When do I consider that I have gained pregnancy weight?

I'll ask the dr. this too, of course, but I'm curious if any of you ladies may know....

As I've mentioned, I lost 13 pounds from m/s by my 2nd month of pregnancy. Its now my 17th week, and I officially gained that weight back, more or less. However, it was a struggle to gain this weight, and it was solely thru the help of my beloved Zofran!

Sooo - is the 13 pounds I regained considered a portion of my 25-35 pounds I'm supposed to gain, or am I supposed to gain an additional 25-35 pounds on top of where I am now, my official pre-pregnancy weight?

TIA ladies!

I always counted it from my original weight

I had ms through my entire pregnancy lost about 10 lbs and didn't regain till after 20 weeks. In the end I wound up gaining 22 lbs total from my original weight.

You are still early. A lto of woman gain nothing till the end of the 2nd trimester and the third.

I wouldn't obsess about it. the doctor will tell you if he/she is concerned about your weight.

Darling - you have an excuse now! Every pound I gain "must be the baby"

You only start from your original weight.

So... no weight gain so far.

they count it from your starting weight. So if u began at 125 and are now 135...you gained 10 pounds. if you started at 125 lost 10 pounds making it 115 and now are up to 135 I would think they would still say u gained 10 pounds.
