Too much weight at 15 weeks?

Question

I'm 5'2 and I was 126 pre-pregnancy. Now I'm 15 weeks and 136lbs. I think lbs wise I've gained too many? I'm a teacher and haven't been working since beginning of June and today I had a meeting and put on my normal dress pants and dress shirt. Although I don't have a largely noticeable baby belly I feel pretty solid and I'm aware of my stomach at all times. I guess what I'm trying to say is I already feel heavy. Is this normal or have I gained too much too soon? Please honest opinions. This is our first.

Answer

Doctors say it ideal to only gain 25-35 Lbs your entire pregnancy if your normal weight before getting pregnant... Which sounds like you were... Just watch what you eat but also talk to your doctor.... You are kinda early on so it could be bloating too. Hard to tell but I'd just stay away from junk foods and eat small portions several times a day... You don't really eat toe times of everything (not saying you are! I was just saying in case you didn't know).  :)

Answer

You are perfectly fine

Answer

I think that's okay, I jumped up by about 12 lbs within the first few weeks due to bloat and then have just kinda stayed there (20w now). So just because you gain a lot early on doesn't mean your gain at the same rate going forward.

Answer

Having gained 10 pounds at 15 weeks is not out of line from normal. Your body (hips) are changing in addition to your weight. Many normal pants won't fit at your stage.
