How much weight did you gain during the first 12 weeks?

I am 10 weeks three days now and still have maintained my pre-pregnancy weight which is 112 lbs. I do have food aversions but my appetite has not increased really yet. Everyone keeps telling me that it will all change in the second trimester. I was curious how much weight did you all gain in the first 12 weeks if any at all?

 

I always lose in he first trimester. With this pregnancy I lost 6 lbs.

Second trimester is where I "pack it on." My appetite returns and aversions, for the most part, pass.

 

I didn't gain anything until after my 13 week appointment. I am now 28 weeks and have gained 23 lbs.

 

I didn't gain much weight in my first trimester but my shape sure did change - I was wearing maternity pants at 9 weeks! and I made up for any weight I should have gained in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters!!

 

I am 10w2d and have lost 4 pounds but I am sure it will increase in the next few weeks!!!

 

I didn't start gaining weight until about 14 weeks. I didn't really get sick, but had some major food aversions. Since I started gaining, I've really gained! I gained 2 pounds this last week!!!! Total I've gained 32 pounds, so far.

 

I must be the opposite - I gained probably about 10 lbs during my first 12 weeks - I steady out though - I delivered at 32 weeks and probably only gained no more than 30lbs. It differs for everyone.

 

If I remember correctly, I think I gained 4 pounds by 13 weeks.

 

I gained like 30 pounds in the first trimester but it was way too much and totally unneccessary! It took me a year to lose it. <_<

 

I don't think I had gained any in the first trimester. In fact, I had probably lost because of the severe MS. By 21 weeks, I had gained about 10lbs, and by delivery(37 weeks), I had gained 47lbs.

Agreed. I gained 10 lbs in my first trimester. I was sick all the time, but not throwing up ... and the only thing that kept the nausea at bay was food (specifically carbs) ... that being said ... when I delivered, I had gained a total of 17lbs. So I packed it on quick at the beginning, and then only gained another 7 lbs the rest of the pregnancy ...

 

So far I've gained 6 pounds...maybe more, I had headaches for about a week and didn't eat that much....maybe I loss that week idk...
Are most of you that have gained smaller or "big boned"?
I'm a big girl and my OB said that because I have had an increase of blood and that my water intake is more that that may be the reason.

 

I gained 2lbs in the first trimester and at the end I had gained a total of 64lbs!!!!

 

I gained 7 pounds my first trimester. I never had any morning sickness, nausia or food adversions, so that's probably why.

 

I lost 5 lbs in my first tri, but have since been making up for it in leaps and bounds.

 

I gained 2 lbs by 12 weeks ... but still somehow managed to gain 20 lbs by 20 weeks as Dr. Luke recommends for twin-mamas! My appetite DEFINITELY started picking up around 12ish weeks as my nausea started to ease.

 

lost 1 pound and didn't gain anything until after 14 weeks. By 24 weeks i gained 20 lbs and by the end i gained 50 even.

 

I didn't start gaining until the middle of my second trimester. I had bad nausea and food adversions until then. I was worried about the whole "20 pounds in 20 weeks" I kept hearing about (although my dr. wasn't worried). I definitely made up for it. I gained a total of 60 lbs most of it after 28 weeks. A lot of it was fluid because I lost it all by my 6 week pp appt. I also was forced to eat healthy due to GD, so that may have helped with the weight loss.

 

I had gained 7 pounds by the time I was 12 weeks. My OB said that I had gained 2 1/2 pounds too much. I thought I was doing pretty good. I'm a big girl too, and have been trying hard to eat healthy, but not always easy. Now I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I don't think my OB will be happy with my weight gain anyway so I'm just going to be like whatever.

 

Hi, I gained 9 pounds during the first trimester. I pigged out during the second trimester, then lost weight in the third trimester (bedrest, GD, etc). Total weight gain around 35 pounds. I lost 30 pounds during the first 3 weeks after birth (I swear half of it was fluids!). Lost all the weight within a month (but my shape is different).

 

I have only gained about 10lbs so far and im 29 weeks but you have to keep in mind im a bigger women and I have health factors that limit how much i should gain ! im only allowed to gain 15-20 lbs total!

 

i gained 10lbs in my first tri, but have gained another 25lbs since... i'm 24 w and up 34lbs (ugh!)

 

i lost 5 lbs so far. I hope i will start gaining weight soon.

Wow! I was 117lbs before my pregnancy and I think I´d gained about 10kg (22lbs) or more in the first 12 weeks. I had to eat every 2 hours otherwise I felt sick and faint! I got m/s too! I gained a total of 55lbs and have lost almost all of it now. GL and congrats with your pregnancy!

 

I have gained 7lbs. and I am 15 weeks...but luckily I did not ever get "sick". I stayed nauseous but eating small frequent meals helped. I feel like this is okay since with a single pregnancy you should gain about 2-4 lbs. your first trimester.

 

I didnt gain any weight in the first 12 weeks. Then I gained slowly and steadily.
Now at 38 weeks I have gained about 45 lbs. I have a lot of swelling in my calves and ankles/feet also.
I ate healthy and not some extravegant amount of food-but enough.
Good luck!

 

At my 8 week appointment they weighted me and I was 154, which is about my pre-pregnancy weight. That ranges from 150-155. At my 18 week appointment I was 162. I go back to my OB on the 22nd and will be weighed again. I had been about 20 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight almost 3 years ago but I lost that before my wedding. I was vain, I didn't want to feel fat in my wedding dress I am glad now that I lost and maintained keeping that weight off before I got pregnant, I think it has helped me feel pretty good so far!

 

I have no idea how much I gained by that point but I had gained 10 lbs by 19 weeks.

 

I hardly gained anything in the first trimester. I was 105 when I got pregnant and the doctor kept telling me I needed to gain but I was eating/drinking to thirst and the babies were growing great so she wasnt too concerned. Around 15 weeks I think I had gained 5 pounds (miraculously) and by the end of my pregnancy 37 weeks, I gained a total of 45 pounds. Just eat heatlhy, lots of protein and calcium and drink to thirst. If you read some books they will tell you the goal is to try and gain 24 pounds by 24 weeks and at least 1-2 pounds everyweek thereafter.

 

I lost 12 lbs. my first semester! Terrible morning/all-day sickness. I had no problem making it all up though and ended up gaining a total of 45 lbs.

 

I was very lucky! I only gained 24 pounds total the whole time. Now I am 4 weeks post delivery and have lost my 24 pounds plus 2 extra so far!!!

 

I lost 15 lbs in the first trimester with classic morning sickness. I ate nothing but bread, cheese, fruit and french fries the whole time either. It was all I could keep down. Now, I'm about 25 lbs over my pre-preggers weight and it's ALL in my belly. My arms, legs, face and back have slimmed down tremendously.

 

I didn't gain an ounce in the first trimester. Honestly, not even a tiny bit of weight. But I made up for it during the second trimester. My total weight gain ended up being 38 lbs and both of my boys were great weights - 6 lbs 2oz and 6 lbs 9 oz. Don't worry!

 

At my 16 week ob appointment I had actually lost weight. But today, I had my 20 week appoiintment and have gained heaps. Don't worry about it, your body will tell you when you need to eat!

 

Im 29 weeks and so far I gained 25 lbs.I started to gain weight slowly.. It all came in my 2nd trimester.... I'm pretty shocked!! I thought with being pregnant with twins I would gain a lot more weight and fast!!! Being pregant with my daughter, my first. I gained almost 70 lbs. 130-197--at time of delivery! I lost it quick though, cause I wanted to get pregnant again in a year in a half... which happened! and now here we are.. with TWINS!!! :banana:
