Weight Gain

dzfryegirl · April 2013

How much weight gain is normal at 1718 weeks? I'm due October 2nd. So far, I've lost weight and have a pound to gain before being at my pre pregnancy weight.

I am due the day after you and so far in the first 3 months I lost almost 10 lbs and I have put almost one of those back on. My Dr says not to worry as long as I am taking my vitamins and trying to eat as healthy as I can.

My OB said ideal weight gain is half a pound per week for the first trimester, then a pound per week for the second and third trimesters.

That was the same here but I gained like four pounds in the first month of pregnancy and then stopped and even lost some weight. By the second trimester, I am now gaining a pound a week. I am not sure about loosing weight in the second trimester unless someone is morbidly obese which then doctors don't have a problem with them loosing weight.

It's normal not to gain in first tri or only a few pounds. Obviously a lot people end up down due to m/s.

The 1/2 to 1lbs per week sound about right. Did you doctor give you a goal weight gain? I was on track for weight gain until the end of 2nd tri and got huge.

Just try to eat healthy!

I'm due October 5th. And still about 4 lbs down from pre pregnancy weight. I'm fine with it because I know the lbs pile on at the end and I don't want to be huge.

I'm 15 weeks and have already gained 7lbs.

I've gained about 10 lbs total, but I had no morning sickness as long as I kept carbs down - which definitely did not help my cause! I'm so excited the nice weather is getting here - let the daily walks begin!

I am almost 16 weeks and am up 4 pounds. My doc said 25-35 was normal but she would not be concerned if I gained less as long as I was eating and feeling good.

I lost 5 lbs in the first trimester and haven't gained it back since. I am right around 200 lbs so I don't think it would hurt to lose weight for me, obviously it would be different if I weighed 100 lbs. My doctor hasn't even commented on it bc everything else looks great. I am just a little confused bc I fully expected to gain weight almost immediately but hey, I won't complain about it as long as the baby is healthy!
