14-15 weeks, already gained almost 10lbs

mccartykem · April 2015

Hi!!! Is anyone else struggling with weight gain? This is my first preganacy and I have gained about 10lbs already. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow. Is this normal?

I was up about 5 pounds at that point. But everyone is different, and I know watching the numbers on the scale going up every week is discouraging, as long as your doctor says you are ok, I wouldn't worry.

I was down 15 lbs by that point. But i am a chubby momma. Everyone is different. Your doctor will tell you what you need to do. My cousin gained a little more than that by then, and he told her to start watching.

I'm a steady gainer. I start gaining in first tri and never have a big jump, but I gain throughout. I ended up at the exact same weight with both full term pregnancies despite starting out at different weights and being much more cognizant of my eating with DD2.

Anyway, all that to say as long as you are making healthy choices let your body do what it needs to do.

I'm right there with you! I'm almost 18 weeks now, and i've gained about 13 pounds!!! Of course mine is barely any here and there, then boom! I feel like I'm all belly. B-)

A little late, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents. I was worried because I had gained 12 pounds by 15 weeks! I was scared I was going to blow up (this is first pregnancy so I had no idea how by body would react to being pregnant). I'm 24 weeks now and have only gained 1 pound since then. Doc said it was totally fine and baby is growing just fine. I know you're freaking out, but every woman will gain weight differently and that's ok add long as you and your LO are healthy. My cousin is due at the same time as me and steadily gained weight the whole time. My weight gain has been anything but. Try not to stress too much about the number though as long as your doc isn't worried!

Im 15 weeks pregnant and im up 10 lbs as well this is my 3rd pregnancy and I tried working out but im sooo tired and sooo hungry. Lol just enjoy this pregnancy the weight literally falls off after baby! I gained 55 with my first lost the weight, back to 145 then gained 35 with my son and went right back to normal weight so im enjoying the pregnancy and ignoring the scale im happy, baby is healthy thats all that matters!! I highly recommend the bellefit after baby it gets you right back to normal!!

With my first I gained A LOT of weight, and honestly its the best time to watch out for it. Try to reach for healthy snacks and water instead of soda and chips. As much as cravings might kill you, push them aside. I craved bad food with my first, and lets say its almost 5 years later and I am still paying for it.

HOWEVER, I am not saying its due to bad eating, some women just gain a lot of weight during pregnancy. Remember it is your first and your body is adjusting. Your metabolism slows down, and your hormones take a toll on everything.. its okay.

1st Trimester I gained roughly 4 pounds, I'm 14.5 weeks now an have gained about 8-10 pounds all together, all belly, belly, belly

fitmama75 · April 2015

I'm 14 weeks on Saturday and I've gained 9 pounds. This is my third. I gained a lot with the first two. I started out athletic and toned so I'm just staying active. I will be happy if I can keep this pregnancy to 35-40 pounds. I gained 50 my first and 61 pounds my second. Ouch!

SantistevanMommie · April 2015

I'm almost 23wks and I've only gained 3 lbs. my dr hasn't said anything about it but I started out overweight. If they are worried about it they'll tell you to eat more

Lurking from 1st Tri bc Im nearly finished w that!!
Anyhow, Im 12 weeks and have gained almost 8lb already

It is really shocking bc w my first I only gained a like 2-3 by the end of the 1st tri. I am going to ask my doctor at my next appointment if she thinks I am doing ok.

17 weeks today and have gained 8-9 pounds since the first trimester. As of today, I can't stop eating. god knows how much more I'll gain...

I'm 15 weeks 2 days and got weighed at my ob appt today, looks like an 8lb gain so far.

I agree 100% with @stefmdek. Some women just gain differently

Not to freak everyone out but by 12w I had gained 20lbs! Basically I gained 20% of my body weight and I was freaking out. But it's stopped and I haven't done anything differently but return to the gym since I feel better.

One of my friends who has 3, gained 70lbs with her last and she's now a stick pp. I think everyone gains differently due to body chemistry? Or at least this is what I am telling myself!

I am 14 weeks and I have gained 9 lbs! I don't even eat much anymore. I eat usually a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a snack and dinner. My mom in law gained a lot with all of hers, but with her 3rd (last) she lost A LOT of weight after having him.
