weight gain - 1st trimester
i am almost 11 weeks pregnant & ive only gained maybe a pound. my regular weight was anywhere around 136/137/138 depending on how much i ate, if i was bloated etc. right now im like 138 on most days/ some days 139 i have no m/s i eat normally (but healthier) im just a little concerned that im almost 3 months pregnant and i had no weight gain.
i had my last appt at 8 weeks and everything was great. im going on monday for my 11th week appt and im just a little nervous

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
i'm at 19 weeks and still down a few pounds from pp, with no severe m/s, and regular weight in the 120s. the doctor said not to worry--the baby takes the nutrients he needs, and in the first couple trimesters, the weight gain varies a great deal.

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
Don't worry that is fine - the baby is so small in the beginning. It is better than the alternative i.e. me - I am 13 weeks and already up 6 pounds even though I eat quite healthy. I started at 119 and can't seem to stop packing on the pounds!

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
I did not gain a pound until 16 or 17 weeks...then only gained 18 pounds the entire pregnancy...I gave birth to an 8 lb 9 oz DS...I was worried too, but the doctors were not...just continue to eat healthy and everything will be fine!!

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
I am almost 15 weeks and I have lost 2 lbs, haven't gained anything. I think it's because I got three sinus infections , and because of the morning sickness. But the doctor hasn't said anything to me about it. I was actually about 20 lbs overweight before I got preggo too...don't know if that has anything to do with it....

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
I was going to say what stickydust said, it's definitely better than the alternative! I"m only 15 weeks and have gained about 15 pounds! Not good at all!

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
not to worry at all, everyone gains weight differently, morning sickness or not.
last pregnancy i lost 10 pounds first tri from morning sickness, but ended up gaining about 22-23 pounds total by the end. gave birth to a perfect baby boy!
this time, at 14 weeks i am down about 1-2 pounds from morning sickness (which is not as severe as it was first time around).
i wouldn't be nervous at all

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
no need to worry... i started pp at about 125ish (i had gained quite a bit of weight before my wedding and after) but had just lost 5lbs so when i found out i was pregnant i was about 120
the first 8 weeks of pregnancy i lost 10lbs then from week 8-12 i lost another 6 brought me down to 104. now at 14 weeks i havent lost or gained (but techinically im back to my normal weight) now to know me i dont easily lose weight so i was EXTREmELY concerned as well as i had no severe m/s so i went to my primaray care dr. who was very concerened checked my thyroid everything cameback normal. i went to the OB and was like WHATS WRONG WITH ME???
he said.. your pregnant!! if you dont gain anything by 16-17 weeks we'll be slightly concerened but the baby is developing well and the size is right on track actually a week a head!
So try not to worry! as long as your eating and keeping food and liquids down i wouldnt worry yet! i hope this helps!

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
Don't worry! Remember, the baby is still super tiny, like the size of a string bean or something so as long as the doc says the baby is developing on track, just be thankful that you'll have that much less to lose after he/she is here. Every pregnancy is different, remember that!

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
that is normal!!! you're really not supposed to gain much weight the first trimester. i didn't gain any...although i am heavy to being with and definitely don't need to gain a thing! the second and third trimester is when you should be gaining.

Re: weight gain - 1st trimester
I am 5'6" and weighed 125 before getting pregnant. I gained absolutely no weight my first trimester.
It's actually quite common and no reason to worry.
