First Trimester Weight Gain

Gr8te · April 2013

How much did you gain during your first trimester? I'm only 13 weeks and I've already gained 6 lbs. I've always been skinny not underweight but thin. All the literature says I should only gain a max of 4.5 lbs, but really only 3 lbs for my size. I've had such bad m/s, I feel like I'm constantly eating to curb the nausea and carbs are all I can regularly tolerate. Any advice? TIA

I'm sort of afraid to know how much I've gained too. I'm going to say it's at least 5-10 lbs already. EEK! I wasn't exactly as active as usual leading up to my BFP though, so I'm not sure where I started.

I gained about 10 lbs in first tri. Between the meds and the constant need to snack to ward of nausea, I'm really not surprised. But now I'm at 39 weeks and I've only gained 27 lbs total. So don't worry about it at all!!
