how much weight?

did you gain in the first trimester? if you don't mind answering...

I feel sick all day and the only thing that make me feel better is eating! I am trying to eat healthy but not always! I just want to make sure I stay on track. Did you drs give you a ball park number?

I think I gained about 10 lbs. I gained a total of 53 but lost about 40 before I left the hospital

Re: how much weight?

I dont remember how much I gained in the beginning but I know my toatal weight gain was 45 lbs but lost it all with in 6 weeks

Re: how much weight?

I can't remember exact number, I think 12-17 lbs, I gained a total of 41 lbs - made it to 37w1d, lost 18lbs the day after giving birth, and 2 weeks laters lost a total of 28 lbs.

Don't concentrate on the amount of pounds, seriously, just focus on the fact you are carrying twins and enjoy the journey!!!! Its amazing!!

Its the summer, eat plenty of ice cream! My DH and I ate soft serve Carvel ice cream all the time!

Eat Up!!!!!!!!

My doctor never mentioned weight gain with me. In one month, I remember gaining 11 lbs.

Re: how much weight?

I don't remember how much I gained my first trimester. At 35weeks I have gained about 35lbs.
As the pp said, don't worry about the scale. Just try and eat healthy and you'll do great!
It is hard in the beginning when you can't eat a bunch. Just concentrate on getting some nutrition with everything you eat. For me, fruit, juice, smoothies and anything kind of refreshing like that, were all I could eat.

Re: how much weight?

5 lbs in the first trimester. 34 total, but I delivered at 36 weeks. Don't stress about weight gain

Re: how much weight?

Thanks girls! I should stop stepping on the scale. I have been pretty healthy...but I do love my ice cream or dessert thanks again!!!

Re: how much weight?

I lost weight the 1st trimester. I had no appetite and a lot of food aversions. My dr. was never concerned. I gained about 35 lbs total.

Re: how much weight?

I also feel sick all day. Have food aversions and nausea which makes eating sooo hard. At my 12 week appointment I had lost 2 lbs so I dont think I've gained anything. Just finished my first trimester. The doctor only asked me if I was eating enough but didnt seem concerned.

Re: how much weight?

I lost weight but I was sick.

Don't stress the number!!

Re: how much weight?

According to the Drs. scale I only gained like 4 or 5 lbs so far as of last Monday. I will be 13 weeks tomorrow. But i am definitely starting to show. by the size of my belly i would have thought that i gained much more than that.

Re: how much weight?

i think 1-2 lbs. not much.


I gained 36lbs all together n my doc wasnt concerned.

Re: how much weight?

I don't even remember. I think about 10 lbs.

At 35 weeks I gained 56 lbs.

Re: how much weight?

I was terribly sick the entire pregnancy. Was on zofran. I gained a total of 18 lbs. My girls were delivered at 35 wks 3 days, Sarah was 6 lbs 5 oz, and Priscilla was 5 lbs 8 oz. So the weight I gained was basically the weight of the babies. And at my 6 wk post partum appt, I had lost 58 lb. I feel like the twin pregnancy just drained me.

On the other hand, I gained much more with my singleton pregnancies.

Re: how much weight?

I don't remember how much I gained the 1st trimester but over all I gained a total of 17lbs. Due to infertility I gained weight prior to getting preg. so that is why I didn't gain too much. I ended up losing 50lbs. 8weeks pp. Eat whatever you want with in reason and enjoy!! Too bad now I have gained more weight than when I was preg.
