Ok I'm going to make the moms who are gaining feel better as everyone seems to be claiming none or lost weight! This is my second pregnancy- with the first pregnancy I gained 10lbs in 1st trimester and only 26 by end of pregnancy and this pregnancy I'm 10 weeks along and up 8lbs so far. I am not eating more than I used to and still working out. I was 110 before pregnancy if that helps. Everybody gains differently but no need to worry no matter how or when you are gaining.
Up 2lbs so far at 9w5d. Eating like a rabid wildebeest. Apparently my sister put on 10lbs during her first tri because she was very thin. I'm about average weight for my height so maybe that explains it. I'm actually looking forward to gaining weight since that means there's a BABY coming!
I'm considered overweight and have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and have lost around 14lbs so far. I am 11w5d. I don't even feel like I'm losing weight but people keep telling me I look thinner. I'm a FTM and don't know what to expect! They only want me to gain 10-15lbs for the entire pregnancy
13 weeks and lost 6 pounds since conception! I had pretty strong food aversions against, well basically all food. I was a little worried, but since a week and a half my apatite is back and I am literally eating twice as much! But still no weight gain. I am quite active so that might be it, or maybe I will start gaining once my body is used to more food. I am not worried anymore because I've stopt losing weight. And I have quite healthy diet, so lots of fruit and veg. It's still quite new to me to eat a small treat every day, but hey! That's OK!
Don't worry! Everyone gaines in a different way. Don't let al of these rules and guidelines of how much you should gain by when or how much you should exercise, make you feel bad. Try to incorporate more fruit and veg in your diet and drink plenty of water and you'll be fine! Stressing about it is not worth it, nor does it help!
I am a ftm and 12w4d And have lost close to 13lbs so far. My dietician doesn't want me to lose anymore weight but with the GD diet I'm on I'm eating foods because I have to eat them not because I want to! I am so sick of whole grain this and whole grain that! It tastes like cardboard to me! I've tried all kinds of brands too. Hoping to gain some weight in the 2nd trimester
I wish I was cool and could say 0 or lost weight. Oh wait...no I dont. Up 10 pounds at 13.5 weeks. Started at a BMI of 18 so I know I'm fine.
I started at a BMI of 19 so I don't feel so bad about my weight gain either. My baby needs it and I want to give my baby everything it needs. I don't know my current gain at 13w 4d but I know at 11w 5d I had gained 5 lbs.
I'm up 2 lbs at 14 weeks. Thats a little better than my first, where I had probably gained 5-7 lbs by this time. Total with my first I gained 40 lbs, and was able to easily lose all but 5 of it. I'm hoping to do just as well, if not better this time. I'm starting with a BMI of 23 so I'd like to gain closer to 25-30 lbs total, but whateves. I'm growing a human, and that BLT with fries tasted damned good for lunch today.
0 lbs and I am so proud... I have been watching what I eat and I was over to begin with. With my first two pregnancies I gained 10 lbs in the first tri, so this is a good start!
I had lost three by week 11. I haven't weighed myself in almost 2 weeks but I know I've gained. I feel fat AF right now (as I order pizza) and I'm scared to find out what damage I've done!
Hey guys.. First pregnancy was originally 135 b4 pregnancy and now im 145 and im only 11 weeks and 4 days.. Pretty sure all this water intake plays a part in this..smh. It wudnt be so bad if i wasnt short im only 4 11 and i walk on the treadmill for 20 mins every other day.. But the weight keeps adding on..lol
Finally stopped loosing weight! Maybe this is the wrong place to post this, but I am relieved that I have finally stopped loosing weight. Ready to start feeling better and eat real food and gain some weight. Come on healthy babies!
Some of us would gladly gain some weight. Some of us would love to not feel like they can't provide their child with basic nutrients because they cannot keep from getting sick. Put yourself in someone else's shoes before judging. Congrats on your weight gain, I'm jealous.
FTM started overweight already (was about to tackle a weight loss regime then found out I was preggo). According to my scale I've gained like 9lbs, but I've only gained 2lbs at the doctors. I'm more apt to believe his scale as mine has been known to flat out lie.

