3 months weight gain

[Amy1830]

I'm just wondering how much any of you had gained at the 3 month mark. I've gained only 1 lb. I've never been the fast metabolism type, I go to the gym and eat healthy and am thin but not because I was just born that way. With my son I gained 64 lbs by the end so I've been very aware of not gaining too much but I am eating approx 300 calories more than normal. I'm not really concerned but my family and fiancé seem to think I should have already gained some weight. My breasts are bigger, I have a tiny bump already and I am always constipated so I figured that would be a couple extra lbs but nope. And even though I was nauseous in the very beginning I wasn't actually throwing up. Could it just be that your metabolism is faster in pregnancy? Cuz honestly I don't really mind, I figure I'll gain most of it in the last half and hopefully stay in the 25-35 lb weight gain range. Just want to compare with other moms!

I didn't put on any weight until about 18-20 weeks. I'm now 38 weeks and I've put on 26lbs

I didnt really start putting on weight until about 5 months.  I went from 135 to 206.

Ok yeah I figured it was ok because alot of women lose weight from all the sickness they have. And I'm actually happy I haven't gained alot. My fiancé keeps telling me to eat more but I told him gaining fat isn't going to help the baby! I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Thanks ladies :)

I lost 40 lbs in my first trimester because I was constantly sick but I am gaining it now that I'm in my last its normal

I also lost weight in the first three months... I had a bit of morning sickness but nothing extreme I lost about 5 pounds... I'm currently five months and have only gained about 1 pound but my doctor is happy with my weight and says it is good

You really dont need to gain the first three months.  I tend to lose.  I also only put on 1 lb over December which made my doctor very happy and I am 34 weeks 2 days now.  But then my doctor only wants me putting on 12-21 lbs.  She said the less weight a woman puts on the easier and better chances of a successful vaginal birth.  Everyone's body works different but if you are eating right and working out then I would not worry.  :-)
