How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

Just curious - I think I gained more than usual. I am 13 weeks & think I have a small preggo belly already

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I'm not going to step on the scale

I feel huge though. Most of the "weight" gained in the first tri is just water weight and bloating, though

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I'm down 5 pounds from prepregnancy at almost 12 weeks, but I do have a tiny little baby belly. Still wearing my regular clothes with no problem. I wasn't big to begin with (not tiny, but a size 6). My doctor said the average gain in 1st tri is 2-5 lbs, but wasn't concerned that I lost a bit.

I think the preggo belly comes whether or not you gain weight.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

Been wondering the same thing...I'm gaining at a feverish pace and I DO NOT have a preggo belly! I'm not comfortable in my clothes at all...and I wear things pretty fitted so nothing can be hidden. Thank God for sweaters! But pants are tight.

I'm gonna guess that I've gained 6-7 lbs. Maybe more. This is pigging out/not going to the gym weight, not baby weight.

I gained 3 pounds my first trimester. They say the average is 3-5. But some people lose from getting sick. And don't stress about it too much, just try your best to eat healthy.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

i don't know how much i gained at the moment (we own one of those fancy scales that send an electric impulse through your body and dh won't even let me near it). at my appointment at 10 weeks i had gained 1 lb. no idea how much i've gained now (at 13 weeks) but i definitely have a bit of a bump.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

last pregnancy i lost 10 pounds from morning sickness in the first tri.

this time around i'm probably up a couple already from bloating, but also because eating actually helps the nausea - so i'm doing quite a bit of it

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

OMG Kell, where have I been?!?! Congrats!!! That is such wonderful news! You're due a few weeks after me. YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Not sure how much I gained 1st trimester (I'm 17 wks now), more than I should have (I think 10).

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I feel like I am eating poorly and too much because 1) it helps with the nauseau and 2) most healthy foods make me nauseous to even think about. When I think of eating meat, veggies, or anything one would find on a healthy food list, I get so nauseous and my stomach starts to turn. It's really been the most awful feeling, especially since I have been a huge watcher of what I eat and my weight prior to PG.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I didnt know you were pregnant!!!! I must have missed your announcement!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!

Anyway to answer your question I didnt gain any weight until about 18 or 20 weeks but I am NOT the norm. Im 34 weeks today and have only gained 9lbs.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I will be 13 weeks thursday and I have lost about 4-5 lbs.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

HOW DID I MISS YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT??!?!!

CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME TO THE PREGNANCY BOARDS, MAMA!!!!

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I started showing at 10 weeks, but I didn't gain any weight until this week (week 14/15). I gained about 5 pounds. Its weird that you can show and clothes don't fit you, but you may not gain any weight.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I lost about 5 pounds in my first trimester.

Now at 24 weeks, I am the same weight as my pre-pregnancy weight.

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

I didnt know the good news either! CONGRATS!!! I'm super happy for you!!

I gained most of my weight in the second trimester... but everyone is different!

YES exactly!! While I was TTC and even after my BFP, all I ate was veggie burgers, veggie soup, healthy this, healthy that. Now the idea of it makes me ill. I don't have nausea, or get sick at all- but I have these extreme aversions to things I used to LOVE! All I want is carbs, carbs, carbs and CHEESE! Oh and cookies cookies cookies....bad bad bad!

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?

THANKS EVERYBODY! I really didn't make a big announcement...I just kinda started posting. I"ve been posting very minimal while I was TTC and the first 13 weeks of my pregnancy. I have been so nervous & cautious. I feel more comfortable now & just have so many questions. Thanks for all of your input and help!

Re: How much weight did you gain during the first trimester?
