Weight gain so far

[laila 44]

Yup it's really personal. Not something that can be used as a guideline. For ex my dr doesn't like lots of weight gain but when I gained 55 pounds total with my first he never said a word. My friend however who was already overweight gained 8 pounds in first trimester and he got really pissed. It just depends on you, your body and how it will react. Also makes a difference how your bmi and weight was prior to pregnancy

I was already at a healthy (not underweight) weight when I got pregnant...I'm 18 weeks and I've gained 6 pounds, although it seems like more because I know I have lost a lot of muscle and gotten squishy. It's all good though. Almost all of my cravings are healthy so I'm really embracing this. My MS is gone so everything tastes amazing, I anticipate my weight gain will pick up soon! Don't beat yourself up over any weight gain, your body does what it needs to do.

22 weeks - 7 lbs

I'm back to calorie counting and exercising regularly again, so hoping to slow it down to only be actual baby weight that I gain! (I gained all 7 of those pounds over the holidays)

15 weeks - I haven't gained anything yet, I'm down a couple of pounds from when I fell pregnant as I ate barely anything for most of first tri but I am overweight so not supposed to be gaining much.

26 weeks and last time I weighed I have gained a total of 5 pounds...I am not complaining as with my other 2 I gained around 60 pounds each time

I've gained 20lbs and I really don't care. I gained a lot with my son and it all fell off afterwards fairly quickly. My doctor isn't concerned either. Weight gain severely differs among women.

I gained around 16lbs so far, but my bump doesn't look 'that big' so hmmm maybe it's me that's gained and not baby! I was enjoying the Christmas food this year a bit more than the usual I will only worry if my midwife does.

I have gained 6 pounds so far, I think mainly that's constipation weight :X sorry...

I had gained 50 pounds with the twins and had lost 55 pounds by the time they were two weeks old. So not worried at all this time round. xx

22weeks... gained 18pounds so far but was only 114 pounds to begin with. My bump and boobs feel massive- already gone up 2 cup sizes (but was practically flat to begin with)... sort of think/ hope maybe i had more to gain? Xxx

I'm 15 weeks and I've gained about two pounds. But I was at a healthy weight (actually even up just slightly for me) when I got pregnant. Everyone is definitely different.

I find people's comments to baby weight very annoying actually. We started telling people at about 12 weeks and it really caught me off guard that a few people would say things like "I thought you looked a little chubby!"

I was like... actually no, I'm definitely not showing yet and I haven't gained any weight, that's just my stomach. But thanks a bunch!

Now that I'm starting to show it doesn't bother me as much. I'm quite looking forward to feeling like I have an official baby bump!!!!! (it's my first and I'm just starting to get it now)
