Average weight gain in first trimester ?

I wouldn't worry, I think the reason most people dont put on much weight in the first trimester is because of nausea and vomiting and not eating much, If you havent really suffered these then you will prob have but on a few pounds, as although the baby is tiny and weighs next to nothing, its likly that you will be starting to retail some fluids and but on some fat stores.
My weight went up initially then I hit a bit of late morning sickness and now Im balloning. I just weighed myself and I have now gained exactly 1stone and I feel like crying!

 

I am not too sure when it comes to weight gain... I weighed 9 st 5 when I 1st fell pregnant I got weighed on Friday by the midwife and I am now 9st lost 5 lbs i am 16wks and 4days preg too....

 

I've put on 4lb so far. Reckon I will put on a lot more once the nausea has subsided!

 

I have put on half a stone

 

Ah thanks Sarah, I jst know my mum never shifted baby weight, (but then againshe is lazy and dosent eat as well as she could) and I just hate the thought of being the same. I have always had a really good figure and loved the fact that I could get away with wearing anything, I want to be able to start dieting and exercising as soon as the babys born but I cant even do that straight away. I will be starting aqua natal classes in a couple of weeks, and I have my pregnancy yoga DVD but its really tame stuff that more shows you breathing techniques. Plus my back is bad so I cant over excert myself.
I dont know if you can diet after giving birth as it might effect brest milk, as I think you need tokeep your calorie intake up. I will have to check this with my midwife next time I see her.

 

Its a good sign that you have been able to lose a large amount of weight before, you know that you can, and your skin must have a fair bit of elasticity to it. I have never been over weight and have gained stretch marks already, I know what you meen about the food thing though, its hard to know if the weight being put on if from pregnancy weight or eating the wrong things, I must admit I have been snacking in the evenings recently which probably isnt helping! My partner doesn't understand why its bothering me, but I guess its cause I feel I have no control over my weight gain, I cant go on a diet or start working out like hell, I just have to sit there and let myself get bigger. Im hoping that if I start working on getting my figure back asap I have a better chance of suceeding, plus I am still young, which should work in my favor.

 

Weight gain?! I've lost 9lb since being pregnant I'd better put a whole stone on in the next 4 weeks then!!

Hi!
I am 14 weeks and I have put 3.5 kgs ( is it 7 pounds?) In England, they say you should put on weight between 2 and 4 pounds the first trimester but in France ( where I come from) they say you should put on weight 1 kg ( 2 pounds?) per month. So the french way, i have not put too much weight while the english one, i have. So ladies, it all depends on countries as you can see so chose the one that suits you the best !!!

 

im 14 weeks and haven't even put on 1 pound, and i haven't been sick so thats not why, should i be worried? although i am starting to get a belly now x

 

I didn't gain any weight during my second pregnancy. I had a glucose intolerance in my first, so as soon as I found out with number 2 I had to drop the sugar out of my diet. This resulted in me effetively loosing a lot of weight! I was lighter after I gave birth than I was before I got pregnant. Unfortunately it didn't take me long once he was born to pile it all back on again!

I have just lost 2 stone before I found out I was pregnant, through hard work and careful eating. I am not being so careful with the eating now (though still watching the sugar!) as I am eating to combat the queasiness and am not working so hard on my exercise (the will is there, the energy isn't!) so I have noticed I have gone a bit flabby again. After throwing out all my big clothes I want them back now as I can't stand anything too tight around my belly! When I weighed myself the other day I had only put on a few pounds, here's hoping I can keep it to a minimum!

 

Well I have a baby belly and had put on approx 4lb, then I weighed myself before I had a bath earlier and am back to what I was. Guess it's cos I am not eating as much bad stuff because of the nausea and becuse I just don't fancy a lot of foods anymore.

 

Eek!!!

I weighed myself yesterday at 22 & 1/2 weeks and I've gained over 1.5 stone already! AND I had really bad nausea for the first 17 weeks (but found snacking on high carb foods actually helped!).

But I was a smoker and a little underweight before I fell pregnant. I gave up smoking as a NY resolution and am sure I gained 1/2 a stone just from snacking and from slower metabolism etc as a result of that.

Had second scan yesterday and baby is fine - right size etc, so I'm not worrying just yet!!!
