How many lbs have you gained so far?

Lunabella81 · August 2015

I am 9.5 weeks and have only gained 2 lbs.

lindscnn1 · August 2015

I will be 10 weeks tomorrow with baby #5, I have lost 10 pounds so far. I wasn't overweight either, it's just common for me to lose weight during the first trimester.

mshukh · August 2015

Lost about 5 I think. My nausea is so bad I prefer to sleep instead of eating almost anything. I have started working out more right before I found out too. I was 10 over my prepreggo weight from first pregnancy so I'm also trying to lose. Luckily right now it seems easy.

cataleya82 · August 2015

-1 lb at 10 weeks. But I'm overweight & I think should only gain 10 total. I gained 55 with each of my boys but I was at a normal beginning weight with both of them. I'm starting this pregnancy 100 lbs heavier than when I started with my boys. Ugh.

sunnygirl0687 · August 2015

I'm 9w today, and I've lost between 10-12lbs. I've been very nauseous and eating much less than before conception. Hoping the dr isn't too concerned on my lack of weight gain. I'm trying to eat as much and as healthy as I possibly can, but my tummy dosent seem to like that. I am overweight to begin with tho, so really trying to only gain the recommended amount of weight.

lkdorozio · August 2015

I'm 9 weeks and gained 2 as well. It's different with everyone. Some lose weight some gain it more rapidly. Your suppose to gain about 5 pounds in first trimester and then about 25-30 after that, if your in healthy weight range to start. So it sounds like ur pretty on track.

MrsBroughton15 · August 2015

Just 1lb so far. But this kid wants to eat nothing but chips and bread lately so we'll see how that goes...

geshy · August 2015

I have gained 1lbs, surprising because I have been over eating to combat nausea .I am 9 weeks

jstanton0822 · August 2015

I wish I could eat. I love healthy food! I can't wait until the 2nd trimester when I can pig out on veggies all day and never feel guilty or even remotely sad about it!

But right now, I can't eat. Having something in my mouth makes me gag. Preggie pops, gum, toothbrush, pills, iced tea....my own damn tongue! I gag on everything. So I've lost 5 lbs.

dannyjo2012 · August 2015

I've either gained 0 or lost 2, LOL.

That's why I don't like these types of threads. Every woman is different and even with best intentions, some are going to feel bad for gaining "too much". We're all growing a baby and should be gaining weight. It comes off as some people bragging that they haven't gained much (even if that is not the intention).

What is this board for if not to compare with other women? I could say the same thing about every issue. Don't compare your symptoms with mine. Don't compare your ultrasound with mine. Don't compare your food cravings with mine. Yeah, this is a group of all different women who are comparing their one common denominator with each other: Pregnancy.

I also would like to clarify that I was not "bragging" about not gaining weight.

Here is a weight chart. If you have a BMI that falls into normal you can compare your weight gain with mine because I am BMI normal. https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/weight-gain/?pos=1&xid=nl_YourDailyNewsletterfromWhattoExpect_20150804

Meh...while I agree with you that everyone is different, it's a pretty broad generalization to state that not gaining weight is "bragging". I don't think that's fair. This feels like another version of skinny-shaming. lol

Also, many people (myself included) like gaining weight while pregnant. It's just another good sign that all is well.

meg_2006 · August 2015

None. I honestly would have no idea, except they had to weigh me at my WIC appointment. Otherwise I wouldn't even look.

I'm not getting hopeful though. Last time I didn't gain anything the first tri (I wasn't even sick), but by the end I had packed on 60 lbs...and it was not all baby, let me tell ya. Hoping I have a little more self-control this time.

Don't worry about your weight, especially this early! I know some that gain a lot, lose a lot, and hover like me.

SquirrelGiggles83 · August 2015

I've actually lost about 9 pounds - and I'm not trying to diet. (8 weeks)

Knottie1456889319 · August 2015

I have gained zero in the month of July after 3 weighs at appts. I ate 4 asiago bagels today so I'm guessing this about to change

I've also lost, but only about 6lbs.

