Weight Gain (so far)

[wild.blue]

Hey ladies I'm wondering how much weight everyone has gained so far? Is anyone having trouble gaining weight like me? I eat.. my belly gets bigger & bigger... but I gain nothing. I feel like I am going to go through this whole 9 months never rising above 160!

7 weeks: 156 lbs
16 weeks: 150 lbs

6 lbs lost!

I am only 10 weeks along but have gained 2 lbs. I have not been sick (felt sick at times but have not thrown up) so maybe that has something to do with it. not sure....

I was 142 before pregnancy and am currently 144

hmmm, thanks for sharing. I was nausous in the 1st trimester but not anymore. I eat all organic health food and a good amount of it. I know I could stand to eat alittle more but I eat about 2 meals a day plus snacks.. I eat when I feel hungry. I dont know what my problem is..

Pre-pregnancy I weighed around 120lb, but I lost a couple of pounds before I went in for my first appointment, my dr told me its normal but he'd like me to gain between 3 and 4lbs by the next appointment which is tomorrow.. I'm 12weeks and haven't lost more weight but I haven't gained any either, I want to gain for the baby's sake, I don't want to lose anymore. So I'm focusing on not losing.. I'm sure you'll start picking up on some weight .. my sister had a lot of trouble gaining during her first trimester and well into her second, then it started adding on! You'll be fine!

I am 23 weeks and have only gained 3 lbs (I gained about 11 lbs between 4-10 weeks but lost a lb here and there and 6lbs last month) but defintely have a preggo belly.  I asked the doctor where all of this was coming from all my other weight redistributing itself to the front.  All I do is eat is here lately.  I wouldn't worry about the lack of weight gain though.  Just enjoy it for now.  With my first I didn't start piling the weight on until the last 10 weeks or so.

I am 18 weeks and have not gained or lost anything.  I was sick during the first trimester but didn't lose any weight with it.  I had a u/s today and the baby is measuring right at 18 weeks (even though I look like I'm 6 months) =)

At my 13 week dr's appointment, I had lost 2 lbs due to lots of morning sickness during first trimester.  Now, I weigh 1 lb higher than my original weight.
It's normal to go up and down during your first trimester and beginning of your second trimester (per my dr)

I'm about 5' 5"
before pregnancy - 145
13 weeks - 143
15 weeks - 146

I will be 28 weeks on wed. and i didn't gain anything the first trimester, i lost 7 lbs. it wasn't until about a month and a half  ago that i started to gain some weight, and it's mostly my belly! (thankfully!) I have gained 15 lbs. It was like all of a sudden i had this big belly and the baby is definitely bigger. Have never felt kicks like this before! My goal is to gain no more than a total of 25-30 lbs....i think i can do it! =)

Ahhh.... I will be 23 weeks on Thursday and I have gained 14 lbs!!!!  I tend to lose 2 or 3 then gain back.  I am hoping and I mean HOPING AND PRAYING that I do not go over 30 lbs!
