How much weight should I put on after the 1st trimester?

Question

I'm reading a book that suggested mothers of multiples should gain weight more rapidly and gain more weight than a mom of a singleton. What do you ladies think?

Answer

My first appointment was at 5 weeks and I weighed 130 and didn't start gaining weight until 12-14 weeks

Answer

I found this on the internet. It has held true with my pregnancy. I'm at 24 weeks today with twins.

Answer

I gained one pound my first trimester. The baby is so small then so if you haven't gained much I wouldn't worry. Just make sure you gain in your second tri!

Answer

Depends on your weight starting out compared to your height/BMI all that fun stuff. Were you underweight, overweight, "normal?" Normally they want you to gain between 25-30 lbs over your pregnancy. BUT--I was underweight so they are wanting me to gain 40-45 lbs total.

Answer

I went to the doctors yesterday and was told I've gained 4 pounds which doc said was fine (11weeks today)

Answer

Depends on your pre-pregnancy weight. Im not a small girl.. About 190 and 5'6" and I'm down 3 pounds at 10 weeks. Babies are strong and healthy. Measuring within a day off. My doctor said I was fine. He also said that I could lose a lot more and still have a healthy pregnancy. First trimester most people are sick and lose anyway. Second and third trimester are when you gain more. Good luck! :)
