Weight gain :) How much so far and how far along?

DoubleUp8 · June 2014

I had gained 8lbs at the 16 week appointment and the doctor said I was right on track. She said the goal is 25-30, but she is most concerned with healthy eating and regular exercise....So, the piece of chocolate cake in my lunch bag is breaking the rules a bit, but I will take a walk tonight to balance it out!

I'm up 7 pounds at 16 weeks.

Carebella · June 2014

I'm up about 10-11 at 17w, 3d. It's more than I was expecting to gain this soon so I'm hoping it was just a quick start and that I'll level off for awhile. I know part if it has been the struggle with a lack of appetite the nausea that has made me prone to eating unhealthier foods and larger portions when I can actually get food down. The lack of energy and nausea also made me less active.

I just keep trying to make myself be more active and eat better as well as reading the great posts/articles that remind us that now is the best time ever to be growing and that it's part of a miracle.

Eta: oh yeah, and all the calories from drinks when I developed an aversion to water haven't helped :-p

Finally up 1 lb at 16wk6d after losing 8 due to sickness (and not morning sickness, just sick sickness)

No weight gain yet. 14w2d

TXPyroMom · June 2014

I'm 17 wks and down 10 lbs. This weekend I ate all the food and gained a pound, but Five Guys for lunch and frozen yogurt for dinner last night was totally worth it

wildflower75 · June 2014

I've gained 4 lbs since my BFP... I am 16 weeks.

It will be interesting to see how much I end up gaining...
My last pregnancy I started out almost 30 pounds heavier than this time and I only gained 15 lbs total, I think mostly because I had GD.
I just passed my glucose test and although I am watching what I eat, I am not being as strict as I was last time.... But I am exercising more than last time!

mrsransom · June 2014

Around 13 lbs, I'd estimate (I'm afraid to weigh to verify!!!) & I'm 15.5 weeks. I eat way too much food that is not healthy & I've had to cut back my workouts a lot. I'm going to have my work cut out for me to get back to normal when this pregnancy is over! :-/

runningmama14 · June 2014

I've gained about 7 lbs and I'm 16 weeks.

LoR2010 · June 2014

I gained 5lbs almost immediately, but I've only gained 3 in the last 8 weeks. I'm 5'8" and went from 125 to 133.

babidaj · June 2014

12-13lb at 17w4d. I was 120 before. 5'8" or 5'9". Gained only about 5lb the first 12 weeks or so, then quickly packed another 5lb in 4 weeks. Asked dr. At week 16 if I should be concerned about gaining too much weight, but she said no. So lets see what she says at the next appt

mkuck · June 2014

20 pounds at 17 weeks, although I lost 12 my first trimester. I give in to ice cream and peanut butter all the time.

LMM1215 · June 2014

1lb. At 17 weeks.

Shananagann · June 2014

I feel like I'm just maintaining and honestly it was starting to scare me that maybe I needed to gain weight for the baby, but all these posts make me feel a bit better. Everyone is different. I'm 15 weeks and I've been volleying between gaining and losing 2lbs for the past few weeks with no real change in my activity. I feel like I'm eating 'normally' like from before I was pregnant, but perhaps a bit more often.

Dang. I guess I should slow down...I've gained 9 and I'm 15 weeks! But mmm, donuts.

Me too - up about 9 pounds at 15w because of ice cream!!

Up 4 pounds at 17 weeks. I am pretty health conscious, so that's with barely any indulging and hitting the pavement either walking or running 20-30 miles a week.

I'm so jealous! I have a tear in my placenta so no running for me.

alibearo · June 2014

11 pounds at 17 weeks... Yikes.

soccer4us2013 · June 2014

16 weeks today, up 2 pounds.

vb8994 · June 2014

At 16 weeks I have gain at least 3 lbs

nikki11234 · June 2014

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant and I'm down 14 pounds from where I was at 6 weeks. I blame the really bad all day sickness, which I continue to have, and being very turned off by food. My dr. hasn't really said much about my weight, she says I'm still healthy and my baby looks good.

Karla112414 · June 2014

I'm 15.2 weeks and I've put on 4 lbs. although I feel like I've put on 10. I think it's because I'm bloated

anotherjenj · June 2014

I'm 18 weeks and have gained about 9 pounds. Seems reasonable to me, especially considering I pretty much could barely move at all, let alone continue my running regimen in my first tri. Much more energy and able to exercise now.

EricaG1014 · June 2014

3lbs at 15w1d. I'm a little overweight so I'm hoping to keep weight gain to a minimum! I only gained 9lbs with DD.

krgriffin26 · June 2014

At my 16 weeks appointment I was up 2 pounds from my very first appointment. I am pretty pleased with that. I was already heavy to begin with so I have been trying to eat better foods and staying away from my sweet or carb filled cravings.

mussalynn · June 2014

I never weigh myself in regular life or while pregnant, and my midwives never weigh me either. I know what my body feels like and if I've gained a few or lost a few, and I've definitely gained a few but I don't really care. It is what it is, I'm building a human being and that takes a lot of energy, mostly from banana splits.

Jenpuckett1 · June 2014

I've gained 1 pound and I'm at 15 weeks. My midwife wasn't too happy with me at my 12 week apt. because I hadn't gained a single pound. At least I've gained something!

terberell · June 2014

I just got back from my doc appointment and I've gained 8lbs in 1 month! Yikes! I did lose 4 in the month before that but I was also about 10lbs heavier than normal when I got my BFP. Ughhh. It's hard to believe that with all the vomiting I've been doing I've managed to pack on 8lbs in one month. I blame those damn delicious bagels and gold fish crackers...
