Anyone gained any significant weight yet?

Question

I'm only 5 weeks along, and I've already gained about 10 pounds!!! I know I've eaten more than usual, but I can't fathom how that's added up to 10 pounds in a month. I haven't had any real morning sickness (yet), and i don't know if I will. It doesn't help that I'm in recovery for an eating disorder, so while I've accepted the fact that weight gain is necessary and inevitable, I'm really discouraged that it's already added up this fast. Im eating the proper nutrition as best I can for my baby, but I'm worried that it'll keep adding up this fast every month! Can anybody weigh in?

Answer

Honestly, I would just eat healthy and stay off the scale. I know it's hard not to obsess but that could be a combo of things... water retention, slower digestion, hormones or maybe you just needed a little extra cushion for that baby. I'm sure you won't be gaining 10 Lbs every few weeks so I wouldn't stress too much. 😜

Answer

I've been in treatment on and off for eating disorders for 12 years...I gained ALOT with my first because my body's metabolism was terrible...and I was underweight...I lost it all pretty fast with breastfeeding though...it's necessary while pregnant though...it did mess,me up pretty bad and I relapsed badly when I found out I was pregnant again a year later...now I'm just telling myself baby is the one gaining...silly I know...but it's working for,me now...and it helped at the end of my second pregnancy too...don't worry about tut though...I'm 7w and up 12lbs...worth it in the end

Answer

Answer

I'm 7 weeks 2d and so far have managed to lose a few pounds. I have had terrible morning sickness with this pregnancy and am still holding on to a lot *cough, all* of my weight from my first pregnancy. My goal is to only gain 0-5 pounds with this baby! wish me luck 😜

Answer

The smaller you are to begin with the more weight you will possibly gain for the baby. Bigger women don't need to gain as much since they already have reserves, like me. I only gained 20 pounds with my first. I m hoping for the same with this one. Especially since I am starting out 10 pounds heavier this time around.

Answer

I gained ten pounds right away with my first. And to be honest the weight gain never really slowed down but after two years and another baby I've lost all the weight. It took some time and less carbs but I got there. Just remember, while it's not fun, it's temporary and you will go back to being smaller and you'll have a beautiful baby to boot :)

Answer

I've had such horrible nausea that I'm down almost 10lbs, (I'm super curvy so I could stand to lose more than that) my gallbladder has been giving me a lot of issues so my usual diet has been thrown out the window, hoping after my first appt next week my dr can help me out and I can get back to feeling normal!
