Anyone being careful with weight gain?

Question

With my first pregnancy I was heavier to begin with and gained more weight than I should have done (ate whatever I wanted and didn't even weigh myself!)

After my son I lost over four stone (56 lbs) and have kept that off for five years.
This pregnancy I have gained 2lbs so far and I'm 14 weeks. I'm not restricting myself hugely just tracking calories on my fitness pal and excercising a couple of times a week. Anyone else hoping for less this time?

Answer

I was overweight at the start of my pregnancy weighing 190 but I have PCOS and type 2 diabetes which makes you more likely to gain weight and so far, I'm 12 weeks and 4 days and have LOST 9 pounds

Answer

I am trying to stick to my usual pre pregnancy diet. Trying to eat as healthy as possible! What helps most is NOT buying junk food for the house-- stock up on fruits and maybe one sweet treat to indulge on. Also not taking the "eating for two" literally .. in the second trimester you should only be adding in 250 extra calories a day so I usually will treat myself to some toast or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (as those extra calories).

Answer

Answer

First pregnancy, I gained 15 lbs by week 10 😳 it ended in miscarriage and I lost 30 lbs before getting pregnant again..so far I've gained 6 lbs and I'm 15.5 weeks. Mainly in my face and boobs 😭

Answer

I am this time too. Gained 37 with my first and this time aiming for about 20-25. 15 weeks and only gained about a pound with no restricting, just eating healthy when I'm hungry, drinking loads of water, and exercising 4 days a week. Plus my sisters in law made me feel self conscious a few weeks ago blurting out "You're showing!" When literally no one else thinks I am and I can still fit in all my clothes. 😕 Didn't help.

Answer

I'm not tracking but eating well and exercising! In the first trimester I gained 3 and now I'm 15 weeks and haven't weighed but I feel bigger. I'm eating paleo 90 percent of the time and staying active and hope my body will do what it needs to do

Answer

My first pregnancy I was 115 and gained 80lbs..I craved milk after cereal had been in it all the time and the milk made me gain a lot of weight. I exercised everyday too but the weight just packed on.
This time around I'm 13 weeks and have only gained 1 1/2 lbs.

Answer

As long as you are eating healthy this is ok. When I went in for my 12 week appointment I had lost 5 pounds and the doctor said this was fine. We even got to see the baby wiggling around.

Answer

Yes!!! I gained 48 with my first and don't want to do that again! I'm technically obese and my doctor wants me to gain no more than 20 pounds. I was hoping to gain none during my first trimester but am still pretty pleased I gained only 3 pounds, considering my food aversions left me with some pretty unhealthy choices! Now I'm back to being able to eat vegetables and better food so I'm hoping to keep it at a quarter to half a pound a week for the rest of the pregnancy!
