weight gain

[lillou]

How much weight gain is normal for 1st tri? i was 8st 3lb but i weighed myself just now and am 8st 12lb!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am not wanting to put lots of weight on so have decided to eat better and start excercising - swimming and walking. normally i wouldnt care but back in nov when i though it'd never happen i bough my wedding dress and i still want to fit into it after pregnancy

I was similar to you chick-which is reassuring to read-by 12 weeks i'd put on half a stone!! I can't believe some people manage to lose weight during 1st tri. i wondered if it was because I (like you) didn't weigh that much in the first place...I might be wrong but I think your body gains extra weight if it needs to in the beginning???

I've put on half a stone already but I don't quite know how - me thinks me babber is swimmin around in lots of water cos me OH says he thinks i ave lost weight as in lost some flab...i been eatin really sensibley n snacking on dried fruits n nuts instead of junk - I quite a rubenesque lady anyways so am enjoying the new shape of my curves although if my boobies get much bigger i think i gonna have to go to a special bra shop instead of sainsbury's
