jewelamber8 · April 2012

Rochell · April 2012

Ha this! I was told by OB that I've gained 8 so far. I'm happy with that. 8lbs in almost 4 months sounds good to me. Honestly I wouldn't care if I gained 20. I'm growing a baby. Weight gain is gonna happen. Big deal. I will lose it after LO is born anyway. I'm not stressing about it.

TashaTuck01 · April 2012

I've gained approx. 20lbs. Embarrassed

I haven't been sick at all but I also haven't really been eating terribly. I think it is mostly water weight because I went from NEVER drinking water, to drinking almost a gallon a day.

SouthMinnieAppleMama · April 2012

I'm up 16lbs. I was never sick in the beginning, just ravenous and craving bad things. For the most part I eat pretty healthy but I have food aversions to veggies so the fruit sugars and calories add up and I'm guilty for being a late night pie eater

misty-nor-cal · April 2012

I'm at 16 weeks and have gained 2 lbs. Although I didn't lose all the baby weight from DD and started about 10-15 lbs heavier than where I started with her, so I'm hoping to not gain as much. We'll see what happens when I hit 30+ weeks

LetsBeNice · April 2012

I am at 16 wks, but I am actually down 4 because I have been so sick. With my first DS I think I was up abt 15 !

Baby_Bunny_Hopeful · April 2012

16 weeks= 6 lbs... same as last pg.

My big gain was between 23-28 weeks last time I gained 7 lbs... the following month I gained 8 lbs!!! I had GD last time though- praying I don;t have it this time!!

7. 3 of those have been since the beginning of second tri.

ktshafra · April 2012

I've only gained 4 lbs so far. I still had 30 to lose from DD (thanks to not being able to breastfeed), so (as a PP noted) I'm hoping to not gain very much this go around.

sjgurl784 · April 2012

I've gained 7 so far. Quite shocked as I have been eating a lot!

This except I did breastfeed. I was always starving from all the milk production so I didn't loose a pound. I told my husband as soon as I'm doing bfing I am focusing on myself until I get the weight off.

pinkclouds25 · April 2012

I lost a bit in the beginning due to the lifestyle change (no wine, limited fried and junk foods, more fruits and veggies, etc.). I think I am back up again and have put on a couple pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. A lot of my friends said they put on the bulk of their weight in their thrid trimester so I guess I have that to look forward to

bugsy2167 · April 2012

Since my 8 week appointment I'm down 11lbs. My doctor says she is not worried about it so neither am I. My mother and my grandmother didn't start showing/gaining weight until about week 25. My m/s wasn't terrible and I've been eating properly, exercising regularly, etc. Doctor said that every woman gains weight differently, attributed it to a change in metabolism and said that baby looked fine. I have an appointment on Monday...we will see if she says anything different but assume not.

HarrietNJMommy · April 2012

No idea. A few weeks ago I had gained around 4lbs. I don't have another appt. until May 13th. And I don't use a scale at home.

RoxanneA · April 2012

Not an ounce. Actually I probably lost some this week because I've been so sick:(

watkinae · April 2012

I've gained 10-12 lbs. I haven't been sick at all this pregnancy and have cravings that make me eat more frequently than pre-pregnancy. I was already a little overweight, so my doc told me to only gain about 25 lbs or so. Hopefully this weight gain slows down a little.

CLLDLL · April 2012

8 lbs...I think every woman, and every pregnancy is different. As long as you eat healthy and get in some exercise (even just walking), your body will gain what it needs to. Last pregnancy by this time I'd gained like 16lbs, and I was sick sick sick. This time I only had 2 weeks of what I'd call real m/s with a the occasional feeling yucky day mixed in, and I've gained less. I have faith my body just knows what it needs to do for this baby.

Cynthia1207 · April 2012

I think I'm at 5-6 lbs more. Last weigh in was at my Dr's office 2 weeks ago and I had gained 4.5 since the beginning.

Lilleybug · April 2012

Up 7 but I have been extremely sick (with the flu) so I lost a few over the past few days.

sbagandov · April 2012

6 lbs here!!

jewelamber8 · April 2012

Thanks, gals!!!! I was just curious how much everyone else was gaining. I was alreay 15-20 lbs overweight so I am trying not to gain too much, too quickly!

Wally3 · April 2012

Around 4 lbs. I didn't gain any with ds at this point. I figure I' ll gain mostly in my 2 nd tri like with ds.

pretty much exactly this. last doctors appointment I was still down 2lbs from before I went on vacation and concieved, I don't own a scale so I will see at my next doctors app, or if I remember to look at my in-laws.

esmemehl · April 2012

I fluctuate between 4-8 gained from the weight I was when I found out I was pregnant.

nycgirl88 · April 2012

I'm also up about 16-20 pounds. My doctor isn't worried since I had to stop exercising (on pelvic rest) and eat really healthy/drink lots of water. I think everyone is different...and if your doctor isn't concerned, you shouldn't be either

jhenrie · April 2012

i lost five pounds early on from morning sickness and food aversions. in the last month or so ive put it back on, so technically im breaking even right now at seventeen weeks. hopefully this helps to not gain too much over the next several months.

DesMomma · April 2012

3lbs here. But alot of m/s.

goldengirl84 · April 2012

At my appointment one week ago I had gained 1 1/2 lbs. I have been craving healthier foods than what I normally eat but mostly sweets. I'm sure the weight will start to pile on before too long! My belly sure is growing!

baeluevano · April 2012

I'm 15weeks today & according to my scale at home I'm weighing in at the same weight as before I was pregnant, but according to my last Dr. apt I am up 2lbs (I've been up 2, same as before, then up 2 again).

But I am overweight to begin with so my weight gain is supposed to be fairly minimal.

AbuDhabiMommy · April 2012

I've lost about 3 lbs... but I've been told not to gain too much weight with this baby, so I'm okay with it. With the bed rest though, who knows what will happen?

I had lost 14 lbs at this time with my daughter because of extreme morning sickness - but then promptly made up for it and then some during weeks 17-39....

Sami91 · April 2012

I'm at 16 weeks and have lost 20 lbs.

Starfish17 · April 2012

1 lb as of last Tuesday, I had lost 2 lbs in 1st tri. I only gained 19 lbs with DS, so figure this one is on track to be about the same and my OB is fine with that.
