    I am, but I am underweight to begin with so I'm trying to put on weight...but I haven't had that much success.  I gained a lot in the first trimester with DS2 (and lost weight in the first tri with my other two due to morning sickness).  It evened out and I didn't end up gaining any more total than I did with the others.  I'd say as long as you're eating well and exercising, I wouldn't worry too much.  Or...ask your doctor what he thinks about it?

    I can't say from experience but I know my sister put on the most weight with her 3rd child. While she was not running at the time she was a very small girl and ended up being 200 lb by the end of the pregnancy. Take comfort in the fact that at about a year after having the baby she was in a smaller size (size 2) then when she got married! The only thing she did was run to do that. Your body may just know now what it is doing and is doing it a little quicker than before.

    DIfferent pregnancies means different ways of gaining.

    Ds1.. I gained a total of 14 pounds. All of which was well into the second and third trimester. 

     ds2.. I gained 10 pounds by 12 weeks pregnant and continued to gain another 25 pounds by the end of my pregnancy...35 pounds total,

     This one- I have gained 1 pound and am hoping to keep it down till the late second trimester.

    OMG I was in the best shape of my life before I got pregnant this time...I'm not exercising as much (I get winded very easily and my doc told me to cut Zumba for now) but I try to walk or do a prenatal DVD at east 4 days a week. But all I want to do is eat! I'm almost 12 weeks and pretty sure I'm up between 8 and 10 pounds and I am so upset! Een when I get nauseous. eating makes me feel better!!!

    I would think most of it is bloat or water waight.  By the time I was 8 weeks, I had gained 9 pounds, now I am already down 3 as the bloat and water weight is slowly coming off.

    How are your boobs? Mine started growing in the first tri with DD and contributed to the weight gain. I didn't lose the last 10 lbs of baby weight after she was born until my boobs shrunk again.

    BFP 11/09 - DD 7/10 - BFP 8/11 - M/C 9/11 - BFP 6/12 - DD - 2/13

    At my 11 week appointment I hadn't gained any weight. If you're concerned I'd bring it up with your doctor. There are plenty of simple fixes to things that might cause you to gain extra weight.

    Just the conversation thread I was looking for! So, I am in the boat opposite to some of you. I am nearing 9 wks and haven't gained at all, but I FEEL I've gained 10 pounds. I am def bigger in the tummy (have a tiny pouch and starting to see hips are getting bigger).

    Before my IVF, I was 105 (I'm 5'4") and gained 3 pounds with the stims. I've maintained at 108 now since finding out we were pregger at Week 4. At night the scale reads 110 but by morning I am back to normal weight at 108. I'm even eating more that I used too (but not stuffing my face!). I read you tend to bloat up more throughout the day. First tri is mainly water weight and bloat.

    Someone on the thread mentioned maybe you are having twins. I actually am having twins and just because you may gain more in first tri doesn't mean you are having twins. Trust me. Women who are having twins tend to follow a singleton pregnancy curve up until the end of the 2nd tri or start of the third tri from what I read.

    Also, keep in mind, that your baby is getting the nutrition it needs no matter what you eat if you are taking the prenatals. Sure, it would be healthier if you gain the weight, but if your doc sees that your babies are on track and growing and if some reading this thread are not really gaining weight, it is OKAY. The important thing is that the baby is on track. Yes
