1st Trimester Weight Gain

kmurphy918 · March 2013

Hi There,

This is my 1st pregnancy and I'm 11 weeks. I've been eating normal and healthy and I've gained almost 10 lbs already.

I know everyones body is different but I'm curious if anyone has experienced weight gain early on.

I'm at 12 weeks, and I've gained 3 pounds. It's all very visible in my belly area though, I've clearly looked pregnant since about 8 weeks.

That's a lot. Were you very small to begin with? What does your doctor say?

I just weighed myself and somehow I lost 2 lbs! To be fair last time I weighed myself was at 6 weeks (now almost 9) and I think I was crazy bloated.

Everyone's body reacts so differently.. I'm just about 8 weeks and I've only gained about 1 lb. I know my weight will start picking up in the 2nd Tri.

Pre-pregnancy I was 132 lbs (height 5'6").

Everyone is different, so comparing your weight gain to ours isn't going to be terribly helpful. If you're concerned, ask your doctor/midwife at your next visit. Make sure you're eating good, healthy food, not more than 300 calories more pe

Don't worry, I gained a lot early because I stopped drinking caffeine and I was so bloated.

I'm 12 weeks and haven't gained any weight yet, but we had a nasty stomach bug last week that made us all lose a few pounds:( Even though I haven't gained, my stomach is definetly bigger!!!

aa1293 · March 2013

the scale says today I am up already 8 pounds but I know several pounds of that is bloating and constipation. My weight seems to fluctuate daily.

perfectcharms · March 2013

I'm 10w3d and I'll say I might have gained a pound or so. I had some pretty bad food aversions weeks 6-8.

msjanet02 · March 2013

At almost 11 weeks I had lost a pound. I'm now 14 weeks and will be going for my next prenatal appt this Wednesday. Will get a weight and see where I'm at. I feel like I did gain weight but we'll see!
