PREGNANCY 18-34 COMMUNITY
gained 10lbs in 8weeks??

gained 10lbs in 8weeks??

Is this horrible? I am only 8 weeks and have gained 10lbs! I am 5feet 11in and started at 141lbs now 151lbs. This is depressing for me because from what I understand most women either lose or gain a couple pounds at this point. I did quit smoking and have been trying to eat healthier and drink at least 2liters of water a day. Could either of those be a factor? I just have this big pooch now :( and I know its not baby....just me :(

Quitting smoking will do it everytime!!! its probably just water retention since your body is going through a system shock since you quit...i bet in the next 8w it levels out and you will probably lose a few pounds!!

Weight gain *****. I've gained some weight & feel awful about it.  My obgyns not concerned about it.All you can do is eat healthy & exercise. Quitting smoking will put some weight on. In the end it'll be worth it, just a little extra to work off.
