Weight Gain-first Trimester

So I know the issue of weight gain is touched on a lot but I never psid much attention to the posts because I wasnt too concerned until now! I had my my monthly ob apt yesterday and have gained 5lbs in the last 4 weeks!!!!!!! I was exactly 14wks yesterday. My doc said it was a GOoD thing BC I started out so low (116lbs) I gained 2 lbs from 7-10wks and then to 5 from 10-14wks. I'm 25 and this is my first pregnancy. I usually hear of people losing or not gaining anything in the first trimester, because I have felt Great my whole pregnancy, (no morning sickness) I have continued to eat normal which btw is really healthy!!! The app said "excessive" under my weight gain chart lol. How did you all fair in the first trimester??

I've gained 10lbs and I'm 16 weeks.My doctor only said for me to slow it down. I weigh more than you, I'm also 5'8, not sure how tall you are, but 116 is a low weight. I wouldn't worry about other moms who are loosing weight while pregnant.  I've gained weight with all three of my pregnancies, I lost all of it from the first two and will do it again! Keep in mind, the breakdown isn't just the baby, amniotic fluid etc, your body will store some fat too this is storage for your future breast milk. As long as your eating healthy don't worry, your body is doing what it needs to do.

I've lost 30lbs n I'm 21 wks now. My belly keeps getting bigger but my weight is holding so I'm still not gaining any. Obviously the app for me says I'm dangerously under but I was heavy to begin with. The baby is basically sucking all my weight as it gains. Doc told me as long I can hold this weight or gain no more than 10 lbs I'm good. My diet hasn't changed at all... I was already on a strict diet plan for being hypoglycemic just to keep my sugars stable so I'm doing great even with losing so much.
