Weight gain

katrina0584 · August 2014

How much weight has everyone gained so far? I'm 15 weeks along and I've already gained 10 pounds...I feel like this is a lot so far. Where are you all at?

lliivvyy · August 2014

I'm 14.5 and gained 5lbs. Had pretty bad sickness thou

MichaelSC28 · August 2014

I am sitting around 6 lbs at 16 weeks.

Smelh324 · August 2014

I'm at around 9 pounds at 14 weeks. It feels like a lot to me too. But then again, I had no real morning sickness, I was just super hungry and wanted to nap at all times. So sleep plus stuffing my face equals gaining early

oh well. I am 5'4" so being at 130 right now doesn't look like too much yet. Just jumbo boobs and a small bump

MLC1990 · August 2014

18 weeks and 5 pounds so far.

TXUltraRunner · August 2014

At my 17 week appointment I had gained 13 pounds. I freaked out. I work out more than most non-pregnant people, I don't eat crap and I've really been watching my calories. After my "episode" in the doctor's office I have to get on the scale there backwards now. LOL

16 weeks, down 2 lbs which is actually high for me. In the past 2 pregnancies I was down about 8 lbs at this point so this one has been my best puking wise.

MNgirl326 · August 2014

i am putting a disclaimer out there that I am kind of "fluffy" to begin with and my doctor wanted me to gain as little weight as possible.

As of my 16 week appointment today I am -2.

luckylady18 · August 2014

18 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 6 pounds. Was pretty sick at the beginning though and I really just got an appetite.

They say that everyone is different and just b/c you gain faster at the beginning doesn't mean you'll keep gaining that quickly. I'd only be concerned if your doctor is.

BookitBoo · August 2014

At my last appointment (12 weeks) I was down 5 pounds. I'm also fluffy but the doctor didn't want me to lose weight -- maybe she was concerned I was actively trying to lose weight? Which is pretty silly.

Yeah- my doctor joked about it today, which made me feel kind of bad. She assured me she was joking and she just doesn't want me to lose anymore weight. I assured her i wasn't actively trying to lose and she knew that. However she did say that it has happened.

shannjohnston · August 2014

16 weeks and about 5 pounds. I gained 45 with DS and hated how huge I was at the end (I was well over 200 lbs). While I lost the weight, I don't want to get that big again this time, and I want to 'save' some of my potential weight gain for the third trimester and the holidays...

jennyhatt · August 2014

I actually don't look. If there is an issue they will tell me but I prefer not to know. My body is doing it's thing

WillCMyInk · August 2014

At a little over 18w I'm up about 10lbs. Like someone else said...everyone is different and if you have any concerns you should be talking to your doctor and not the internet strangers here. If your doctor hasn't raised any concerns, then try to enjoy it!

mammamaggie · August 2014

I'm down 2 pounds from where I started, I'm 18 weeks now. I did this with my son, weighed the same the day I gave birth as the day I got pregnant... not sure why. I eat like I always do, just not so late at night b/c of some terrible heartburn. I'd love it if my body would act like this when I wasn't pregnant. I'm counting on Christmas goodies to pack on some pounds towards the end

Stargirlb · August 2014

Not sure don't have a scale.

amira2 · August 2014

Almost 15w and gained 2lbs.. So much diff from dd which I had gained almost 15 by now and ended up gaining 82lbs total. I lost 86 so I'm watching what I eat and exercise cause with my dd I didn't at all.

YaMrWhite · August 2014

Like @TXUltraRunner‌ I work out more than the average person and eat well. I'm up 9 lbs at 17 weeks. It is what it is.

MusicFanatic · August 2014

18+ weeks and 10 pounds as of last visit.

tripletoe · August 2014

I'm up 9 lbs at 18 weeks 4 days....I'm really hoping I don't gain the 38 lbs I did with DD!

motherboy · August 2014

18 weeks, 9 lbs. Not worrying about numbers yet.

Isn't 38 pounds right around normal? I read 25-35 is "normal". I dont think 38 is that much! I hope I ONLY gain 38! haha.

elleswarth · August 2014

I was underweight to begin, but I've put on 10-15lbs, depending on the scale/time of day/water weight factor, and I'm 18 weeks today. I was riding the zofran train (and paying for it with epic constipation) from weeks 6-14, so I never had an appetite issue, and clearly the scale shows that. Eat, sleep, eat, eat, eat, sleep = weight gain. Oh well.

