11 wks and no weight gain

[Bean3forMe]

I am 11 weeks and haven't gained any weight with this pregnancy. I eat plenty and have not been sick at all. Anyone else in first trimester and not gaining weight?

It's normal to gain little or no weight.  It depends where you start how much you on average night gain.  The baby will take as much as it needs from you.  I'm 17 weeks and have bigger breasts and a fat tum but am still nearly a kg less than pre-pregnancy.  I had no appetite in my first trimester and was very muscular prior to pregnancy with a BMI of about 24... You don't need much extra food/calories for pregnancy apparently so just try to get a balanced diet and regular exercise and don't worry about the scales!

I'm 22 weeks and down 3 pounds still.  I got extreme sick though.

Thanks everyone. Feeling much better. I read on medhelp bythe end of first  trimester I should gain six lbs!! I thought that sounded like alot, but I can't recall what I gained w my last 2 so was starting to worry baby might not be growing.

I am 11 weeks and have actually lost a little weight. I have been very sick for the last 5-6 weeks. I also went through this with my son so I think it will be fine.

You don't really gain any weight in the first trimester, you generally put on the most in the third.

Dont rush the weight with my first child I didn't begin gaining until 6 months and ended up gaining 62 pounds. This time around I started around 14 weeks and at 39 weeks have gained 17. Trust me it will come

I didn't gain weight until around 20 weeks I would be up one pound next appointment down one. At 20 weeks is when I had first put on but im 26 weeks and only up about 10lbs
