10 lbs in 10 weeks

in April 2014 Moms
I'm feeling like crying right now. I'm 10 weeks 4 days and I just found out that I have gained 10 pounds since I found out I was pregnant. I feel so huge. I started at 125 at 5'6" and now I'm up to 135. It's my third baby and I am constantly hungry. Just feeling so bummed and I know it's stupid. :( Just discouraged.

    I'm 5'6" too.  When I was 125 I was a size 4 and tiny.  You may actually need to be gaining that much.  That being said, looking at the scale sucks.

    I'm 5'7" and haven't seen 135 in YEARS... I think I weighed 125 in about the 8th grade.  At 135 you are still not "overweight" for your height. 

    I'm sure your concern is health, and I'm not trying to be insensitive to that, but keep it all in perspective.  You are pregnant, not fat.

    It's just that...I went into this pregnancy determined to be as healthy as possible, and instead all I can stomach are carbs. I had wanted to exercise regularly and eat right, and I feel like I'm failing at that. The number on the scale just reinforces that I haven't done a good enough job being as healthy as I wanted.

    I'm 5'6 and was 125ish when I couldn't get pregnant- my endo put me on hormones & told me to pack on a few. I now maintain 133. I gained 40 while pregnant with DD and dropped it all in about 3 months. I was back in a bikini in 3w. I have a friend that gained 60 with each of her 3 pregnancies and snapped back into shape each time.

    first tri you do what you need to to survive. When you're feeling better you can make healthier food choices.

    The food stuff gets a lot easier in the second and third trimester. Just get back on the wagon when you can and don't beat yourself up too much for now. And I'm 5'7" and weight , , , , a lot more than that.

    I refuse to look at the scale. It's depressing. :( Instead, I am just trying to make healthier choices when I eat and am drinking extra water. It's just to hard for me to watch that number on the scale increase.

    I'm thin too and gain a lot with pregnancy. I think we just need to gain more to provide enough for the baby. I am hungry 24/7. Try not to worry, I lost all the weight plus 10lbs within the year after my last pregnancy just from breastfeeding, eating well, and chasing an early walker.

    Scales just stink! Don't feel bad about yourself at all, if you are hungry you need to eat. I know if I don't I end up getting sick. Hang in there! :)

    I'm with you, girl. I was working with a trainer, was at my target BMI, and was a size 2. Like you, I gained ten lbs in ten weeks. I felt like a fat slob. I can't do anything besides water aerobics right now because I blew out my knee, and now with my SCH I'm not doing much at all. We will get there again. I promise...because once I find peace with this weight-gaining, couch-sitting, Weeds-watching-marathon thing, it will be time to have the baby, and then I can go kick some ass and lose this weight. It's all SO worth it. (I'm bagging up all of my size 2 pants and XS tops tomorrow and putting them in the garage. I can't stand to see all of the clothes I can't wear.) :-)

    10 lbs in 10 weeks too!! Luckily I started out a few pounds lower this time because I lost some extra eight BFing. I gained 40ish the first time and was hoping to gain less this time but I'm on the exact same track as before. Oh well, at least I know I can lose it again, go boobs!!
