1st Trimester Weight Gain
Who else gained more than the "average" 4 lbs during the first trimester?? Just found out I gained 10 lbs!!!! Ughhh!! Super upset about that!!!
I gained 10kg.... I'm 24 weeks now and upto 15kg heavier. However I way 65kg and was 50kg.. With my son I had gained 26kg (total 76kg) .But don't stress by age 6 months I had to quite breastfeeding as I'd reached 42kg.. so it can go really quickly and I wasn't exercising I was just eating and breastfeeding
When I went in for my 17 week appt my doc said I gained less than a pound. Super surprising. Now I've gone a little over board on the sweets and I'm afraid to see what she's going to tell me the next time I go in (24 week appt). I am trying to be better about the sweets and watch what I eat.
With my last pregnancy I gained 53lbs ? so I am really trying to keep it under the 30 mark
I was so hungry up to about week 9, constantly grazing. I gained 6lbs in that time, so I was nearly afraid to look at the scales today. I didn't gain anything since, thankfully 12+4 now.
I need to up my activity, SPD has already reared its head and I'm terrified of becoming immobile again :(
I gained most my first month then it evened out and now I'm gaining a little more - I think I'm averaging a gain of 15 pounds at 22 weeks. I've started exercising more and hoping that I can break my sweets addiction in the next few weeks to keep the weight at bay among other reasons. I had a hard time adjusting to how my metabolism just stopped once I got pregnant!
Thanks y'all. I think with this being my first, I'm just still in shock about the weight gain. BUT. It's normal. So I shouldn't freak out about it ??
I gained 10 my first trimester. I was freaking out too. I'm a few weeks into my second now and it seems to be evening out. Before I gained about 1 pound a week. Haven't even gained 1/2 pound these past two weeks. Don't worry about it too much. My strategy is try to control it and worry about it when my doctor tells me too.
I gained almost 10 pounds in first trimester. Honestly I don't look much bigger or heavier now at 20 weeks (about 12-13 pounds total) I think the bloating in first trimester caused the increase in the scale and now it's baby. If you're anything like me you'll plateau and slow down. I'm sure the weight will pick up again. Just remember why the weight is being gained and not worry too much about the numbers at this point.
@alexis it's just so frustrating. Before I got pregnant, I went from a size 6 to a size 14 in a year. Biggest I've ever been. VERY hard pill to swallow. Then I got pregnant. So I'm just not used to it. Thanks for the kind words! I'm sure I'll get over it soon.
Well I'm the same way, I lost in my first trimester because I was so unbelievably sick. :( So don't feel bad because it was miserable however, my friend gained a LOT of weight in the 1st and 2nd trimesters and then stayed about the same in the 3rd. I think she only gained like 5 pounds in the 3rd trimester but she gained like 75lbs in the 1st and 2nd. It's absolutely not a bad thing that you gained weight in the first trimester. :) Do not feel bad girl. (: It happens to other moms too. You're not alone!! If you need someone to talk to though you can message me!!(:
@babynov the nurse said that some women gain a lot at first and then kinda steadies throughout the rest of it. But she saw how upset I was. So maybe just said that to make me feel better lol but I hope that's the case! Thanks!!
I'm really upset about gaining so much...hearing you LOST weight doesn't really help ? thanks for the input though!
I gain most my weight in the first and second trimester and very little in the third. I gained at least 20 lbs in the first trimester. I have every time and this is my third pregnancy. I have never had any issues with my babies or health issues with me like gestational diabetes. Some people just gain more than others. Absolutely nothing wrong with gaining more.
How much has everyone gained by the time they hit the 3rd trimester? Next week I'll be in my 3rd trimester and I've only gained 14 lbs.. Don't know if that's bad or good lol
How much have you ladies gained during your pregnancy? I'm 34 weeks and have gained 50 lbs :( but was also 10 - 15 lbs underweight when I got pregnant

Gained 42 lbs so far...

I am only on my 2nd trimester and I gained so much weight! 😭 Can you mommas tell me what’s like a normal weight gain to be expected, please.