This exactly! Most of us who have lost weight are not happy about it. I am pregnant with #5 and started this pregnancy @ 142lbs and I am 5'5". I am now 15+ weeks pregnant and am down to 128. The ms was terrible but has slowed down the past two weeks but I still haven't gained any of the weight back. It is stressful. It is nice to see everyone's journey and know that whether you are gaining, losing or maintaining weight that we are not alone. As much as someone who is gaining weight is fearful of gaining too fast there is someone who is fearful of losing too much weight. I have been obsessively been weighing myself daily hoping for any gain even if it is a teeny amount.

Let us try not to be totally ignorant to cultural norms while we post on the Internet. I don't see many models getting weight sympathy looks from you or anyone because they are so skinny and it's so hard on them.
You guys are all acting like your underweight and stressed out when in reality your BMI is still in the totally normal range which is what your Dr is going to use to determine the safety of your baby and your expected weight gain.
I'm all out of sympathy dust on this topic. I let the first comment go but now I can't. Hormones.

Well that's being a bit precious... pregnant women are given an ideal range and are chastised by doctors for going both ways. I have a higher but still normal BMI so I am not some sympathy seeking skinny bitch. However being 16 weeks and down 5lbs I do find worrisome somewhat and do monitor it. My doctor asked for a good diary and did a blood panel as some my ibs symptoms could be being masked but that also means me and the baby aren't getting enough nutrients.
Yes society has norms for what we deem as acceptable but if you are deviating from the doctors chart you can have your own little sense or worry about it.
Honestly you could flip the argument and say that women who are gaining too much are bring vain as their main task now is to grow and nourish the baby not care how long they still fit into their skinny jeans.... but that's something only an pretentious ass would say

Am I the only one who doesn't trust a number until I see it at least half a dozen times on the scale? I weight myself at different times of the day and in different states of dress or undress, so my scale reading varies by a couple pounds up or down. I take the lowest number I've seen, until that one completely stops popping up.
Also, someone changed the reading to show in kg instead of lbs and I'm keeping it there. For some reason, I'm less emotionally attached to the number if it's in kg.

Speaking of being totally ignorant, assuming a BMI within normal range especially while pregnant means you are healthy is ignorant. Women who do not gain enough or lose weight in pregnancy are at higher risk of premature birth, underweight babies and the infant mortality rate is much higher than those who have gained the recommended amount or more. The reason some of us are losing weight is because the baby is not getting sufficient vitamins and nourishment to grow so our bodies are using our stored fat. Which is unhealthy. I can assure you that I feel like utter crap because I am depleting my body of essential vitamins and healthy fat. Being super skinny, model skinny as you put it isn't as glamorous as it looks on a magazine. I have struggled with anemia most of my life and it sucks. It sounds like you are taking your insecurities about your weight gain on those who are struggling to gain weight. There will always be someone heavier than you and someone thinner than you. That's the reality of life. Btw, my last baby was born full term weighing barely 5lbs because of the inability to gain a good amount of weight. So yes it is concerning this go around since my weight loss has been even more than the last pregnancy. But I guess that's just me being a "skinny" person bragging. Smh.
I have gained 2-3 pounds at 11w+6. Maybe it's because I'm not thin outside of pregnancy, but I haven't taken any of the "I lost weight" replies as humble brags nor has it made me feel insecure about my gains.
We're all growing babies, all at different weeks in our pregnancy and will all eventually gain weight. If I gain 5 pounds while you lose 5, that literally means nothing to me. I understand some people get really insecure about their weight, but don't take your insecurities out on other people that are just sharing their experience.

I have gained 8 lbs @15wks. I have never been anything but a size 2 and my boobs are now double d's instead of just regular d's. I'm 5'10 and have legs for days. In fact, I rarely ever see a woman who I believe has a better looking body than me. I'm 32 and have been the same size since high school. I have never been on a diet and I eat whatever I want. I don't have a stretch mark anywhere and have never had a speck of cellulite. One of my best girlfriends that I have known since I was 4 recently asked me if I was pregnant because she has never seen my stomach be anything but FLAT in the past 28 years.
Oh am I bragging? No I'm not bragging I'm just saying bye bye to my perfect body and hello to pregnancy and post pregnancy body. Were you guys bragging? I didn't notice I was too busy being pregnant with my first child and being wildly insecure about how skinny you are.
You know what they say about skinny bitches? We are always hungry that's why we are so ANGRY.
