Should we have gained weight yet or am I eating too much?

Question

Hey guys! I was 5'9 and 160 when I conceived. I'm 7 and a half weeks now and have already gained 4 pounds. Is this too much already ? Am I eating too much? I feel like most of it is in my boobs! I worked out before I got pregnant but now I'm just so exhausted that I can't get my butt to the gym. What do you guys think?

Answer

Your not suppose to gain much, if any, weight during the first trimester. If you gain 8 lbs or more they'll start testing you for gestational diabetes.

Answer

With both of my babies I didn't gain a pound until about 18 weeks... The last trimester is when weight gain really started. My dr told me about a pound a week after 12 weeks is a good guideline.

Answer

Honestly 4 lbs could be water weight or a big poo :) just try to eat normally you don't need extra food right now :)

Answer

I don't think you're supposed to quite yet. But as a woman, weight fluctuates so much and there is so much going on in our bodies, I fluctuate 2-3 pounds in one day.

Answer

Go to this site. It will help you know how much weight you should gain depending on where you are in your pregnancy. Don't worry too much if it fluctuates past it a bit. http://www.calculator.net/pregnancy-weight-gain-calculator.html

Answer

Okay now I'm two pounds less. False alarm!! I guess it's just fluctuations !

Answer

With my last pregnancy I had gained 6lbs by 11 weeks and my doc said nothing. With my first pregnancy I gained close to 50lbs... Some just gain more than others.. If curious, ask your doc :)
