How much have you gained already? Am I normal?

islarose12 · May 2015

I have put on 5kg already!!! I'm only 18 weeks! I'm worried I've been over indulging...

alexazen · May 2015

I don't think you are overindulging. Every person is different so as long as you are being healthy then you are fine and there's not much else you can do. I had to look up that 5 kg converts to around 11 pounds. I'm 18 weeks and have gained 16 pounds, or around 7 kg. I'm having twins, but see how much more I've gained than you! As long as your doctor says you are going well then there's nothing to worry about.

I agree that our bodies kind of do whatever they want. Unless you're just eating junk and getting no exercise, try not to worry.

16 weeks, +10 lbs. Finally have a bit more energy to go walking and swimming and i actually lost 2 lbs last week. I'm already a bit overweight so I know is important not to gain too much and thankfully OB says I'm healthy enough for this stage, just gotta keep moving :-)

19 weeks tomorrow, I've gained 12 lbs

I'm 18 weeks

StephN310 · May 2015

I've gained about 10# and am almost 17 weeks. I was in the overweight BMI bracket so my goal is no more than 25. I don't think it is good to obsess but I think it is smart to be aware! Just be active and don't indulge in daily treats! I gained 23 with my first and 16 with my second so I know I can do it!

emilymw14 · May 2015

I'm just 18 weeks today and I have gained a total of 15 lbs! I weighed 105 before I was pregnant and now I weigh 120, the most I've ever weighed in my whole life! It's a little nerve-racking but my body wouldn't gain it if I didn't need it

LiveNLove44 · May 2015

It depends on where you started!!! Knowing what anyone else gains or looks like at any given point in their pregnancy won't help you to eat better or gain differently. Trust yourself. If you think you're over-indulging, you might be. Just be mindful of what you're choosing to eat and make sure to eat a variety!

GunnerK · May 2015

I'm 16 weeks and finally gained a good 5lbs/2.3kg back (I had lost 20lbs/9kg from week 6 to week 14 from being sick all the time) so it feels good to eat again plus with just some regular adult gummy vitamins helps with my energy and fatigue as well

anorthro · May 2015

Well, I think I've got you all beat

. I started at 140 (I'm 5'9" tall) and have gained 18 pounds in 18 weeks!!! I'm gonna be a whale!

CCasey2015 · May 2015

danixbanani24 · May 2015

I haven't gained anything and I'm worried about it! I'm 17 weeks but I'm a big girl to begin with so I guess it's ok?

pocogirl89 · May 2015

16 weeks gained 5lbs, definitely lost a few in first trimester as I couldn't eat much, just glad I am putting something on and I'm sure the pounds are on their way as my cream cheese addiction is REAL.

NoreJoyce · May 2015

spnobbe · May 2015

15w4d and I've lost 5 pounds but I have cut out caffeine and junk food. So my doctor isn't too worried. With my first I didn't gain any till about 24 weeks and ended up gaining 20 pounds.

leeannaRowlett · May 2015

18 weeks and gained 10
Pounds

Celly2015 · May 2015

I'm 18 weeks and I have lost 3 lbs. this is my second child and I am a bit in the heavier side. For me, my doc said that it is good based on my eating and exercising!!!! By the way for those who are in the same boat as me, my doc said that it is safe to lose up to 15lbs. But not too fast and not more than that. If you are truly worried, as I was, sit down with your doc for sure.

mrsdawnjoy · May 2015

19 weeks and I've gained 8 pounds. I was overweight to begin with, so I'm hoping to stay at a total gain of 20-25.

stephaniemsander · May 2015

I've gained 10 pounds in 18 weeks. I swear I'm not eating a lot extra though! And I've been staying active and exercising 1 or 2 times a week.

mama3050715 · May 2015

I'm loosing...down over 10 lbs.

valerierose15 · May 2015

If you had a healthy prepregnancy weight, you should gain 25-35 lbs total. Stop worrying about the numbers on the scale, ladies. You are pregnant, that number is supposed to go up. Be mindful of what you're eating and enjoy creating your tiny human being.

Benson30 · May 2015

I have gained around 14 pounds at 18 weeks today. Was underweight to begin with so I can only assume this is what we both need. My Doctor is not concerned and I'm finally feeling good

aubreyalt · May 2015

I'm 19 weeks and I've gained about 20 lb, I feel really good and my doctor hasn't mentioned anything but when I see photos of myself I'm just mortified. I am over-reactin?

kim1228 · May 2015

I'm 15w and I've gained 3. Haven't really changed how I've eaten except cutting out deli meat (so yes, icecream every night still lol), and I run about 6 miles every day.

kbp623 · May 2015

I'm 17 weeks today and I've gained 12 lbs.

moonseeds92 · May 2015

I have no idea how much I've gained because I don't want to know. I'm eating healthy 80% of the time and I work out twice a week. I really don't feel like obsessing over a number as long as I look and feel healthy, I could care less what the scale says. Besides, everyone is different. Before this pregnancy I would work out and lose inches but gain weight because of muscle. If I wasn't visibly getting thinner I would have thought that I needed to eat less or resort to more drastic diet or exercise routines to lose weight, when in fact I was perfectly healthy. And that's the story of why I don't own a scale

CaitLewis15 · May 2015

I have finally gained 8 lbs or so (18 weeks this week). I am tall and have an athletic build (my hips are narrower than my shoulders), and now I'm sort of just expanding outward between my neck and thighs. My husband is so excited. He told me a few days ago I look like a bunch of circles held together by a torso.

Edited because words are hard

babykitcat · May 2015

Do what I do and only weigh yourself at the doctor. It eliminates all unnecessary stress! People keep telling me I look great. So I'll take it

On a side note...Weight gain pops into my head lots. I just make myself think about something else.

carlymarie021 · May 2015

18 weeks and gained 3 lbs so far. But the bump is so noticeable. It's very weird lol. I'm pretty sure IL be huge my 9th month I have a curvy frame.
