I’m 8 weeks pregnant with my first, and I was just curious about weight-gain in the first trimester. I’ve really not gained anything yet, maybe a pound or two, but it’s hard to say because people fluctuate that much in a day. So, I’m looking for any experiences! How much did you gain in the first trimester? Thanks!
I’m 6 weeks and eating like a horse – but experienced my first bout of morning sickness this morning so if anything I’ll be losing weight (yet to check scales)
Most woman actually lose weight in their first trimester due to morning sickness. I’m in my second trimester and lost 8lbs in my first. I wouldnt worry too much about it. Make sure that your eating every 2 to 3 hours and drink plenty of fluids. I’m a little over 28 weeks pregnant and still havent gained any weight. Good luck.
I lost 20 pounds during my first trimester because I had some awful morning sickness. It really is different for every woman and depends on if she gets sick or not.
Hmm I’m not to sure I remember. I know I weighed 158 and now I am 175 (27weeks along) though.
Maybe 5-10 lbs. I didn’t have morning sickness at all not even nausea. My whole pregnancy about 35lbs.
I gained 0 pounds not until 19 or 20 weeks I started gaining weight. Now I am on week 23 and I have gained 9lbs. I started on 111lbs now 120lbs. oh by the way i had a big appetite since the begining. very mild to none of morning sickness.
Stayed about the same weight I think. No harm in keeping an eye on your weight so you don’t feel like you have to lose a ton afterwards, although it is fun “eating for two”
Gained a stone and a half overall I think.
I gained 3lbs, but im having a nasty battle with nausea. Makes it almost impossible to eat, let alone gain. Hopefully i can get back on track soon.
I put on 2kg. You usually dont put on much weight in the first trimester, you can even lose weight especially if you have morning sickness and cant eat properly.
I lost around 5 to 10 lbs my first trimester, due to constant morning sickness.
I lost 10 pounds in the forst 8 weeks and then put on about 3 pounds in weeks 9 to 12. I’m 32 weeks pregnant now and have gained 23 pounds in total.
The standard that I have read is usually around 3 pounds in the first trimester. But it varies from person to person. I lost 6 pounds in my first 16 or so weeks this time around (am still throwing up, but not as often!), am now 34.5 weeks and still haven’t gained anything (had an ultrasound to confirm baby is growing, doctor is ok with it as long as I”m eating healthy!)
Try not to obsess too much about weight gain – just eat healthy!
I only gained 6 pounds by 16 weeks. However the ideal weight gain by the end of the first trimester is around 5 pounds.
I actually lost 4 pounds. I’m 20 weeks preg. I’ve gained 10 pounds BUT remember I lost 4 before.
nothing i lost 4kg and i didnt have morning sickness either… it was great
I didnt have bad morning sickness or anything but because of the changes in metabolism I actually lost 10 pounds. Im due on march 9th and i have only gained 22 pounds the whole time. Everyone is different though =] good luck!!!
each pregnancy is different, for my first , during the first trimester, i lost a little more than 5 kg, for my second, during the first trimester, i gained 2.5 kg…
but 8 weeks is a little too soon to be gaining weight.. most of the weight gain happens during the 2nd trimester… usually, but as i said, each pregnancy is different…
