. I was always underweight before starting fertility treatments, so my BFF says that now I'm "normal people size", lol!

If everything looks good at my appointment Friday, I'll be buying a BeBand and some maternity skinny jeans and tights because right now, I am sooo uncomfortable in my clothes!

ETA: I just realized that this may come off as skinny girl complains about gaining 3 punds and runs out to buy maternity clothes, but I assure you, I was only about 115 before IF treatments, and those 3 pounds on a skinny person look like a lot more, especially when they go directly to my belly, so my clothes just are NOT cutting it.

k.martell · January 2012

SenoraFisher · January 2012

mommabear7182 · January 2012

Haven't weighed myself in a few days but so far I've gained 2 pounds.

BethM31 · January 2012

I'm 13 weeks and have gained about 2 pounds. Not much of an appetite though. I feel a lot bigger and my pants are getting quite tight.

From my first doctors apt. on December 1st to the last one I had Dec. 29th I had lost 3 pounds. I weighed myself at home the other day showing another 2 lb. loss. I was worried about this but Dr. has not expressed any worry as I started out about 10 pounds heavier than I should have been. I have also been very active being a teacher and coaching basketball which will start to settle down soon. They did say they would rather see a gain than loss at my next apt. on January 26.

I'm down 11 lbs. but my stomach is huge!! When I first got pregnant my stomach was completely fat so now I feel like a hog, despite the fact that I've lost so much weight.

nopegoat · January 2012

Down 6. Everybody gains differently so don't worry about it too much!

Areli71611 · January 2012

Nope, not as far as I can tell, anyway. Last time I weighed in, I was 137 lbs (not too terribly bad on a 5'6 frame), and all my clothes still fit the same. Honestly, though, my appetite hasn't increased much yet, so I'll expect changes when that happens!

JayandEmm · January 2012

3 pounds so far. That might be because Ive been eating every hour and a half to keep m/s away.

And Ive had Taco Bell twice in the last week. Embarrassed

margaret_howell · January 2012

i've lost 4. now that i am not nauseous anymore i think i will be gaining from now on.

yougrindmygears · January 2012

1 or 2 pounds, but it feels like much, much more.

LWilson82 · January 2012

I haven't gained anything. All that horrible bloat went away 2 weeks ago and I'm the same weight I started at thankfully.

jesslinnn · January 2012

Mine fluctuates between zero and 4 lbs. My belly is poking out though. Whether it's bloat or uterus, it's bigger and doesn't like real pants.

hullmanr · January 2012

4 lbs and I'm barely 7 weeks, I feel like a cow

. I'm really worried I'll balloon up since all I want is carbs.

lily225 · January 2012

I also gained about 2-3 lbs between mid-oct and december (I just completely a 1/2 marathon and my activity level went way down) so that sucked. Since getting pregnant I initally gained 3 but last week was down 1.5-2 from the m/s. We'll see how long I can "hold out" before gaining much more. I have a tendency to put on a good 10lbs in the first tri.

smalltowngirl85 · January 2012

Im going on 5 weeks i Have not weighed myself yet but i feel bloated all the time right now which makes me look like i already have a baby belly. Its deffinitly nothing something i feel comfortable with thats for sure right now i look like i over indulged big time during the holidays!

smalltowngirl85 · January 2012

i ment to add i am also small about 5"1 and was 115 lbs to start so i know exactly how the smallest change can make you feel

Kasi80 · January 2012

No weight gain yet but have a huge belly now.

wallacewife06 · January 2012

I honestly don't know how much/ if I have gained weight from pregnancy. I hadn't weighed myself in weeks because I wasn't able to workout due to an injury and I quit smoking at the same time. I weighed myself when I found out I was pregnant and was up 7 pounds from 2 months before. Don't know if that was because of pregnancy, not working out, or not smoking....Watching it weekly now.