SpaceGirlSpiff · August 2014

I'm really not keeping track beyond weighing myself at the doctor when I go in... I think at my last appointment at 16 w I was up a total of 8 pounds? I don't even know.

It's going to vary with everyone based on so many factors, the most glaring of which is everyone's body responds in its own way to pregnancy...pointless to compare.

Don't worry unless your doctor does.

jneden · August 2014

I'm 17 weeks and still havent gained anything but I lost 7 pounds due to morning sickness. I'm just starting to gain that back.

Josie400 · August 2014

I'm 17w1d. I lost 10 pounds during 1st tri and am just about back to my bfp weight.

LaStella25 · August 2014

17 weeks and I have gained 3 pounds since pre-pregnancy weight. My doc only wants me to gain 20 pounds.

storm08 · August 2014

I'm down 8 lbs, but just starting to return to somewhat normal eating habits due to severe nausea. Unfortunately this go round I've also go acid reflux that isn't making things too pleasant. I was just in for a checkup today and my doctor said if she didn't start to see a little gain by my next appointment we might need to get a little more serious about it aka the milkshake diet. No lie, she prescribed me occasional milkshakes with DS when I was still at -10 at 20 weeks. But at the end I gained those 10 + 15 by the time DS was born. Everyone gains at different rates.

Jellybean707 · August 2014

I am 15 weeks today(ticker is wrong) and I am -1. I am 5'4 and start weight was 150, current weight is 149. I was told to gain between 15 and 20 lbs based on start weight.

letsgox · August 2014

I'm not sure at this point. I was up 2.5 lb at 15 weeks (2.5 weeks ago). I was kind of upset because I don't want to gain too much weight, but the doctor wasn't concerned so I've tried not to be. As someone who has been in recovery for an ED, I am aware that any fixation on my weight could easily spiral. I try to focus on health, not numbers.

LuckyPenny1231 · August 2014

I'm down 3lbs. But I'm overweight and still dealing with nausea.

I was a lot thinner with my first pregnancy and I was up by 10 lbs at this point.

I don't want to gain as much because it was hard on my body, my feet and hips hurt so much I could hardly walk at the end. I am only 5'2 so I think it was a lot for my frame. I wasn't as responsible with my eating as I should have been, and I should have been more active. I'm hoping to stay below 30 this time, but I'm not going to dwell on it, I'm just going to try to be more healthy!

Latham12 · August 2014

5lbs at 16 weeks

AlfiesMOM · August 2014

17+ and I have gained 3lbs. At one point I was up 5lbs but I wasn't feeling great last week so I lost 2!

JoaPata · August 2014

Almost 18 weeks and I have lost 9 pounds. I am overweight so guessing this trimester I will catch up to everyone. My doctor wants me to gain about 25 lbs.

kelseypell · August 2014

I'm 17 weeks and 5 days only gained 2lbs so far

rainbows · August 2014

Im 18 weeks and I have gained 7 lbs so far. I lost 4 during the first trimester due to nausea. Im trying for 1 lb a week for the rest of the pregnancy. Im overweight already and dont want to put on too much.

donehue · August 2014

I'm kind of obsessing over weight myself. I have my 16 week appointment tomorrow and kind of had it in my head that I didn't want to gain any weight until after that point. However last week I finally jumped up 1-2lbs. I'm 5'6 and the day I went into labor with my daughter I weighed 148. Six months later I weighed 115 so I know it comes off and there is no reason to obsess. I gained a few lbs after my multiple losses and I'm kind of considering that pregnancy weight. I guess I'm also scared that the second time will be harder to get off, harder to EBF, etc. My husband keeps asking when I'm going to stop obsessing and I keep telling him after the next appointment...

Samantha0385 · August 2014

16 weeks and haven't gained/lost any weight. I'm 126lbs. Is there a time that I should start to worry about not gaining weight? The nurse kind of looked at me funny at the visit last week but didn't say anything and neither did the doctor. The baby's been healthy and sounds good on the monitor so I'm not worrying. I'm eating well so I guess the weight will just come later.

liladelphia215 · August 2014

~16 weeks and up about 3lbs. I'm overweight and my one of the doctors in my practice told me that Ideally my weight would stay the same. While I'm not stressing over it, I am trying to limit the gain as much as I can. I gained ~55 with DD.

IHeartScience · August 2014

Almost 15 weeks...was up 6, seem to be down 2 again. Not worrying unless my doctor tells me to.
