MS vs. No MS

I'm starting to notice a trend while reading this board. There are probably exceptions to the rule ....

- If you have MS you tend to eat less and not gain as much early on.

- If you don't have MS you tend to behave like you're in starvation mode and gain weight early.

I know I fit in the latter group since I've already gained 8 lbs. at 10.5 weeks!

Anyone else notice this?

Re: MS vs. No MS

I didn't have Morning sickness and I definately didn't gain weight early on. I have only gained about 10-15 and I am 25 weeks.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I had horrible morning sickness and gained most of my weight in the beginning. Total I gained 23 lbs.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I didn't have MS and was in starvation mode. I slowly and steadily gained throughout the PG and now, with a week or two to go, I have gained 25 lbs. Not bad as this is what the doctor expected for me.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I don't fit your theory. I didn't have MS with either of my kids, and I didn't gain more than 2 or 3lbs in my first trimester. Gained a total of 30lbs.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I disagree.

I never mad MS and my appetite throughout this whole pregnancy has been on the small side. I am 34 weeks and i've only gained 21 lbs.

Re: MS vs. No MS

nope, I don't fit that mould.

I had food aversions, yet never experienced nausea... First trimester I lost 5 lbs, and only regained them as of my 19 week appt. I still do not eat constantly or feel more hungry than usual. at best I have one or 2 small snacks (maybe a milk drink box) in addition to my regular diet.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I dont have ms and have only gained about 2 lbs. I am 12 weeks

Re: MS vs. No MS

actually, i dont fit that theory either

i have had a lot of m/s and ive already gained at least 5lbs - i havent weighed myself in at least a week; i'm too afraid

the only things ive been able to eat are carbs which my body does not process very well

Re: MS vs. No MS

I didn't fit your theory

I had no MS and I only gained 13lbs during my pregnancy. I gave birth at 33 weeks, and they say you gain the most in the last tri-mester, but I never got that far

Re: MS vs. No MS

Nope. I didn't fit that theory. I had no morning sickness and gained a total of 16 lbs in the whole pregnancy.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I dont fit this either...no morning sickness at all...I gained very little until the last couple months...i was in threat of being sent to a dietican (sp?)because at around 28wks i had put on about 7lbs...ended up gaining 20 in total.

ETA: i went 5 days past my due date

Re: MS vs. No MS

Don't fit your theory either I never had MS, had a HUGE appetite and at 22 weeks I'm only up about 6-8 pounds!!

Re: MS vs. No MS

nope...no M/S here
DD-gained 22
DS gained 12
so far...at my last appt 6.5 lbs at 21 weeks

Re: MS vs. No MS

ugh, my mom gained 18 with my sister and 12 with me

im worried that i will gain like 50lbs!!

seriously, maybe i'll get on the scale tomorrow but im too scared LOL

Re: MS vs. No MS

I have had no morning sickness & I have lost about 9 lbs......I beleive this is due to the fact that I just don't eat as much as I did before my BFP & my body is work a lot harder & burning more calories. I hope to regain my appetite in the next few weeks as I enter the 2nd trimester.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I didn't have MS and didn't eat more than pre-pregnancy. I didn't gain anything in the first trimester. I popped late but gained about 38 lbs overall.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I had NO morning sickness at all
Not once

I gained very little in the beginning

I am starting my 32nd week today and I am up 18 lbs

Re: MS vs. No MS

I am 13weeks and have no MS at all...never got sick....not crazy hungry, I still eat the same and only gined 2lbs so far....so not true for me...

Re: MS vs. No MS

I did fit that. I gained nothing really for months. And it was because I couldn't keep anything down and after a while didn't want to eat anything because I knew I would just get sick anyway. I gained a total of 17 lbs which I gained manily after 5 months.

Re: MS vs. No MS

Re: MS vs. No MS

I had no morning sickness, had to eat when it was time otherwise I would get nauseaous and I gained a steady 2 pounds per month throughout my pregnancy, one month I think it was more. I am 32 weeks 6 days and up 21 pounds

Re: MS vs. No MS

No morning sickness, no food adversions, felt great so far... 24 weeks today and at my last dr apt I was down one pound from my first visit... (I had a lost a few between my first and second and have yet to gain all of that back)

Re: MS vs. No MS

I had horrible morning sickness and I lost weight my whole 1st trimester.

Re: MS vs. No MS

I did not have MS and I only gained 25 lbs.
