Omg this weight gain? Is this normal?

Question

I'm 5'9 and before I found out I was pregnant I was 130 pounds. I'm 8 weeks and 2 days and now I'm 142!!! I gained 12 pounds, I still workout just eating a bit more because I'm always starving. Is this much weight gain normal? What can I do to lose some of the weight? Why am I gaining so much? This can't be good...

Answer

I lost 5 pounds since everything is making me sick...

Answer

At 7 weeks I had already gained 8 pounds with my first baby. But your doctor will let you know if they are concerned that you’re gaining too much.

Answer

Yes!!! It will slow down! I gained 10 immediately with my first. Was 120 then 129 at my first apt 8 weeks. I was like whaaaaa?!? I did completely stop working out though because I was crazy. But I actually lost 2 before the next apt at 12 weeks. And had a very slow gain from then on! You’ll be fine! Your tall and lean too so the weight gain will look just right on you as you get bigger!

Answer

I’m 5’9” and weighed 135 ish when I found out I was pregnant and I’m 142 now at 6 weeks so I’m gaining too. I think because we started with a BMI on the lower end of normal, we’re going to gain more than others in our pregnancies. I was down to 128 at the beginning of the year and was in such good shape, but it was a lot of work to maintain that. I’m still tracking my calories every day and I’m walking about 3 miles a day (paranoid about working out the way I was before). Trust your body, it knows what it’s doing to grow this baby. If you’re 5’9” 130, you know exactly what to do to take the weight back off post pregnancy. Don’t worry!

Answer

It could mostly be water retention. I'm feeling plump these days but I'm not making great eating choices.
