Weight gain so far?

amdeppen724 · June 2014

2 weeks ago I hadn't gained any weight. Today I got on the scale and I'm up 3 pounds. I'm only 7 + 4 so I wasn't expecting to gain already. Is this weight gain normal?

snooks721 · June 2014

I"m sure it's just bloat/water weight.

TBH, I haven't gotten on the scale since I got my BFP. I don't want to obsess over it.

starrynight1658 · June 2014

I'm up two pounds so far. With my last pregnancy, my OB said about ten pounds total until 20 weeks and then a pound a week after that, give or take, would be healthy for me. I gained 33 total and I'm hoping to stay in that ballpark this time,too!

maryxc1 · June 2014

I am pretty much even or up a pound. I weigh about five pounds more than I did at the beginning of my last pregnancy so that may be part of the reason. I gained 50 lbs last time and really don't want to repeat that.

wintersong139 · June 2014

I gained two pounds of bloat. Yuck!

JessicaxLynn87 · June 2014

Please don't stress it. I gained weight rapidly with DD and stayed stressed over it. I wish I hadn't because it was so irrelevant. It could be water because I know we are all very bloated right now.

munchkin8590 · June 2014

I haven't gained any weight so far. I gained 50 lbs with my first so I'm being really careful this time around

junebugjam · June 2014

I haven't stepped on a scale since my BFP. It's a non issue for me right now. There are too many other things to worry about. My doctor never even mentioned my weight last time.

modernfairytale8709 · June 2014

I actually lost 2 pounds, which is fine with me. I'm plus size, and on a low carb diet(basically what a woman with GD would be on) to manage my PCOS. I hadn't lost a pound in weeks, and suddenly I'm down 2.

I'm not obsessing about weight, though. I know how to eat healthily and manage my diet, and the little sea monkey just gives me extra motivation to stick with it.

mh269650 · June 2014

I am still very early but no weight gain on the scale. However, I am very bloated in my gut! Pants feel fine in the morning and get more snug throughout the day.

Irishcurls · June 2014

Yeah, only your doctor can tell you if you're on track for your pregnancy. Try to make some healthy choices and don't stress too much.

thegoodpotato · June 2014

I'm pretty sure it's mostly water weight. Drink a ton, and you'll probably go down again.

Vanopynen · June 2014

I feel ya, so bloated right now! But its all worth it in the end

LilTiger15 · June 2014

8 weeks 3 days...I'm up 1.5 pounds

mels823 · June 2014

Around 2 pounds and I'm at 8 weeks. I know I ate kind of crappy for a few weeks because I was hungry 24\7 and all I wanted was carbs, but since week 7 I slowed down bc of morning sickness and I've been eating much better. I'm also thinking a good chunk of the weight you put on is bloat! It's not impossible to gain 3 pounds in 2 weeks, but it would take eating like a sumo wrestler to get there!! Just keep drinking lots of water and don't stress about it!

lulu783 · June 2014

4lbs at 8 weeks. I feel horrible, but it's alot of bloat coupled with carbs for M/S. Hopefully I can even out soon.

Ducktale · June 2014

I hate that I care so much about this. I didn't really even care all that much about weight before I was pregnant but now it seems like over emphasized topic (gain the perfect amount!!!! And at the perfect time!!!! Not a pound too much or too little)

Plus my eating is all out of whack, I have to eat more frequently and more carb heavy to control the nausea so it's not like I can eat the same healthy balanced meals like before. It's hard to gauge.

SallyAnneS · June 2014

I am up 2lbs... I also haven't pooped in 2 days so i figure that is the reason.
I gained 30lbs with Ds so i am hoping for about the same this time.

XSweetieO0O · June 2014

I'm up between 4-5 pounds! I stepped on the scale for the first time today. I need to be good to myself and keep remembering there is a human taking form in me, I'm not fat. It's also probably bloat for a lot of us too. I'm only 5'1" on a good day so any weight gain looks extreme.

michelle142 · June 2014

At this point, it's mostly bloat/water weight.

I haven't gained or lost at this point. Last time I lost 15 lbs in 1st tri because I was so sick, we shall see how this time around goes.

Erze · June 2014

I don't care how much I've gained. My clothes still fit, I'm still healthy and so is little Velociraptor. That's all that matters.

It's ridiculous that anybody should care.

jaztastic · June 2014

I gained 3lbs... I dont really think it matters right now.

Yep me exactly!!

Oem617 · June 2014

I have gained 4lbs.

But I also haven't been able to go #2 in a few days. I have been eating bad lately and am mad at myself for it. The bloat is not helping.

kerrigrooves · June 2014

3# but I only want carbs feeling so sick so I expected it. I exercise daily so thats the best I can do. The first time I gained 38 and lost it in 6 mo so I know it will come off again...dont worry ladies - it's ok, just stay active!

Kayla*Marie · June 2014

I had lost 5 pounds right away. I attribute it to still breastfeeding LO1 and having to stay active coaching. Since then I've gained 3 of them back. Like everyone else said, don't obsess over it. It all evens out in the end. I think I gained 20-25 pounds with our first.

mamabisme · June 2014

I haven't gained any scale weight yet. However, I am rocking a noticeable blump by the end of each day so I'm certainly looking a little fluffier than usual.

StephanieLBerg · June 2014

Yes it's normal. Im 7 weeks today, and over the past two weeks I've gained 5lbs, then lost it all, now I'm up 2lbs again. Its just bloating and water weight. Drink lots of water, up your intake if you already are, and the bloat should dissipate in a few days.

caraleeb · June 2014

i've gained 8 thanks to quitting smoking? but back on track now.

iflovecouldhavesavedher · June 2014

I've gained about 3 lbs too

Irishcurls · June 2014

I don't even own a scale....guess I'll just base it off whatever the doc's office says.

HerHighness · June 2014

Im down 3lbs.... But honestly im tall and have a lil chub to begin with so my weight fluctuates up/down 5lbs frequently.

My blump is making me look 5 months pregnant no matter what i weigh and ive had to break out the fat pants from before i lost 30lbs.

Paleomama · June 2014

0 so far

one2andnow3 · June 2014

I am down 3lbs, but I am starting to feel the bloat coming on.

sweetdreamz6700 · June 2014

By my 1st visit I had gained about 3lbs. I'm too scared to step on the scale now. Nope.

kimmykaye · June 2014

Weight gain/loss will all depend on you body type. I'm beginning overweight, and so my doc doesn't want me to gain much. I'm one of the weirdos that weighs myself every morning, it just became habit. So far I've lost 5lbs, but with my blump, you'd think I gained 10. Lol. Last pregnancy I lost about 15 pounds, then gained them back plus about 5lbs during the second and third tri's.

AbbyLCarter · June 2014

Been eating healthier and drinking only water & I have lost 4 pounds! I'll take it because I'm sure I'll gain it right back soon!

thegoodpotato · June 2014

Nothing yet. But it's coming.....

chicagojackie · June 2014

With baby 1 I was already up 7# by week 10. I overall gained 22# with her, 10 more in 2t then 2# in 3.

PeaceofKia · June 2014

I refuse to get on a scale until my first appt on July 10th. I don't feel any heavier, just puffier, lol.

newlywedtanya · June 2014

I haven't gained any weight yet. I gained 19 pounds with my son because I lost 4 in the first trimester because of MS and struggled to gain that back. Hopefully I will gain at a steady rate this time around. Very very excited though.
