How much weight...
Did everyone gain in their first trimester. I'm almost 12 weeks, and already up about 7 pounds. It's really hard 'cause my clothes arent' fitting anymore.

Re: How much weight...
At 11 1/2 weeks, I was up 1 pound.
But I moved into maternity jeans at 9 weeks, because I was uncomfortable!

Re: How much weight...
Oh jeeze, I'm way ahead of the game. I have to slow down. I'm just hungry ALL the time, and truth be told, I'm not really limiting myself. "Sure I'll have the fries!"

Re: How much weight...
I sorta got lucky - junk food makes me sooo sick, I stay away from it! Other than a glass of Ovaltine every morning, I can't tell you the last time I had chocolate. I crave fruit for some reason.

Re: How much weight...
wow, that's great. I haven't been sick at all. Actually so far, it's been pretty uneventful. I threw up once. I get nausaus sometimes but I feel better once I eat.

Re: How much weight...
By 12 weeks with both pg's I gained about 11-12 lbs. No clue why, I hardly eat anything bad, I blame genetics and water weight

Awesome!!! That's what I'm thinking. My mom said she always started showing very early (she had 4). So my belly is definitely rounding out.

With my 1st pg, I was def showing by 9-10 weeks, i was in maternity pants by then out of sheer comfort.
I was showing about the same with #2.
Def could be
I try not to focus on the numbers. I gained 50+ lbs with DD and lost all but 9lbs by the time dd was about to turn 5 months old, then i got pg again!
It just slipped off with me eating the way i always do and taking walks
ETA: I eat even better with this pg, exercise more, i was on bedrest with DD, and i still are up 30lbs at 29 weeks pg. I dont' even eat JUNK!

Re: How much weight...
I'm heading into week 12 and I've gained nothing. Maybe 1 or 2 lbs., but nothing noticeable.

Re: How much weight...
I know this is a popular question and I'll admit I'm curious about how much other people gain too, but I get nervous when I hear moms-to-be say that they better slow down, when they are perfectly normal range. You are doing fine and unless your doc tells you differently, you shouldn't worry about your weight.
Recommended weight gain for women who start out at a "normal" weight is between 25 and 35 lbs total. Everyone gains a bit differently but according to "What to Expect" it can basically be broken down to 5lbs in the first tri, a lb per week in the second tri (14 total), and another 5 in the last tri.
Read more about healthy weight gain and the pregnancy "diet" (meaning what to put in, not how to stay slim) at What to Expect.com
I'm 20 weeks and up 16.5 lbs. In our weight-obsessed culture I'll admit that it does feel like I'm getting fat and I do thinking about losing it later, but I keep reminding myself that every lb is for the baby!
JMO!

Re: How much weight...
I agree - don't worry about the numbers so much. If you are hungry - eat. That's all there is to eat. The weight will all come off once the baby is born.
At about 33 weeks now, I think I have gained a total of 40lbs - and it is ALL in my belly. I have asked the doctor numerous times if it's ok and she is very happy with the way I am growing. If your doctor doesn't have a problem with it - then you shouldn't.
This is prob. the only time in your life you can eat whatever/whenever you want --- ENJOY IT!

Re: How much weight...
I gained 4lbs by 13 weeks. Now I haven't gotten on the scale in over a week (I was away on vacation) and I'm sooo scared to get on!! Last I checked I was up 7lbs at 17 weeks.

Re: How much weight...
I didn't have bad m/s for my first - so I gained about 6 pounds - but could still fit in regular clothes - I was exercising/jogging and ate super healthy
I had bad m/s the second time and lost some weight - no exercise and ate anything that I could keep down - which wasn't always healthy
try not to judge yourself on other pregnancies - even your own! If you feel like you have been eating healthy and not overdoing sweets too much - I wouldn't worry. plus salt can retain water - so if you have been eating salty foods, tht could be the reason.

Re: How much weight...
this is depressing. I am 16 weeks (yay) but at my last appt. at 14 weeks i was up 10lbs total. I'm 5'3 and this feels like alot to me - my doc wasn't worried but when i asked her if this was too much she said 'no - its kind of the on the high side" she said to just watch my desserts and bad carbs... Now i'm terrified because i need to go for my bloodscreen on Thursday which is only 2 weeks later and they weight me EVERY single time is step foot in their office. I don't want to go!

That's funny because I drink Nestle Quick (put the powder in my milk) throughout the day and I crave fruit too, especially oranges. I'm a little over 16 weeks and have gained 6 lb.

Re: How much weight...
I've gained 4 lbs. so far. I haven't been eating as much, so I think most of it's water weight and lack of exercise (too tired)!
I think it's interesting, but I agree we shouldn't compare ourselves too much. Everyone is different. I'm reading "The Girlfriends Guide," and the author mentions gaining 10 lbs. right away, then slowing down in the next two trimesters. As long as you're in a healthy range, you're fine.
