dramatic weight gain for first trimester?

Question

I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Before pregnancy I was around 110 lbs and 5'6" - a bit on the "skinnier" side and I like to think I was pretty fit and my stomach was fairly flat. But I swear I've already gained like 10 lbs 😟 and I'm only 9 weeks pregnant! (Baby is the size of an olive). I feel bloated and huge at all times. I know people don't start showing til much later but I already have a little stomach pouch I definitely didn't have before. Is this normal?

Answer

I gained a lot of weight in my first trimester with my first pregnancy and then leveled off later.  Don't worry about it.

Answer

Whoa. You can check a BMI chart because if you had a lower BMI, then you can gain extra, but you really only want to gain about 3lbs the first trimester. Approximately 30lbs overall. I would be careful - unless you think it's all bloat right now?

Answer

My BMI was very similar to yours at the start of my first pregnancy, and a lot of my weight gain also happened in the first 12-15 weeks. I think it's okay, based on comparing it to my weight gain in my first pregnancy (I gained 25-28 lbs overall), but check with your doctor if you're worried. No matter what they say though, the weight you've gained so far has no effect on the weight you may or may not gain later (you might not keep gaining weight at the same rate). Weight gain during pregnancy is about laying up reserves that your body will use up while you're breastfeeding (if you choose to do so); since your BMI is/was on the underweight side, your body really didn't have many reserves before pregnancy so it's kind of playing catchup right now.

Answer

I've always been skinny and had a good metabolism but have put on loads of weight since being pregnant, like 40 pounds! I'm 30 weeks now 🙊 I think it just effects everyone differently

Answer

I weighed 125 before getting pregnant. I gained 10 pounds my first 8 weeks and it's been slow and consistent since then!  30 weeks and have gained 25

Answer

So, my weight has stayed the same but my shape has changed. My pants barely fit around my waist and the shape of my stomach has changed but I weight the same. It is weird b/c normally when I can't fit into my pants I have usually gained around 10 pounds. Just my body changing I guess. I am almost 11 weeks.

Answer

I was 95lbs before pregnancy 1st trimester I gained 14lbs you're fine unless your Dr says differently
