Gaining too much! So I am 16w6days and just went to the doctors yesterday, found out I have gained 20 lbs already! Of…

That's what I'm surprised about though. I have a super high metabolism I was never used to having to "monitor" what I ate lol I know everyone's pregnancy is different I just still can't wrap my head around it! I now weigh 140 ! Will be 20 weeks on Monday ;-) (still all in my belly) thankfully!

I'm tall but petite(5'7"). With my first I gained 30 and with breastfeeding and a fast metabolism I lost 42, putting me under pregnancy weight (only 116lbs). I've gained 5 lbs so far at 16 weeks but I'm hoping to gain at least 40, hopefully more. My metabolism is so fast and I don't want to get as skinny as I did after my first.

If your Dr isn't concerned then you see probably fine. Ppl all gain differently

I'm overweight and have actually lost 8 lbs since getting pregnant. I am 14 weeks on Monday.

The smaller you are before being pregnant the more they expect you to gain. I weighed 118 too. And I've gained 12 lbs so far and I'm only 14 weeks and 6 days .

I gained 12lbs within the first 12 weeks and I went for my ultrasound on this past Tuesday and only gained 1lbs since my last appointment. Most of the time my weight fluctuates. I'm 16w4d now.

#3 here and I haven't bothered to look at the scale. I eat my everyday meals and portions and go my way. I gained 10lbs more with #2 than I did with one even though I eat better. You can never tell. Don't stress too much about it. 1st pregnancy is the easiest to loose. Subsequent ones,metabolism wasn't on my side. Lol but I guess I'm getting older too. Enjoy your pregnancy girl.

I gained 60lbs with my first pregnancy! ? I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and have gained 12lbs so far! I'm so worried about gaining 60lbs again!!! ? But yet, I had 4 slices of pizza tonight! ?

If you have a great metabolism, I wouldn't worry about gaining. With my first two (this is #3), I gained over 60 pounds with each. I lost all and went back to 130lbs with both in 3-4 months with little exercise...just walks and the occasional jog. And breast feeding. Just lotion, lotion, lotion to help prevent stretch-marks. Sometimes they are inevitable though. Lotion everywhere though, breasts, sides up to armpits, mid to lower back, butt, hips, thighs!! Don't stress!

I gained 20 in the first 8 weeks. I've kept it the same since then. It was a huge struggle for me to see the number because I have struggled with eating disorders my whole life. So I get how disappointed you might feel.

I'm 17w and losing weight ;(

You're not alone I am 5"7", and started off at 161 now I am 174. I have gained a whoooollllleeee lot. I am only 15 weeks and 2 days. This is Baby number 5 though.

That's how I was with my first. I gained 50 total. It was hard, but I lost it within a year. The worst was the back and hip problems, but they went away after I had the baby. The later in pregnancy the more you gain faster normally. I remember the last month of my pregnancy I gained 12lbs! Crazy part is I was dieting! Fortunatly only gained the 4 lbs I lost at the beginning of my pregnancy, so hopefully this time its easier for me... I hear you gain less after baby 1.

I started out like that with my 1st 5'4" 123. Gained the most in the 1st and ended up gaining 40lbs total until I stopped wanting to know. You lose most of it fairly quickly so try not to worry. Just try to balance your proteins with your carbs. I was a carb junkie during my 1st and then had to really up my proteins during the 3rd tri because I was close to developing pre e.

Lol I'm Sorry, I Just Thought That Was Really Weird.

I'm not petite and I gained 50 lbs with my first and only lost 42... Now pregnant again. Don't beat yourself up, but try to be conscious this trimester, because when it was "too late" and I wanted to watch my calories in my 3rd trimester, I was STARVING and KEPT packing on the lbs. :)

@a that's what ends up happening anyway I just keep telling myself this is the one time I can eat and enjoy myself and it's okay lol I don't eat terrible but i could eat A Lot better! My doctor said I need to portion better and eat healthier

And @m Thanks for making me feel worse!!!! Haha nah but that's awesome for you! We were around the same..height and weight!! I guess everyone really does gain at different rates!

I'm Also 16 Weeks 6 Days. But z I've Gained Nothing. I'm 5'4" & Prepregnancy Weight Was 116 I'm Now 115 But I Eat 24/7. I Don't Know If That's Good Or Bad.

Don't worry we all gain at different rates when pregnant. I actually gained 50 lbs with my first and lost it all plus another 10 (with hard work, but I did it!). You're also petite and usually such petite girls gain more. I am not petite so I should never have gained that much! In any event, just try to stay away from junk food and don't worry. Just enjoy your pregnancy and worry about the lbs later!
