Weight fluctuation, anyone else experiencing this?

Hi there!

I have noticed my weight is sometimes up and sometimes down, it seems to depend on how constipated I feel (tmi). Is this a normal part of pregnancy? Also, how much do you increase your calorie intake in the second trimester?

Hope all is well!

  • Everyday I gain 4 pounds from morning to night. I do drink 100 oz of water and don't poop so that contributes. Lol in the morning I'm back to original weight.

  • Yeah I normally "gain" 4-5 pounds from morning to evening then back down again in the next morning. All the water and not pooping :/

  • Thank you ladies! The not pooping is something else, I take colace per my doctor and have no relief! I am glad we are all in the same boat with that symptom, it isn't comfortable, but at least others understand! :)
  • Yes - mine's not even really on a morning to evening schedule. I'll be 8 pounds heavier and then 2 days later, I'll be back to back to what I was before. It's very strange. 
  • Totally normal for 1st tri.  It will settle down to gaining 1-2 lbs in 2nd tri.  My weight has been fluctating wildly this month.

  • My belly is what fluctuates. Some days it looks like my bump disappeared but when I touch it, it's still hard (not fluffy) but throughout the day it gets bigger. Before my belly was just big! I guess this just means the bloat is going away.
