Weight gain in the first trimester?

Question

I'm 12 weeks 4 days and I haven't gained much weight at all, my weight has gone from 165 to 168, and back down to 161. I was really sick in the beginning and now I've been fine. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm driving myself crazy thinking something's wrong. 😞😞😞

Answer

I'm almost 17 weeks and still losing weight and no nurse or dr sees a problem because the baby is perfect.

Answer

It's normal. Not everyone gains anything or much of anything in the first trimester. A lot of women lose weight due to nausea. It's fine. Trust me , you'll start gaining soon enough and your doctor should be keeping an eye on you at every apt.

Answer

Didn't gain weight until 20 weeks

Answer

Has anyone noticed a small bump regardless of the weight? I have a little bump but haven't gained a lot so I'm curious as to what's going on with my body! I have too many questions as this is my first pregnancy. :)

Answer

Weight gain in your 1st trimester isn't important with the requirement being 0 lbs.  A lot of ladies lose weight due to morning sickness. I gained 5 in my 1st trimester because I never threw up and needed to eat to keep my nausea in control, but am 33 weeks now and have only gained 17 lbs total. Everybody is different. I wouldn't worry about it. Just listen to when your body is hungry, try to make good choices, and have a loose goal of weight gain for your entire pregnancy. It's not worth stressing about.

Answer

You won't see weight gain happen until later in pregnancy as your baby grows and you're appetite gets bigger.

Answer

Nothing is wrong you're still early on. I am 21 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds. Just wait it'll happen Haha

Answer

I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and I've only gained one pound and a half. Baby is fine 😊

Answer

Thank you everyone! I appreciate it :)

Answer

I didn't gain until the start of the 3rd trimester (lost 20+ lbs actually).  My doc said as long as baby's measurements were good he didn't really care about weight.
