Figured we needed a fresh discussion thread, we were falling a few weeks behind:
Anyone else packing on the lbs already? Got weighed today at the Dr. and I gain like 4lbs between each monthly appointment (20lbs so far). This is really freaking me out. Once I got out of the 1st trimester my eating went back to my normal pre-pregnancy intake (instead of the linebacker amounts I was eating to not puke), but the lbs still keep packing on even though I am not overeating. Help!
Re: Symptoms of the Week 1/28
I gained almost 50lbs with my first and 40lbs with my second. I’m expecting to gain around the same this time around too.
Other than being ravenous I’ve noticed my sciatica has started up again, earlier than my first pregnancy which has been a bummer. It’s also been super cold here and every time I leave my house within a few seconds my nipples feel like they’re on fire no matter how many layers I wear. Second trimester so far has definitely been better than the first though!
That plus daily headaches and the s*** taste in my mouth and, of course the hormones triggering all of it has led to a lot of bedtime breakdowns/sob sessions this week.
Still not packing on that much weight, I weighed myself at the END of the day the other day and was within 2 lbs of where I started, and I usually weigh myself in the morning...

Im only supposed to gain 11-20 lbs. But, I want to ask if that is from this 213 or from my original 225.
@quinniebear I’m still getting nausea. Today is panning out to be a rough day. I’m usually okay in the afternoon and evening now, but still have a bad day every 3-4 days.
@nolemomma14 I’m a FTM, but I’ve been feeling like that almost the whole time. I don’t know what I’ll do when I get “fuller”.
ETA: I can't believe you lost so much from morning sickness! I feel so bad for you and I hope you can get back to normal soon!

As much as I like these calculators, everyone is different. I tend to gain more in the beginning and level off after ~30wks. So it says I've gained too much so far but I know it'll even out by the end.
My doc says I’m gaining where it counts. Haha.
i haven’t been eating a ton, but not throwing up anything of substance. I’m not like going around hungry. I really think the loss was from HCG burn. I’m skinnier on the sides than I was before, now I’m all tummy and boobs. Hahaha.
