Anyone else gaining weight? (Clicky Poll)

aquasocks · April 2016

I've already put on a few pounds, but I'm in my 10th week and I'm not a FTM. Just out of curiosity where is everyone with weight gain? I mean with all these food posts I can't be the only one!

DunkinDecaf · April 2016

I've lost about 5lbs because for the last week and a half I've barely been able to eat anything. For the past couple days I've been able to munch on popcorn throughout the day though which is keeping the nausea pretty well suppressed and allowing me to eat more, so I'm sure I'll start gaining weight soon.

lilwonder · April 2016

I'm down 4 lbs. The same thing happened in my last first trimester though, and I'm actually going to check in with my OB about it at today's appt. I mean I'm eating until I'm full, so it's not like I can eat more w/out making myself super sick. And I'm also eating things that have PLENTY (read: too many for my normal pre-pregnancy standards) of calories.

shamrocandroll · April 2016

I'm also losing weight (which is NOT something that normally happens to me without significant effort). I was super nauseous in weeks 5-7, but weeks 8 & 9 have been largely nausea-free, so not sure why I'm still dropping weight! I'm told it's nothing to be concerned about and I'll have plenty of time to make up for it in the 2nd tri.

TwandaFTG · April 2016

Currently no but I won't be 6 weeks until tomorrow. I am trying hard not to get carried away bc last time I gained 16lbs in the first 4 months.

ShallowSeas · April 2016

I've gained almost 5 pounds but i'm pretty sure its all water. I retain water and usually take water pills when my joints start hurting because of it. I haven't taken any since being pregnant because I have no idea if I should or not. I'll ask my doctor at my appt on Wednesday but I hope I can.

aquasocks · April 2016

I'm also officially showing. In the shower I looked down and could see my uterus bump (slightly lopsided). I could push it to the middle but then it went back to the side! I also got my first unsolicited "congratulations!"

rspalding001 · April 2016

Im not weighing myself

earichar23 · April 2016

I'm up about 3 lbs but at this point with my 1st I was up 8 lbs so I'd like to think in actually down 5lb?!

rooftop · April 2016

I got food poisoning around 4 weeks and lost about 5 pounds I have since gained it back plus a pound or two

Solid logic.

comealongponds · April 2016

I'm up 6-7ish...pretty sure it's 50% boobs and 50% bloat!

lajoliedreamer · April 2016

I'm 6w5d and have already gone up a few lbs. I'm petite so the gain is significant for me. I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon since I'm a FTM and everything I've seen/heard says you shouldn't gain much, if any, during the first trimester. The gain and my near-constant hunger makes me wonder if I'm having twins!!

grannysmith912 · April 2016

I haven't weighed myself in six or seven years, so I can't judge my weight with certainty, but judging how my clothes fit I haven't changed much, and perhaps have even lost a tiny bit. I've been eating like crap though, so it wouldn't surprise me if I'm just dehydrated and once I start drinking lots of water again I balloon way up!

HMLanders · April 2016

I've gained. It's hard not to gain weight when you're constantly starving and have zero motivation to get to the gym. Yikes! I gained 40lbs with my DS and lost it all within 3 months, so there's hope with this one

(although, to be honest, I did workout 3-4x a week while preggo with my DS)

g8rmama_16 · April 2016

I gained about 4 pounds right away and I was afraid it was the beginning of an out of control climb, but it has stopped and I have maintained the same weight for the last two weeks.

Elev429 · April 2016

With DS I only gained 20# the whole pregnancy. I'm already up 4 this one and having an insane sweet tooth!

ficbot · April 2016

I've lost weight because I have no appetite, but my shape has changed. My wedding ring is loose, but none of my bras fit :-)

whaat · April 2016

I feel different but I'm not sure I weigh more. Poop doesn't count, right?

shamrocandroll · April 2016

@whaat

Oh man. Now that I think about it, I've probably lost way more than just 3 lbs if we're not counting poop reserves.

ETA: I feel like I haven't pooped in weeks.

kns1988 · April 2016

My pants are definitely getting snug. I lost 15 pounds 2 years ago, and a few months ago, I went on a pretty big shopping spree to replace my too-big clothes with the correct size (new job/business clothes environment = motivation). I hope I didn't spend all that money for nothing - I better fit back into them after baby comes.

atcwag · April 2016

I honestly don't know exact numbers, but there's no way I haven't lost weight. I can't say I was a poor eater before, but I definitely had a portion control problem and excess fat/carbs in my diet. Over the past 2 weeks or so, I've had no appetite and a complete aversion to foods. I've had to force myself to eat because I have to, not because I want to. Today, thus far, I've had a medium bowl of Cheerios, 1/4 of a cantaloupe & about a cup of homemade mac n cheese. I'm going to force myself to eat some mixed nuts as I'm typing this.
With DS, I didn't have major food aversions, just deeply craved "clean" eating. I had a homemade smoothie everyday for breakfast and could have lived on sautéed veggies & rice my whole pregnancy. I'm overweight to begin with, so I had a healthy pregnancy gaining and losing the same 7 lbs. I was about 30 lbs. down 2-3 weeks after delivery. That stayed off until about 6 months, then slowly crept back on. I'm starting this pregnancy 5-10 lbs. higher. If pregnancy weight is similar to last time, I'm hoping to use that as motivation to keep it off.

