Anyone put any weight on?

I'm 197 pounds now and 5 ft 3, so I'm kind of curvy at the moment but I havnt put on a pound yet and I'm nearly 9 weeks. I'm hoping not to put any weight on for a little while. What about you girls xx

I'm 5'5 and pre-prego weight is 116 and I weigh 118lbs. Before pregnancy I was working out daily.  Due to my fast metabolism,  it's healthier for me to not workout as much for now to allow more healthy body fat.  Normally, I'm 123. I'm in the military so my weight fluctuate a lot depending on my physical activity.  I'm on Reserves now and expect this to be opportunity to gain healthy weight for me and baby.  I didn't exercise for two weeks and gained 2 pounds.

I'm 5'3 and started out at 128 and gained about 1.5 pounds so far. I do work out though so I think that's my only saving grace as I've had no morning sickness and want to eat everything in sight :)

I've lost 4lbs, I'm 9w4d. But I usually lose when pregnant, gain a little. Lose a little...and end up the same weight I was before baby after delivery, lol. But I'm overweight so it's not a concern with me.

I'm six weeks today. I'm 6 feet tall and my pre-pregnancy weight was 183. I went to the doctor today and I weigh 188.5 :( I don't know why I'm gaining so much? I don't feel like I'm eating any different. Just hope I don't keep gaining weight like this thru the whole pregnancy.

Im 7 weeks and a day and I just went in for my first Dr appt and I gained 6 pounds in two weeks :(. I can't sleep at night or during the day I'm so exhausted. Hoping I get more energy during the second trimester.

Bondoh I have a wierd body shape. When I told the midwife she wouldn't believe my weight and demanded to see, I don't look 197 pounds. I'm quite muscular which I think makes me heavy. But I havnt been having any trouble sleeping, probly because I'm so tired. I'm also a side sleeper. Xx

I'm same weight and height as you. Have you been super uncomfortable sleeping? I'm a side sleeper and I worry my existing belly is getting in the way of baby...

I've read through a few articles and if you are already a little heavy, like I am, you should only gain 15-25 lbs the entire pregnancy. The first trimester you should gain less than 5 lbs.

Losing weight at first is common then you gain! If you think about it your recommended to only take in an additional 300 calories :)
