13w and no weight gain
Hello mommies, I started out overweight, nearly obese. My start weight was 166 and I am 5'3". I have not gained any weight so far, at 13w4d. Does that mean that I actually lost some weight and baby gained all that weight? Well, I know that the baby is too tiny for weight gain but then the blood,placenta,uterus etc have gained weight but I have lost some?
I'm 13w2d. Overweight/borderline obese pre preg. I've lost about a kg in the last 3mths. Perfectly normal. For me.
This is my 3rd boy. My hubby & my brother are both well over 6ft & both have crazy fast metabolisms. When I'm preg, i seem to 'inherit' that metabolism. I can't eat enough - esp carbs - I gain v.little weight, & my babies are born looonnng and slim.
I lose weight steadily after birth, despite still carb loading. The fast metabolism lasts until i stop breastfeeding... then i need to remember to massively dial back the food intake, otherwise I pork up again ?
I am not concerned about not gaining weight either, I am also trying to reduce snacking. Looks like baby is fine at ultrasounds I have had so far. So I will be happy to gain lesser weight since I should only gain under 15lbs.
I started at 180. And had my 16 week appointment this morning. I am 173.8. I have been making more cautious decisions on my food choices and stopped snacking out of boredom. It think this helped. My OB is happy where I am at so I am not concerned. Baby measures perfect and right on track.
Savannah, did you have lesser weight to lose after the baby? Since you only gained 14lbs and half of that was baby+placenta.