Insert FTM 'WTF face' here... You can you push baby/uterus from side to side?

Ash9614 · April 2016

I've gained 3-4 lbs so far. Hoping to keep it under 5 lbs in first trimester so I can save some room for later in the pregnancy. The last two weeks have been hard since I've had to modify physical activity due to an ovarian cyst and I've been eating more junk than usual. Trying to go for a 45 minute walk 4-5 times a week to keep things in check.

mamabear0813 · April 2016

I haven't been keeping very accurate track of my weight. If anything it's stayed the same. But i'm already classified as obese

so if I gain no weight the whole pregnancy I'll be fine. With my last I was about 10 pounds lighter when I got pregnant and only gained 3 pounds from my starting weight. I didn't do anything special to not gain or anything.

Well I can't push it all the way from one side to the other, but it's pretty common to have an off center, or tilted, uterus. My daughter she was in the middle most of the time, but towards the end my belly would definitely be lopsided sometimes.

This is time I am starting to see a little tiny round bump and its protruding a little more on the right side of my belly button. I pushed on it to see if it was bloat, then it rolled right back over. It's a little freaky, but strange things happen during pregnancy!

It's still very very small so I don't know why I got a random congratulations. Maybe I'm glowing. Or I just looked super nauseous.

AlexLindzz · April 2016

I've lost 4lbs. Pregnancy is the only time when I see the numbers drop on the scale and feel discouraged.

Knottie1458416769 · April 2016

I gained 10lbs by week 5 and needed new clothes, but I'm less bloated now in week 6 and net net prob a 5lb gain.

rencontrezmoi · April 2016

I've lost a few pounds, but then again, I'm so nauseous that I'm barely eating. I'm sure I'll gain it all later.

kendramari · April 2016

This will be my third child, I havent weighed my self since being pregnant but I can't button up my pants. I know I have gained quite a bit of weight.

beforeyou · April 2016

I don't understand whats going on with my weight. I have gained and lost the same 1 pound these past 9 weeks, but I'm so bloated that nothing fits. I feel like I should have gained 10 lbs! Its so weird.

srcr2011 · April 2016

I remembered in the old bump, OP would have been flamed. As long as your doctor is fine with your weight gain, that's all that should matter. It's not a good idea to compare weight gain /loss. Each woman and pregnancy is different.

How many weeks are you, and how many babies are in there?

I'm 9 1/2 weeks and one baby. Second child, 4th pregnancy.

You can flame me. Like I said, I was just curious. I know that everyone is different. And there is a big difference right now between those due at the beginning and the end of the month. Obviously nobody should use this board for actual medical advice. But if we are comparing all of our other symptoms, I don't see anything wrong with my asking if others want to share where they stand with weight gain/loss.

I'm 9 1/2 weeks and one baby. Second child, 4th pregnancy.

How is your uterus already popping out, and by your bellybutton? At 12 weeks it's about the size of a grapefruit and still somewhat tucked away behind your pelvic bone. It's smaller since you are 9 weeks. The baby now is about an inch big. Unless of course, you're having Edward Cullen's baby. I'm also 9+ weeks, but 3rd baby, 6th pregnancy. I'm kinda freaked out by your super big, movable uterus. If anything, my guess would be it's your intestines moving around.

Lol keep us updated, I'm very curious of your Dr's reaction when you tell them you're showing and can feel your ute by your bellybutton.

Alright, so I said that my pants were getting snug, but I weighed myself today and nothing has changed. BUT I have stretch marks on my pelvic/UTE area! I'm 9w1d.

Has anyone else gotten stretch marks this early? I'll probably eat my words, but it's actually making me kind of excited because it feels like a concrete sign that baby's growing. (Also posted on symptom thread, and I promise I'm not a special snowflake).

I didn't get them until much later, but my existing ones are getting darker now that I have a tiny bump poking out. And the ones I had on my boobs are getting darker too.

srcr2011 · April 2016

Let me guess, you're feeling the baby move , right? I attached pictures of what the uterus looks like in normal pregnancy, obviously not super bionic like yours...
