Also, has anyone heard of gaining all their weight in the first trimester and not much thereafter?
YOU CAN GAIN UP TO 40 POUNDS
I gained very little, if nothing during my wife’s pregnancy. She gained most of the weight, While I seemed to do most of the late-night trips to the corner deli.
I gained 28 with my first…..I’m not finished with the second yet. I don’t think it would be possible to gain all your weight in the first trimester due to the fact that the baby still needs to grow.
yep i did! i am 34 weeks on friday, i have gained 41lbs total so far, most of it was in the first trimester. now i am gaining about 1/2lb every 3 weeks
My first, I gained about 56 pounds; my second, I gained about 60. I’m hoping with my third here, I won’t gain nearly that much!
never heard of that but anything is possible, you gain the most weight towards th eend because the baby alone is putting on close to 1/2 pound a week, your fluid and blood volumes increase.
with my first i gained between 14-16 pouns, with this one i am 37 weeks and i have put on 18-19
13 lbs at 35 weeks…
and no I have not heard of anyone not gaining weight in the 3rd trimester.
I gaind 35 lbs in total. I actually lost some weigh during the second trimester and ended up gainig it back in matter of weeks. After delivering I’m back to 125 lbs.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you gained lots of weigh during the first trimester. It has to do with water retention or a diet high in fat.
I believe one is supposed to gain 25% during the 1st trimester, 50% during the second and 25% during the last.
woah i gained a bunch during mine! but i dont regret 1 pound, lol. yeah alot of people gain alot at first and then none, just the baby the last few months! once i gained 8 pounds in a month and my doctor wasnt very happy, lol but after i had her i lost all of it generally fast, but she was like 10 pounds! dont sweat it. good luck!
I’m 26 weeks and have gained 27lbs, but I’m having twins.
i gained 33 pounds during the entire pregnancy. so it was fortunate for me, considering it was my first pregnancy 8 years ago.
I was a little over weight when i got preg. I think i was 138 and I am 5′3. I gained about a total of 25 lbs the whole preg..gained most of it my 2nd and 3rd tri. During the 3rd I felt like I was gaining 10lbs a day!
Good luck
I am 23 weeks now and i have gained about 25 pounds already!
I gained 8 lbs by 16 weeks. I am 30 weeks and have gained 23 lbs total. Most likely, you will gain the most weight from months 5-9
Recommended weight gain in pregnancy is 25-35 lbs
8 pounds by 20 weeks, then 1 lb per week until delivery
I lost weight in my first trimester. I am 39 weeks and have gained 25 pounds this pregnancy. But the previous two times I gained around 45 pounds. Just remember not skip meals, you and the baby need to nourishment.
i gained sooo much it is ridiculous, like 60-80 pounds and im still working it off!
I am 27w4d and I have gained 17 so far =/
I gained 13 in my first trimester, and 4 in my second, and hopefully not more than that in my third!!
I gained most of my weight in the second trimester and actually lost 5 lbs the last week of my pregnancy (with baby #2), but most likely due to an upper respiratory infection. Typically, weight gain does slow a little in the third trimester, particularly the last couple of weeks.
i didnt’ gain ANY in the first trimester cause i was so sick.. i’m 21 weeks now and have gained about 14 pounds… it came on fast and its still coming on fast no matter how well i eat or how much i walk. Everyone is different with pregnancy.
I haven’t heard about gaining just weight in the 1st trimester, but I’m only 8 weeks and have gained about 4 pounds..
I gained 70 pounds with my son!! I am now 22 weeks preg with my second son and I’ve already gained 25 pounds!! Geez!
I am 17 weeks and as of 2 weeks ago have only gained 2 pounds. I haven’t had any morning sickness but I can’t seem to get the weight on. I think this would be as frustrating as gaining all of it at once.
i gained 38 lbs with my son being born 3 weeks early. Pretty sure it would be more if i was to go to the end.
37 lbs. with the first, 36 1/2 with the second for me.

Usually a woman gains the most weight at the end of her pregnancy.

I gained a big ole` 60 pounds, but lost it after. I looked so funny cause I was tiny in the first place.
I gained 50 lbs during my entire pregnancy. During the last trimester, the average baby will gain a half pound per week… first trimester weight gain is usually attributed to excess water weight aka bloating.
i gained all of my weight in the second trimester. I gained 50 lbs.
