16 weeks exactly and am down between 12 and 15 lbs. Not overweight at all but my body just seems to absorb my food intake so much faster! A little bump but everything else including my face is so much slimmer!
Almost 14 weeks and I seemed to have lost weight again (I had gained back week 11-12). I'm not trying and I'm not happy about it. Despite the drugs the nausea is still occasionally kicking my butt. Just where this missing weight has come from is anyone's guess. Perhaps my wrists are looking a bit thinner?
I'm 17 weeks and have gained almost 10 pounds. My starting weight was 123 and I'm 5'7" so I definitely can afford to gain some. I gained 50 pounds with my son and managed to lose it all naturally and then some over the course of about a year. I trust my body and know it's doing the right thing to support a healthy pregnancy.
15 weeks 3 days and I'm up 6 lbs. It sounds like weight gain varies based on a bunch of individual factors. I agree with @mrscaterosales as long as we're eating healthy, drinking lots of water and exercising even somewhat regularly, don't stress too much about weight gain :] Our bodies support our growing babies in the way that's best for us as individuals.
I'm at 14.5 weeks and I've lost a pound. I was in a healthy weight range pre-pregnancy, but about 10 pounds over my preferred weight. I'd been cutting calories, but of course have been trying to eat at maintenance since i found out I was pregnant.
I'm 15 weeks Monday and had lost about 10 lbs. I just gained about 2 or 3 lbs back though. It's my third pregnancy and I've lost st the beginning with all of them dye to so much morning sickness and nausea.
14 weeks, about a 5lb gain. I'm trying really hard to keep it low though because I could stand to lose a few. It's not fair, lol. Wish I could eat for two.
I had lost 5lbs in the beginning but I just gained 3 back in a matter of 10 days! So... I guess baby girl is going to actually make mommy look pregnant. My son took it VERY easy on me. Only had a belly nothing else. This time, I have love handles! Eeeek!
I was 124 prior to trying to conceive. Fertility treatments and three months later, we were fortunate enough to get pregnant. I gained roughly about 10 pounds from the fertility meds. Now, at 18 weeks, I'm at 148. I'm super jealous of the girls that haven't gained anything!
That's great! At 14 wks I finally started getting my energy back and went back to the gym. Scared to do anything but treadmill and mat work though. What do you do? Love that you workout everyday. Go girl!
I am 18 weeks and I have only gained 2 lbs. I lost about 7 lbs in the first tri but I was not sick. I have been eating everything in sight but not really putting on weight.
Down 10lbs- had a lot of nausea ( only with meals--) and was in the overweight catagory to start with.... But my doctor had told me I'm not allowed to lose anymore.....
I'm 16.5 weeks and up about 10 lbs. or maybe a few more than that. I'm in denial. I've been eating like a freaking maniac this week...I eat, then I'm starving. veggies are not going to fill me up, but I don't know what else to do. I try to make as many of my snacks and meals healthy. I hope this hunger stage passes soon or I'll be a whale by the end. Aside from my belly it's gone to my hips/love handles I really want to slow down the gaining.
14w3d and I am down 25lbs as of this morning. The doctor isn't worried and I know that I shouldn't be either but I can't really help it. He says unless I feel drained 24/7 then the babies and I are getting the nutrients we need. I started the pregnancy obese and still could stand to lose probably 60lbs to get to a good BMI. But I am hoping for peace of mind, I maintain like I should especially because we just found out a week ago that this time around we are expecting twins!
I'm 16 weeks and have gained no weight. Im actually down a pound from when I got pregnant. It's not from sickness or anything like that. I never had morning sickness or was nauseated.
I am 13 weeks 4 days and I have lost 18 lbs, but was overweight to begin with. I was concerned early on, but Dr said as long as you are not starving yourself the baby will get from you what it needs. I have had horrible nausea but have been eating smaller meals all throughout the day. My grandma told me that way back when, women said being pregnant was the best time to lose weight. I thought that was weird, as I thought most women mostly gain weight... lol
17 weeks tomorrow. Haven't gained anything yet but I was a little overweight to begin with and had really bad morning sickness for my first couple of months.
14 weeks and haven't gained anything yet. My breasts are much larger and I'm developing a bump so my weight is just shifting.
Another overweight friend told me when she was pregnant not to worry about gaining too much weight. She said "look- skinny girls get pregnant and they're like oh my gosh, I'm eating for two! Let's have cheeseburgers and fries and then up gaining weight because they always ate salads... Girls like us- we already eat the cheeseburgers and fries, so nothing has changed!"
Re: How much weight have you gained?
Only 3 days total between weeks 6 - 10 did I throw up, and maybe a few more nauseas days, so I can't explain it away by that.
Supposed to gain 28-40 lbs.
