Has anyone been able to stay within the recommended weight gain???

Question

I was 172.5, which is considered overweight, before the pregnancy. They say in the first trimester you should only gain 1-4.5lbs. At my first appointment at 9 weeks I had already gained 5.5. Now at 11 weeks and 1 day I feel bloated as shit and anti-salad. I haven’t experienced any morning sickness either just constipation. Has anyone else gone over their recommended weight gain?

Answer

If you’re bloated and constipated that might be inflating your weight a bit. Honestly I never look at my weight and just tell my doctor to tell me if there’s a problem. It’s so much less stressful! This will be my fourth baby and I plan to do the same thing.

Answer

I keep avoiding to know my weight and weight gain. It will mess with my head. But I’m definitely anti-salad lol

Answer

I am overweight as well. I lost 40 lbs before getting pregnant. I have lost another 4. I don’t have nausea but no food sounds good.  I have to remind myself to eat.

Answer

I started at 172 as well and am 9 weeks, so far by some miracle I have only gained about 2 pounds and I have no idea how because I've been eating like shit. BUT let me tell you, with my first pregnancy I started at 152 and had gained 15 pounds by 15 weeks! I ate suuuuuper healthy with that pregnancy and counted my calories and everything, and I gained 70 pounds. Literally could not have done anything better with regard to diet. I'm convinced that pregnancy weight gain is immune to science and makes no sense whatsoever. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I’ve gained 5lbs at 8 weeks. This is my first pregnancy and I’m bloated all the time. I get nauseous if I don’t eat and I’m exhausted. So obviously I’m gaining more than I should. It’s freaking me out

Answer

I’m 5’8” and I was overweight at the start of my first pregnancy (195). I didn’t gain any weight for the first 14 weeks. By the time I delivered I had gained 40. I’m currently 10.5w with my second. Haven’t gained anything yet but praying I can stay under 25 this time around! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Answer

I’m obese at 5’3 and 193lbs 😬 I get pregnant 6 months after my second on accident. And I’m 9+5 and have lost about 8lbs because I’m so nauseous. but with my second I only gained 10lbs hoping the same for this pregnancy

Answer

I'm 172 as well. I'm just 8 weeks, but haven't gained anything on the scale yet, but I definitely feel bigger. My clothes are tight, but its all just bloating, which is so weird that it doesn't show on the scale.

Answer

Somehow I've managed to lose 3 pounds with how shitty my appetite has been!

Answer

I started 149 slightly over weight and am at 152 now at 11 weeks.
