This makes me feel bad, I'm pretty fit and 4weeks pregnant, I already put on at least 3lbs. Not because I want to eat for 2 but because I am Starving !! And carbs are my thing right now and also chocolate things... Anyone else ?

Question

Answer

Early on my weight was very inconsistent due to water/food/waste weight. I would gain/lose ~10 pounds in 2-3 days. That went on until about 10-12 weeks.

I did eat more at first, but then morning sickness kicked in.

Answer

I also feel the same way. I'm only 6 weeks 4 days but I've put on about 3-4 lbs. but it's because I feel ravenous every 3 or so hours it seems. I read something yesterday that I only need 300 extra calories a day and in my first trimester I should expect to gain 3-5 lbs then 1 lb a week and that's considered "healthy pregnancy weight gain". I just got married in October and was in the best shape of my life and am now feeling just blah! I have also always done a variety of workouts but always barre class. I'm afraid to do my variety now because I've read up on working out and I'm seeing as long as it's something my body's used to I should be fine. But just because I don't go to HIIT workout classes every week I have always gone once in a while and been fine. But now I'm even afraid to do that! Good luck to you

Answer

I honestly wouldn't think/worry about this. My midwife says every pregnancy is different. The important isn't how much you weight or you eat, but the quality of the food you eat. I have not felt like eating junk at all (mainly due to morning sickness all the time). But what I can manage to eat is always healthy. Or 90% of what I eat is healthy. I'm sure I have lost weight since my last visit, but I'm doing what I can. At first I was starving and eating so much!! But I would only crave healthy foods. Then the nausea kicked in and I started eating less and less. Now I can only eat very small portions throughout the day. This is tough! I can't wait to put on some weight. But I'm not going to worry or stress. My midwife says baby will ask what it needs.

Answer

Im 6 weeks & have put on 4kg. I have been absolutely starving though & my calories are from extra proteins & carbs.

Answer

I hate weight stuff in pregnancy. Listen to your body and try to do you best 🤗 you and baby will be fine!
