Well...I didn't know until just now and you made me curious. I'm 13 weeks and I've gained 8. Ugh. I gained 70 last time and I swore never again, but it's not looking good. I mean, the weight came off fine, but I got a few stretch marks and didn't with the first and I just felt so miserable moving around the last few months and I had a BIG baby and I was hoping for a more average size one this time. lol I'm terrified of the idea of having a C-section and worry a big baby might increase the chances.
17+3 no weight gain but my belly is huge number 7 for me. My last 3 pregnancies I only gained 10 pounds and babies where healthy I thinks they suck everything out of me. I'm eating a lot too I don't get it.
All we can do is our best, I know weight gain is seen in our culture as something to be avoided or ashamed of. I just want you all to remember how beautiful and strong you are for growing your little humans. Do your best to stay healthy.....And don't stress about the # on the scale. Our little ones also will benefit from us loving ourselves though I'm sure it might be hard for us to adjust to our new selves after delivery. On another note it is weird for me, even being active, to know if I'm still staying healthy when I look so different. I have stayed within the range suggested and I am 15 weeks tomorrow...I'm sure I need to cut back on some of the junk....it just seems much more enticing since being pregnant. Good luck and don't forget how amazing your body is in this process!
14.2 weeks. Still down 7 lbs from pre pregnancy. (ALSO convinced it's because I'm not drinking). I was never much of a junky eater, but loved my beers and was heavier then I liked. Thanks to baby, I don't have a choice to drink anymore and once I got preg gers I lost 10lbs!!!! 3lbs back now with a nice round tummy now
16.5 weeks now, and I'm up 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. My pre-pregnancy weight was 10 pounds higher than my normal weight (lots of traveling last Fall and then the holidays). I'm not too worried about gaining weight. I lost 20 pounds four years ago, so I'm confident I'll be able to lose the baby weight. I know there are other active ladies on this board, it would be fun to have some get back in shape threads later this Fall.
Im 16w3d, never had ms, and have lost 8lbs. Doctor isn't worried, told me he wants me to gain only 20lbs by the time in full term. I'm a little bit of a bigger girl, at 215.
16w + 2d and gained 16 lbs!! Quit smoking and appitite was crazy! No morning sickness at all. However, I noticed a huge decrease in second trimester so far. Hoping things stay this way as the scale is depressing. Glad you posted this as I felt very alone.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Gained 6 pounds before pregnancy (had just run a marathon a few months before) and have now gained about 10 pounds at 15 weeks... Hope it slows down but not too worried...
16 weeks and gained five pounds. I am plus sized (16) though and have had lap band so I can't over eat even if I wanted to. I keep telling myself not to stress and have been using this website as a guide: https://www.calculator.net/pregnancy-weight-gain-calculator.html I put in my info and then pinned it to my iPhone home screen so I can check on my progress as I go.

Almost 17 weeks and 12 lbs. I was told that is too much and to slow down. I politely told the male OB to take a long walk off a short bridge. He didn't even read my chart. I was underweight before. I have since changed groups and posted nasty remarks on Every bored possible.
Good for you! 12lbs? I'm double that and barely 20 weeks. Glad you switched OBs.
I'm 15 weeks and at around 10 weeks I gained 4 but now I've lost 6. Dr's don't seem concerned. I'm overweight so it's actually kind of nice to not have an appetite for once haha
@blondehairblueeyeditalianbaby glad to hear I am not the only one not really gaining weight and at 18 weeks. At first after comments from my MIL about how her friends daughter is around the same month and she has been in maternity clothes for a month and is so much bigger than me... I was thinking nice! but then it hit me.. is something wrong?? but I have popped just a little but the weight seems to be saying...I am not complaining and I do know that at some point it will just POP and be 10 pounds gained in a couple weeks (from what people say later in third trimester) but it still doesn't stop me from worrying/thinking "is there something wrong??" can't wait until our next appointment April 13th (gender) and to make sure all is ok!
