weight gain?

So I've gained 5 pounds in the first trimester and this app says it's excessive and now I feel fat :((((.. I haven't had any morning sickness so I've just been eating my normal three meals. I have been doing my prenatal work out 3 times a week and taking my dog for walks lots now that it is nice out. Is this too much weight to gain so early?? Anyone else gain weight in first trim??

Hey girl. No worries about your 5lbs.  Most of the reading I've done suggests 0-6 lb weight gain in the first tri and 1lb/week after that.  And even that is just a guideline.  You've gained the perfect amount for a healthy first tri! Yea! I also had NO nausea, so just have been eating normally too! Yea!!!!

Every pregnancy is different. My first I gained 80 pounds my second was 30 pounds and this pregnancy I've only gained 7 pounds and I only have a couple weeks yet.

This app has always told me I have gained an excessive amount... I don't like using the weight chart on it.. Im 37 weeks and have gained 30lbs which I'm really happy with.

I gained 6 pounds in my first trimester, and have been right on track ever since. I'm currently 38 weeks and have gained 30 pounds. Don't worry one bit...it all evens out.

I don't think it's excessive. If I remenber correctly ee are both due in November a day or two apart and ive put on mire than 5pounds. My doctor hadnt daid anything and ehen I asked about it he said its probably water weight and extra weight from constipation and gas.

I am tiny usually. I haven't really eaten much more than usual (except in spurts) but I am steadily gaining weight. This app says my weight he gain is excessive too. I am 33 weeks and I've gained 37 lbs. I gained 60 with my first, 45 with my second, etc. I am resigned to just being healthy and worrying about it later, as I have never had trouble losing all the weight before. Just make sure you are making healthy choices, and if you continue to gain don't sweat it so much... Just quit entering your weight in the app so you don't start obsessing. :)
