How much did you gain in the first tri?

I think I'm gaining at the same rate as I did with DS, but feel huge already! I have probably gained 4-5 pounds and 3 of them the past two weeks.

Re: How much did you gain in the first tri?
I started gaining weight almost immediately with DS. All in all, I gained 70+ pounds.
This time, I only gained two pounds in the second tri, and it looks to be like it's steady. I haven't gained any more than 2 1/2 pounds so far. (Which is good, because I wasn't exactly stick thin before this) But I'm with you, I feel huge too! Did you start showing earlier this time around? That could contribute to your feeling like you've gained more weight.
W/ DD, I gained 10 lbs in what seemed to be a matter of weeks after finding out we were pregnant. I chalked it up to being on WW and basking in not having to count points anymore. I am still kicking myself for that stupidity. I will say that I think my fibroids growing up to 32cm total in the first tri probably also contributed to that though. I gained about 35-40lbs total w/ her.
This time, I've been a little better (I have bad days). Part of it has been me consciously trying not to go crazy too much, and the other is that I crave protein instead of carbs this time (except pizza, lol). So far, I've gained about 7-8lbs. That's not great, but it's WAAAAY better than last time! I'm trying to exercise, but I am really not doing a good job of fitting it in (and it's not like I don't have time...I'm a SAHM and DD usually sleeps until 8:30-9am)! I at least think that housework gives me more exercise than my old desk job did, though, b/c while I am definitely overweight, my arms are way more toned than they used to be. Probably from carrying around a toddler, lol.

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:26-27&33-34

I gained 3 or 4 lbs in 1st trimester (which I swear was all due to my breasts doubling in cup size) and have gained about a pound a week in 2nd Tri, which is what I keep reading is a healthy gain.
I'm surprised that these 10 pounds don't make me feel fat but I know it is healthy and necessary and I swear, my skinny jeans actually look better on me now (if you overlook the fact that they don't button)!
