1st tri weight gain
I think I have gained a total of 6lbs since becoming pregnant. That is going by the last time I weighed myself before my bfp until today. I am 12 weeks. Is this normal? Too much, too little? I think from what they weighed me at the doctor I may only have gained 3 or 4lbs. I wore my sneakers the first time they weighed me, and plan to take them off this time. I just don't want to go to my 2nd appt this week, and get told I have gained too much. I am lucky my appt is early in the morning. I am just worried my m/s has finally slowed down so I have been able to eat more, and by more I mean I feel like I am making up for those lost weeks. Plus with Thanksgiving you know.

Re: 1st tri weight gain
They say 3-5 lbs of weight gain is normal for the first trimester. I am up about 6 lbs.
I used to run a lot before getting pregnant and the decrease in activity and the increase in exhaustion I think was in part the reason why I have gained so much. I also was lucky enough not to have morning sickness and a good appetite.
I am not worried however because I think in the end it will all balance out. Everyone is different and unless your doctor says something about it I wouldn't worry about it

Re: 1st tri weight gain
I agree with azoodie in the end it balances out.
Most women who have horrible morning Sickness and lose weight early on end up putting it on later on.

I think you're fine unless your doctor says otherwise!

Re: 1st tri weight gain
I doubt they will say you gained too much, sounds right to me.

Re: 1st tri weight gain
Sounds reasonable to me. I gained 5lbs with my 1st PG and 10lbs with this one (bc I tried to alleviate my MS with food and unfortunately crave McDs like crazy!)

Re: 1st tri weight gain
i gained about 3lbs by 12 weeks, but now at 20 weeks I'm up 14 lbs! so it all works out in the end.
