Is this normal?

Question

I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow,  and I just feel fat. I haven't really had the best diet either.

I started at 126, I'm now 134.6.

Do you think this is normal?  Could any of this be baby?  Or just flab?

Answer

The baby doesn't weigh much but there are more considerations than just the baby. I even out....I gain water weight and bloat in the first trimester, then that eases and I don't really gain weight in the second trimester. Then gain in the third trimester. However, everyone is different so don't stress just remember to not fall prey to the eating for two theory.

Answer

The baby only weighs .49oz at 12 weeks. Every woman's pregnancy is different. Talk to you doctor to make sure you're not gaining weight too fast. Fast weight gain increases risk of gestational diabetes as well as increased possibility for stretch marks (which might not be a concern for you). On average a woman who is of normal weight should gain 25 lbs during her entire pregnancy. This includes the weight of you baby. However, if you were underweight your doctor might want you to gain more than the average 25lbs. A healthy weight is just as important to your baby's development as it is to your health.

Answer

I found this calculator that creates a weight gain graph for your entire pregnancy. You just put in your starting weight and height and that's all.

Answer

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat. I started around 111-113 and now I'm at 121. I'm almost 12 weeks. I went 3 weeks just feeling gross and fat (not pregnant fat but "I've lived off of crap food fat). This past week I've felt better. I think most of the early stuff was bloat and now it's slowly turning more into pregnancy/baby gain. This is my 4th.
