Not gaining weight?

[Cloncunnycash]

Hi. Just wondering whether other mums-to-be are gaining much weight? I'm 11 weeks 6 days And have literally only gained about 2 lb despite my stomach poaching out a fair bit. I have felt a lot of nausea over the last 8 weeks but only been sick once. I'm still eating well...I am eating smaller meals more frequently.  Just wondering what sort of weight gain others are experiencing and I read that in first trimester it should be around 6 lbs.

+6 lb is the top end of it. Dr says don't worry in the first tri and I lost 10 lb.  I'm now back up to 2 lb under original weight and it's all good

I lost 6lbs so far and I'm 13 weeks.  My stomach sticks out a bit but not a lot.  It might be because I quit drinking when I found out I was pregnant.

I am 11 weeks 5 days and only plus 2 as well.  You are right on track.  No worries.  Your weight gain will increase in the next tri.

That's good to hear Chenders,  thanks. I suppose we're all different and feel op St different rates. My stomach is clearly looking bigger too so it'll be loose tops at work for a few weeks now!

I haven't been sick and I've been eating a little more than I used to and I haven't gained any weight.  My tummy has expanded though.  It's pretty normal your stomach changing shape isn't so much a result of weight gain but your insides rearranging themselves.  My doctor told me no weight gain or just a couple pounds is normal for first trimester

I think I'll mention to my midwife. I never get to see my doctor everything goes through my midwife and I last saw her on 7th December and my next appointment with her is on 21st Jan. It feels like forever between appointments :( I would understand not gaining weight if i had been sick but I haven't been sick, feels like I'm eating loads!

I'm 13 weeks & actually have lost 1lb because of how sick I've been. If the doc isn't worried, u shouldn't be either.
