Anyone else gain too much first trimester?

Question

I ate way too much and frequently during first tri due to constant nausea that wouldn’t be quelled without carbs. And honestly, I was also just having “oh fuck it” moments, which is on me. 
I was up 11 lbs by the start of second trimester. I’m now trying to slow down as much as I can. I’m at 16 + 5 and back down a lb (so now a net gain of 10) but I spend my time at work just counting down the minutes until I can eat again. Ugh. I’m so hungry but I overeat. Haha.
Anyone else?

Answer

I am at exactly the same place. I gained 11 pounds at 16 weeks. Most was first trimester. I was thin to begin with and was on lower carb/no dairy diet for years. I was so sick every day first trimester and all I could hold down was like bagels with cream cheese everyday or crackers...cookies... Never had that many carbs. I’ve also always been into working out regularly but had to stop due to being so sick to my stomach everyday and throwing up. But now that the sickness ended I’m eating less carbs and working out regularly. And staying same weight the past two weeks. So I’m not worrying as much about my weight continuing to skyrocket. Just want to be healthy weight

Answer

eat fruit or veggies and drink a glass of water if you are legitimately hungry between meals and you will be fine :)

Answer

I have gained 13 lbs and workout 
Very fit . I eat what I want. Don’t worry about it . As long as your staying active it’s healthy to gain. Everyone is different

Answer

I’m up 12lbs at 16 weeks. Same situation for me - I was nauseous in the first trimester and carbs were all that seemed to help. I’m trying to not freak it about it. I definitely work out less (too tired/weak) but I’m staying active and making sure I’m at least walking everyday. I’m just trying to at least eat healthy things and trust that I’m gaining because baby needs me to!

Answer

Your weight gain may slow down, soon you’ll be too uncomfortable to overeat. That said though, you def need to slow down...think about it this way you have about 23 weeks left and you’re in 2lb/week zone. You will have gained almost 60 lbs total. Try to keep some fruit around to snack on and drink more water. I heard drinking a glass of water 30 minutes before a meal will make you eat less

Answer

Yup! This is me. Started at 118 and weighed in at 128 today ... I’m 15.5 weeks and feeling so discouraged! Carbs curb the nausea and just snacking in general. I try to make it healthy but cravings are real this time around. I never had such intense cravings with my first boy! Sigh. I walk every day ( or other day) and today I did my first pregnancy DVD workout and will continue do that daily in hopes of slowly down this weight gain 😩😩😩😩 you’re not alone!

Answer
