How much weight have you gained

[tribalmax]

Hello,

So I am not one to worry about excess weight gain -- I tend to eat whatever I want. But I am surpirsed at how much I am showing with this baby (my second) and was shocked when I stepped on the scale and realized that at 11 weeks I had gained like 10 lbs!

So I wanna know -- how much have all of you gained??

I've gained 15 pounds in 11 weeks! But I'm growing twins. I'm still not showing much. I'm hungry ALL the time. I even need to eat at 11pm or later, but sometimes I'm too tired to get up and do it. Very thirsty too.

I'm showing huge...between my 5 week pregnancy confirmation apt and my 10 week first prenatal apt I had gained right around 1lb...but I survived on cereal and water for that 4.5 weeks so there ya go. LOL

[isosmom]

I'm actually down a lb from when I found out 5 weeks ago. I'm in my 9th week. I'm sure I'll make it up in no time.

[scheelimama]

I haven't gained anything. I'm 9.5 weeks. But my tummy has pooched out quite a bit.

I have gained two pounds so far, but I am showing in my tummy now. I am ready to wear some comfy pants and maternity pants. I can't stand to have any pressure on my belly. My first pregnancy with my son I was ravenous and ate all day! This pregnancy is the exact opposite. I can only eat when I am craving the food and forget about dinner. I am so nauseated and have horrible MS in the evenings. Last time I gained 60 pounds, so I am looking forward to not gaining as much this pregnancy.

I've lost weight.

I'm in the eating constantly camp due to nursing toddler and growing baby. I think I've gained around 5 lbs but I haven't been much on a scale for quite a few months. Since I'm starting off this pregnancy 20 pounds below my pre-preg weight with DD, I'm not really concerned about how much I gain.

[LittleBrownDog]

I've lost about 8 lbs- I did the same thing with DD- lost through the first trimester and a little ways into the 2nd, then gained appropriately. I'm overweight to begin with, so the MW is OK with this as long as the weight loss isn't severe. I just figure I'm eating healthier and less, and drinking more (all things I should always do anyway)

[LittleLlama]

I was surprised to learn that I've only gained 2 pounds. I've been pretty sicky and not feeling up to eating much though.

I look like I've gained 20 right in my belly though!

[toodypie]

looks like i've gained at least 10 in my stomach but I haven't gained a pnd.

I actually think I have lost weight so I voted under 3..... I just cant eat very much right now...plus I have baby "extra" still from my other children so it takes a moment to get some good weight gain.....

[meisterfrau]

I was pretty sick for the first weeks, so I actually lost 3 lbs. Now that I am feeling a little better, I gained a pound this week, so I'm still down 2. I expect that won't last much longer!

I gained 40 lbs the last time, but hope to do a little better this time around.

[AimeeandBrian]

I didn't know what I weighed before I got pregnant because scales and me are not friends (ED history) I look like I have gained about 5 though.

[yogachick79]

I'm up just under 3 lbs from first MW appt to this last one on Tuesday, but really that means that I'm still down 3 from Pre preg weight because at my first MW appt I was 6 lighter than the last time I'd weighed myself from being so sick and not being able to eat much. Does that make sense?

[sorteep]

I have fluctuated a lot between MS and stomach flu and a cold, I think I might have a net gain of 3 pounds.. maybe.. at one point I was 2-3 pounds below pre preg weight, I am pretty sure I've gotten it back up tho,, I have been really trying,, I have weight gaining "issues" (not mental, physical) , I really have to put my mind to it.. doc wants me to gain a min of 30 lbs but my last two PGcys I was only able to manage 20 each time,, we;ll see this time, I am older..

[Grace24]

I'm with Aimee, ED history so I don't weigh myself. At the doc I turned around and told her not to tell me what I weigh...figured I'd let them worry about it for me. I can still wear my old pants but they're just a little tight around the middle so I'm not wearing a lot of them anymore...I'm 8 weeks 1 day. I feel like I gained 5 pounds just in my boobs though!

[Momma Aimee]

i did not gain enough with T -- fought it the whole nine months and had issues due to it.

I started weighting on O day then again on the day of my first Pos test -- so I could "get credit" for each preggo pound as I am way under "expected" weight to start with.

I am soooooooooooo excited to be up 5 pounds in one month and be 113 at 10 weeks; wth T I was 105 at 10 weeks.

[VeganC]

5 pounds at 12 weeks.

I'd been checking the scale this whole time and only 1, maaaaaybe 2 pounds if I just ate. Then I stopped for a while because nothing was really happening, but I tried again a few days ago and wow - a number 2 pounds higher that anything I've seen in a while and my dr visit confirmed about a 3-4 lb gain so far and it all happened within the last week or so. eek!