Danni7535 · August 2015

0 pounds so far. However, last pregnancy I gained 55 pounds

( I gave into my cravings way too much last time, and I'm still 15 pounds heavier than I was when I got pregnant with my son. This time around I'm aiming for at least 10,000 steps a day, and I'm avoiding carbs and sugar (not dieting though... just trying to make better choices).

clairemwalker · August 2015

I havnt put on any, but then again i havnt been eating as much as i usually would. I will probably turn into the hungry lady in my second tri or something. 1st pregnancy so no idea what to expect.

ACleanLife24 · August 2015

-1 since conception... was up a few lbs then started some nausea and MS... I am overweight already because of steroid use so hoping to not put much on

shaebap · August 2015

I've gained 3 pounds and I'm 10 wks

julesr1989 · August 2015

Gained nothing here yet, first baby so no idea what to expect! I'm only 7 weeks though.

AlphabetFish · August 2015

None--I'm still around the same weight I always am. I look all bloated, though.

Laurenc523 · August 2015

Edited to respond do Danni7535:
Oh I feel ya, girl. I never lost the 20 extra pounds from my son and I'm going into this one with a leftover belly. Haven't weighed myself yet, but with my son, I gained 48 and I felt terrible. I'm at risk for GD this time so I have GOT to keep things in check, but I literally ALREADY don't fit into my favorite pair of jeans- like can barely fit them over my ass. This is going to be a long 8 months X_X

CecilB93 · August 2015

I'm 10 weeks and have actually lost about 9lbs as well. No MS, but I've been working out twice a week and trying to eat pretty healthy since mid-May before I was pregnant! This is my first pregnancy, so I'm hoping to gain only as much as I need and avoid gaining too much weight since I started working out to lose weight in the first place!

MsRellieB · August 2015

I'm 9.5 weeks...gained 3 lbs so far

ashcav · August 2015

9w4d and gained 1 lb.

FutureMrsCaesar · August 2015

Almost 9 weeks and I'm up 2 lbs which I'm super happy about. In all my other pregnancies I've gained 7-8+ in the first trimester because all I want to eat is salty carbs to help the nausea. It makes me feel so gross and then I have to really watch what I eat the rest of the pregnancy, I only like to gain ~25lbs total because I'm a pretty small person and I hate diets. I'll probably put on another lb before I'm out of the first tri but still a lot better than my usual!

danielleg1992 · August 2015

9w5d and I am down 2 lbs.

mrsmtothek · August 2015

I'm not weighing myself. Trying not to focus on that so much and just on eating/being healthy. But I know I've gained!

LE95 · August 2015

7 weeks & ive gained 5lbs!

Stormiewinter · August 2015

About 5lbs so far but seems to be mostly boob and bloat. I am eating healthier and exercising so I am happy. Hopefully my nausea gets a little better I can stop shoving food into my mouth constantly.

smushi · August 2015

mrspepper05 · August 2015

Nothing yet, but in my past two pregnancies, I gained 25+ in the 3rd tri. It's coming for me . . . .

theluckiestktrain · August 2015

Ugh 8+5 and I'm up 7 pounds. A little worried, I had lost 15 pounds before getting pregnant. with MS until a few weeks ago keeping my stomach from getting empty helped - but now I'm eating more because I'm relieved that I don't feel awful! Trying to take one day at a time with the eating and exercise more.

2goofykids · August 2015

I'm 7 weeks and I seem to be the same weight, except my work pants already don't fit. How is this possible? Oh well, just hope I have a cute little bump!

Margo97 · August 2015

I had gained 5# or so with IVF meds (bloating and real weight I think) and am hanging out at same weight but the weight seems to have shifted so it's all belly. I have had trouble buttoning my pants since the ivf transfer--difference is now I'm not sucking it in anymore! I basically have three pairs of work pants that fit and I'll wear those until it's time for baby clothes. I'm excited about buying maternity clothes!!

klantzer21 · August 2015

5 because before this I was on meds for weight loss and stopped them all

skruhmin · August 2015

5lbs - and not going to explain it away - it's water weight, increased blood, maybe food related to combat nausea. I gained 26 and 25 pounds with my first two boys so I'm not concerned at all. Seriously don't worry about the weight at this point. Especially those who have never been here before - you are going to gain weight. A lot of women lose weight in the first tri. It's all apart of growing a baby.
