Anyone gain a lot of weight in first 20 weeks?

Question

I'm almost 19 weeks and I have gained about 25lbs. Feeling very defeated. I don't over eat and I haven't been able to excersize much because I was very nauseous and had awful migraines up up until 16 weeks. Anyone else have this happen? (If you have gained 2lbs congratulations but I really don't need to hear about how little you have gained.. It makes me feel worse. I'd appreciate empathy and would love if someone else had the same thing happen)

Answer

With my first baby I gained 80 pounds! I started at 115lbs!

After I had her, I lost ALL the weight within 2-3 months and had a better body than before and felt stronger (from carrying car seat) and healthier! It comes off if you make healthy choices and take care of yourself. Plus, breastfeeding burns like a bajillion calories.

Answer

For some people you just can't control how much you gain no matter how hard you try. Don't feel like it's something you did wrong! But your weight gain also depends on your starting weight. If you are a smaller person you're more likely to gain fast! Don't feel defeated(:
