How much weight have you gained?

sakelp · June 2012

I am 11w 5d, and I have gained about 1 pound. I know that is totally normal, but one of my friends is only about 3 days ahead of me in her pregnancy, and she's posting pics on Facebook that show her having a real baby bump! I am sort of glad that I haven't gained a lot, bc I have type 1 diabetes, and I am trying to keep my blood sugar and weight gain low, and hoping not to have a huge baby, or a c-section.

Just wondering what you have experienced!

TIA!

I'm not entirely sure because the last time I was weighed was months ago. I'm now 5lbs heavier than that number, and I'm only 9 weeks along. STM though. During my first pregnancy I only gained 35 lbs total (I was slightly underweight to begin with) and I gained very steadily beginning in 2nd tri.

I've stayed the same weight so far. Try not to compare yourself to your friend. Everyone is different!

About negative 5.

I have gained about 3 lbs since I've become pregnant. Since my first appointment at 8 weeks to my second appointment at 12 weeks, I have gained 1lb. And I think I have a noticeable baby bump. I think it just depends on your body shape & if you've been pregnant before.

I weighed a couple of days ago and I've gained 1 lb.

ungraceful13 · June 2012

I have gained between 2-3 lbs.

brianabrad · June 2012

I gained 3 to 4 pounds right off but between appts at about 6 weeks and 10 weeks I only added .4 of a pound. My doctor wasn't concerned so I didn't see a reason to be. Hoping my weight gain will be even and slow from here on out.

sesigs · June 2012

I have gained barely a pound but I am so bloated I look like I've gained 15!

lanie22 · June 2012

I gained 2 pounds between 5-7 weeks, but now I'm down 5. I think my m/s has started to fade a bit and I'm now a lot hungrier, so I'd imagine that number will start to increase again. Hopefully slowly!

Allycat11 · June 2012

As of last week, I had gained less than a pound (I don't own a scale and don't weigh myself at home). I also have nothing that resembles a bump yet, just way more bloated than usual.

runlong3 · June 2012

I'm not quite as far along as you, but as of today I've only gained 1.6. But I usually fluctuate ~2-3 lbs day-to-day even when not pregnant, and I'm still doing that. I haven't gone outside of my "normal" weight zone yet, so I count it as I haven't really gained anything.

sbevmc09 · June 2012

Nothing yet. I haven't been eating very well, but I guess the crap I have been eating has been balanced out by my lack of appetite at other times. I lost weight during first tri my last pregnancy. I know I'll start gaining here soon.

dulcemariamar1 · June 2012

2 lbs but my bloat makes me look like I have gained 10.

PatsyGK21 · June 2012

1 pound. I'm a little nervous cause the doctor wants me to gain like 40 lbs, I have a very small frame, I'm kind of shaped like a 10 year old boy, and I dont think I can handle putting on that much weight. I only planned on gaining 25. So we'll see how it goes.

courtneybrooke921 · June 2012

I'm up 1.2 as of today at 10 1/2 weeks.

They say "normal" is to gain 3-5 your first trimester but everyone is different!

I gained 52 pounds with my last pregnancy. I refuse to do that again, so slow and steady this time!!

mrssmw · June 2012

I haven't gained anything but my face and stomach are soo bloated it looks like I have.

littleheaven · June 2012

according to my thyroid dr's office, i've lost like, 3lbs since i was there last month...

however, today i'm wearing a light dress, and last time i was wearing jeans?

and today's weight was 1lb less than at the ob office on tuesday.....

I'm built the same way. I gained 35lbs with my first pregnancy and I looked like I had a basketball stuffed under my shirt, with bigger boobs It was cute, actually. Don't worry!

Marisajean01 · June 2012

I am hesitant to say that I have gained right around 5 pounds. I have not had M/S and am constantly hungry and try to make sure that I am eating healthy snacks.

this decaf life · June 2012

I'm 13w1d and I haven't gained any weight. My weight always fluctuates within about a pound during the day so if I weigh myself at night I might be up a pound but every morning I'm back to my regular weight.

MadeOfAwesome · June 2012

I definitely have a baby bump, but I've lost 2 pounds.

