Anyone out there who has already gone through pregnancy?

Question

Since I found out I was pregnant I've gained 5 pounds (or about 2.3 kg) I'm reaching near the end of my first trimester. Should I be gaining more weight? I eat normal portions, healthy foods and snacks, lots of water- no juice, barely any caffeine (maybe a cup of coffee every 2 weeks), Lots of fruits and veg. And the occasional craving. But I'm not obsessing about eating loads or not eating at all (that's just not me anyways bc I love food). Should I be gaining more or am I just at a good rate??

Answer

I'm coming to the end of my first trimester and I've lost 15 lbs. I think you're just fine!

Answer

Nope, you are just fine.

Answer

I gained different amounts each pregnancy. My friend only gained 5 kg overall! There are a lot of factors. I think it's baby centre that do an expected gain calculator. It's based on height, weight pre pregnancy and how many babies you've had.

Answer

That's perfect. You're supposed to gain a pound a week after 20 weeks and a total of 25-40 pounds depending on your pre pregnancy weight. I've already gained 6 pounds and am 9 weeks bc of constant eating to curb nausea.

Answer

First trimester they don't want to see you gain more than 5 lbs, and don't worry even if you lose weight. Once you hit the second trimester they'll expect to see you gain about 1 lb per week.

Answer

You're fine. As long as you're eating healthy and not "eating for two" you're fine. You really only 'need' to gain 25-35 pounds or less, and most of that will be in the third trimester. With my first I lost ten pounds in the first trimester and gained back 25 pounds over the next two.

Answer

Thanks girls!
