16 week weight gain
Just got back from the Dr. I've gained 10 lbs. in 16 weeks. This sounds like a lot for me. She didn't say anything regarding my weight. I def don't think I gained this much at this point with my last. Ugh. I know I shouldn't google but I did and basically according to different sites, it's a lot! Am I crazy?

That sounds about on point. Everyone is going to be different, if your doctor isn't worried, I wouldn't be worried. STOP GOOGLING!

that was about the same for me too. I try not to stress about the weight gain. I know it will come off. last time I told the nurse not to even tell me what my current weight was. Just don't want it stressing me out!

Re: 16 week weight gain
Everyone gains at their own rate and when they need to gain. As long as you aren't eating tremendous amounts of unhealthy foods, I wouldn't worry about it.

16 week weight gain
At my 16 week appointment I didn't put any additional weight on from my 8 and 12 week appointments... My doctor wasn't concerned. He said everyone gains at their own pace. I gained a lot at the start. I think about 10 pounds from prepregnacy to 8 weeks and have been steady since. I am expecting the scale to move at my 20 week because my clothes are certainly tighter (as I sit at my desk with my pants unzipped and unbuttoned).

If your doctor wasn't concerned neither should you, don't worry I am sure it is right on point.
At 20 weeks I was up about 12 lbs so I was about the same you

Re: 16 week weight gain
If your doctor isn't worried, then don't worry. I am 16+ weeks and haven't gained anything yet. My dr told me not to stress----we all gain at different points in the pregnancy.

my clothes are tighter and my belly is bigger.... but my scale @ home isn't really budging. maybe it's broken LOL

Re: 16 week weight gain
Thanks ladies. I know not to google, I don't know why I did. I just haven't been as conscious to eat as healthy as I did with the first. My stomach bothers me more this time around. I am def going to start eating better.

I am 14 weeks and so far am down 2 pounds. I asked the doctor about this at my 12 week visit and she didn't seem too concerned with it. She said if I am consistently losing weight throughout the 2nd trimester then we'll discuss it.

I think you are right on track. Besides, everything I have read said if you do gain to much your first trimester you should try to keep from over gaining in the your 2nd & 3rd, but shouldn't try to overcompensate for it.
Are you eating healthy? If you are not gorging on junk food and empty calories and you are eating healthy I wouldn't worry about it.
Your dr. would tell you if you needed to worry.

10 pounds is a good steady gain - if your doctor isn't worried, don't worry about it :)

I was down 4 at 12 weeks from throwing up. But it came back, no problem once the nausea stopped.

I think that's fine. I gained around 8-10 by then and only went on to gain 23 during my whole pregnancy. Everyone gains weight at different rates. I only gained 1-2 pounds my third trimester.
