I've gained 10 pounds already...

StefanieprStefaniepr member
in 2nd Trimester

and I'm only 14 weeks.  Now I'm the first to admit, I pigged out over the holidays.  I figured if I couldn't drink, I'd have dessert....and anyone else's who didn't finish theirs...and any chocolate that might be hanging around the house.  I wasn't really stressing about it too much until I asked a girlfriend of mine, who is 32 weeks, how much she gained in her first tri.  She said she didn't remember exactly how much she had gained, but she has only gained a total of 22 pounds so far.

I know everyone is different, but please tell me I'm not alone?

    I gained almost that too.  As long as your Dr. says he isn't worried, I would just watch myself from now on.  I try to treat myself often too.

    You aren't alone.  And everyone gains differently.

    Isn't that the standard holiday weight gain?? I think I gained 7 pounds between my 21 and 25 week appointments - whatever!

    12 lbs here- doc told me i couldn't have taco bell anymore because of it though!  basically its not an issue this early on, but if you continue gaining at the same rate it can/will be down the road.

    If it makes you feel better, I gained 7lbs in 2 weeks! Either a growth spurt or overindulgence during the holidays.... I'm thinking the latter! :)

    Please be kind to yourself. My first trimester I gained seven pounds which was due to my doing nothing more than eating (when I wasn't nauseous), going to work, and sleeping. I went from being super active to not so active.

    After week thirteen my gain slowed to about a pound a month. Once I started feeling better, I was more active and no longer gaining weight by osmosis.

    Thanks ladies!  I feel much better.  I might go ahead and throw out the rest of the jumbo Toblerone we have though.  I've eaten 3/4 of it!  Embarrassed

    I've gained 18 total...11 of that was within the last five weeks!! I need to slow it down a bit I think. My doc didn't say much since it was over the holidays.

    I weighed in at 11 pounds gain today.  My doc told me I am ahead of the curve.  Yikes.  Maybe he is trying to keep me in check due to me being in the AMA category?  I don't know but it was not fun to hear.

    With my first three I didn't start gaining any weight until about 15 weeks.....with the last two it's been completely different!  I gained 10 lbs the first trimester, all due to eating whatever didn't make me want to throw-up, usually steak and cheese or some other carb or greasy item.  Oh well.

    I just had appt. yesterday at 15 weeks and I've gained 10.  And I watch what I eat and workout 5-6 times a week!  I don't know where it's going, my clothes still fit, but it's going somewhere...

    I havn't gained any weight so far. I am still 1 lb below where I was when I got pregnant  I lost about 17 lbs. in my first trimester. But it too has it's downside. Instead of being yelled at about too much weight, you are being scolded for not gaining enough.   The whole thing caught me off guard, I'm a chunky person.

    according to the scale at the drs i've gained 3 pounds so far, according to the one at home (i weigh myself the same time of day, once a week right before i get into the shower) i've gained 1 pound. i'm also a little heavy so i dunno if that has a factor.

    I have gained 12 lbs...but I was worried from my last appt I gained originally then next visit lost a few lbs due to M/S...doc was concerned.  We'll I picked up momentum now!  But don't be too worried I just read that you should gain about 2lbs every 4 weeks.  I am going to start prenatal yoga NOT for my weight gain but to prepare for childbirth.  I work in the medical field and a nurse who worked in OB said it helps to keep your core in shape to push. 

    Just went to the doc today - I gained so much because I have been craving juices.  Which have too much simple carbs.  He said to cut down on that and choose complex carbs (the baby feeds off of the carbs - and complex takes the longer to breakdown therefore the baby will feed off of it...rather than simple carbs are used up instantly by us).


    Hope this helps!
