When did you begin to gain weight?

I am now 11 weeks with twins and have not gained any weight. I do eat small meals throughout the day as recommended but nothing yet. What were your experiences?

I gained around 4lbs in 1st trimester. Most of my weight gain was in 2nd, with some gains and losses (net 3lb gain) in 3rd. It can vary pretty widely person to person so unless your doctor is concerned, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I started gaining after week 26/27. Morning sickness in the beginning but then no matter how much I ate I still wouldn't gain after that until that point.

I honestly started gaining right away. I was also on a ton of hormone injections for IVF and then started Progesterone injections daily until 13 weeks! I put on some serious weight in the beginning. Since stopping all the medicine at 13 weeks I have slowed down in gaining weight! Everyone's body is different : ) Like PP said, if your doctor isn't worried then I would think you are on still on the right track! Good Luck!

I didn't gain a pound until around 17 weeks, and I was eating CONSTANTLY! I was getting pretty concerned. But then it was like overnight I put on 5lbs. Since then I've been gaining gradually and consistently (I'm now 24 weeks). So unless your doc is worried, I wouldn't be. These babies are taking A LOT from us!

I gained 5 lbs in the first tri, and an additional 45 in the next two. I was underweight to begin with, though, so my doctor was happy to see me put on a lot of lbs, and the babies ended up being almost 12 lbs put together. Like PP said, every body is different, so unless your doctor is concerned, you are probably doing fine.

I gained 5lbs in the first 16 weeks and then 2lbs a week for the remainder of my pg, for a total of 60lbs. I am pretty average-sized. My boys were 5 and 5 8 at 34w, so good sizes given their GA at birth.

I gained my first two lbs in week 11... I'm almost 16 weeks now and up 8lbs. My weight gain with my DD started much sooner, but I was in better shape at the start of this pregnancy so maybe that contributed.

I did not see my first real jump in weight gain until 13 weeks or so. At 31 weeks I am up 22 lbs.

I started gaining very early. And was up about 20 lbs by 16 weeks. I stopped gaining late in the 3rd trimester and gained about 50 overall.

I didn't gain anything till 16 weeks now im 24 weeks and have gained 15lbs.

I actually lost weight in the first trimester, but I think it was because I'd been breastfeeding DS1 and then my supply dried up when I got pregnant. I didn't really gain weight until sometime early on in the first trimester, maybe week 15 or 16? Even then it started out slow and didn't pick up til I was closer to the third tri.

Me too, only I stopped progesterone at 10 weeks.

At 13 or 14 weeks I hadn't gained anything. Now at 17w3d, I've gained about 8lbs.
