Anyone else having a hard time gaining weight???

Question

I’m 13 weeks 3 days and the bump is definitely there but my weight hasn’t increased at all...want to make sure I’m eating enough for my babe!

Answer

I’m 17 weeks and I’m actually still 5 pounds under my start weight. You don’t need to be gaining a bunch of weight, especially that early on. As long as you’re getting the right nutrients and being healthy, you’re fine!

Answer

I lost weight before I got pregnant I was 230 due to height but when I went to the doctor I was down to 218 so I might be all belly

Answer

I’ve lost 6 pounds so far. I didn’t gain weight with my second until I was 24 weeks. My first I gained 10 in the first trimester. Every pregnancy is different. If your doctor isn’t worried, don’t worry.

Answer

In the same boat, 15 weeks and down about 6 pounds since getting pregnant. My bump is visible but my doctors don’t seemed concerned as baby keeps growing.

Answer

I lost weight before I found out I was pregnant and your doctor will tell you the first trimester isn't really a concern for you to gain weight and you actually only increase calorie intake by 300 in the second trimester. Eating for two is just a saying. If you're underweight you should gain more, if overweight gain less, and in between no more than 25 lbs total. Just ask your doctor what they think is appropriate for you. I gained like 3 lbs by the time I was 12 weeks. My next appointment is Monday so I'll see how I'm doing. I'm actually terrified of being huge and overly fat and the end lol. I still eat though and snack healthy during the day.

Answer

I am 15 weeks today and I have lost 5 lbs since starting. Not showing at all yet either. I can tell my lower belly is more firm. My doctor said with my nauseous it’s fine and that I should slowly start gaining weight by the 20 week scan.
