What was your first trimester weight gain--if any?

I have gained 3 pounds. I have one week left before my first trimester is over.

My doctor said not to worry about it, but I feel like a blob .

My arms are bigger, my thighs and butt have all expanded (I already had big hips).

No matter what, it is all worth it, but I feel like a fatty!

Re: What was your first trimester weight gain--if any?

We are in the same exact shoes...I'm one week away too and so far 3 lbs but that was 3 weeks ago

Im over weight to begin with.
My Dr. said she wants me to gain only 10 lbs throughout the whole pregnancy, I dont know how I can do that.

With DD 0...because I was very nauseous.

With DS....I lost 6 lbs because I was puking.

They say you should gain 4 lbs.....so you're right on track. Don't feel bad.

-4ish ... at 32 weeks, im up around 13. I think it really also depends on your weight beforehand. I consider myself overweight to begin with so I just think my body knew that it didnt need to gain

i gained 4 pounds in my 1st trimester. very jealous of those who lost weight b/c of MS. i had nausea but no vomiting - luck me! think i gained b/c of all the carbs/pretzels i ate thanks to nausea.

I lost 8lbs with this one because I was so sick. At my 24 week appointment I was back to 0 because I finally stopped puking.

Re: What was your first trimester weight gain--if any?

I didn't gain any weight my 1st trimester, nor did I get any morning sickness. So far, I will be 20 weeks tomorrow and gained 4 pounds from week 14 til now!

Re: What was your first trimester weight gain--if any?

I gained a whole five lbs by week 6, I was freaking out over it, since I started about 20 lbs overweight. I lost about 15 by the end of the first tri due to severe ms.

Dr was really pressuring me not to gain too much during the pregnancy.

I gained a lot in the 2nd tri though, I think overall gained 35 lbs. But everything is healthy and baby isn't estimated to be over 7lbs ... yet (I'm overdue).

I have petite frame and chubby belly, I'm still the same pretty much everywhere, just enormous better.
