  I've gained 6 lbs, but I started out at a lower weight and body fat % than I believe was sustainable for growing a baby. Between severe IBS, being gluten and dairy free, and lots of exercising, pre pregnancy I was at my lowest weight since my college partying days. My cravings helped with that! I stopped stuffing my face with junk & am eating really cleanly now. So I feel comfortable where I am now and hope to maintain a (very) slow and steady weight gain.

  I'm 10 weeks and down 8 pounds and also I don't take Synthroid anymore I take something called Armour Thyroid. It's nonstandardized so medical doctors don't like it but my naturopath gave it to me and it seems to be helping with the weight issue. Nothing I was just changing your medication during pregnancy but they might be willing to do it. Plus how much weight you "should" gain depends on how much you started at. With my first baby I was 130 pounds to start and I gained 30 pounds, with my last baby I was 190 pounds to start and I only gained 10 pounds.