Necack · June 2012

So jealous of all you ladies! We'll just call me the heifer on the board. I've already gained 8 lbs and I'll be 12 weeks on Saturday. I haven't had ms and I'm constantly hungry. I'm eating pretty healthy too, with an occasional goodie, but no more often than prepregnancy when I maintained my weight well. It's frustrating. My bloat belly look like chub though. It's nice and round.

SimonenReny · June 2012

I think I have gained about 2-3lbs but my weight fluctuates every day so it's hard to tell. I'm 13 weeks today and am still not really showing besides bloat. I'm just trying to eat as healthy as I can and exercise so that the weight gain will hopefully be slow and steady as I progress through my 2nd trimester.

karen_loy · June 2012

As today I've lost 2lbs

During these weeks it fluctuates from -3 to +2

wootownlady · June 2012

I look like I've gained about 10 - and my bump/fat/bloat - whatever you want to call it - looks very "pregenant" - my body went right back to it's expanded preggo shape from 13 months ago and it's funny. Anyone who looks at me can tell I'm pregnant.

With all that being the case, my husband finds it hard to believe that I am still down 2-3 lbs and haven't gained any weight, but I swear it's the truth!

schnena77 · June 2012

about 3 pounds - I really have not had m/s

eSynergy · June 2012

I've gained about 8-10 pounds (second pregnancy). I've been having a lot of ligament pain and I definitely have a little bump. My dr said the ligament pain just means I'm growing and this is all normal the second time around.

My first pregnancy, I didn't gain any weight until 15 weeks or so. I'm doing everything the same this time around (eating well, exercising) -- it's so wierd to gain weight when you're not doing anything differently!

Hildaw · June 2012

I have gained a couple pounds. I'm going to blame some of that on constipation.

LeahEn · June 2012

Me too! I've gained 4-5 pounds, but I've never had constipation like this, ever. I'm not worried about the weight gain, I have continued to run 25-30 miles per week (OB approved) and am eating healthy (well, for he most part!)...

Mrs.Appling · June 2012

Well I had really bad ms so I actually lost 20lbs weeks 5-10 this last week I been so excited to eat that I think I been going alittle over board I've gained 8lbs since last Tuesday. I've really gotta slow down but it like Im always hungry...lol

This. If I don't suck it in, I look like I'm 7 months pregnant. So gross.

Tanda711 · June 2012

I've gained 4 lbs so far - but it seems like more. Thanks to the bloat I can't wear any of my jeans anymore

This! I'm the same weight but look HUGE!

Brummy14 · June 2012

I've gained 2-3, but given we're expecting two -- that weight gain should take off incredibly fast! I haven't experienced much in the way of m/s, and I've been able to pretty much keep up with my 4-6 days/week gym visits....but I have been eating a LOT more. I'm ravenous. Like all the time. However, I've also had to replace all of my booze calories with real food (and, apparently I drank a helluva lot. Lol).

Oh, I'm jealous of the running. Some days I can barely manage to shower and my exercise has been limited to walking the dogs. I hope I start feeling better soon!

DJ1845 · June 2012

I've gained way too much, maybe 8lbs and I'm 11wks. For the past 3 wks i've been ravenous. Today, I feel like my appetite has returned to normal. Needles to say, i'm also in the select group of women with no ms. I've decided to stop freaking to about the weight gain and am hoping it levels off. Besides, I figure 2lbs can be attributed to growing tatas, right?!

brittandjp · June 2012

Last week I was up about 2.5 (I blame my indulgent food fest on our staycation). Although according to my doctor today, I've only gained 1 pound.

KappaUCF20 · June 2012

I had my 12 week appt yesterday, and I'm up 5 lbs but I'm not sure if all of that is actual weight gain or if bloat is partially to blame. Either way, the doctor said I'm right on track (my uterus is already kind of high, but I don't have much of a bump yet). I haven't had very much morning sickness, and I've been eating three meals a day, including a lot more protein (as opposed to pre-pg when my diet was heavy on carbs, and I really only ate one big meal a day).

st.augbride · June 2012

I'm up 2-3lbs from where I was when I got pregnant, but I look huge! My face and stomach are bloated, and like others said the constipation does not help. I try to work out when I can, which does help, but with an 18 month old and full-time job that's pretty challenging regardless!
