    Still hanging on to the same number.I am 11 weeks now,but guess looking at all you guys seems I might gain in the next 2 weeks:-(.
  • Down 2 lbs today, so that brings my total weight gain down to 3 lbs. I'm officially 13 weeks today :smile:

    Haven't gained any weight at 13 weeks waiting for the scale to jump up one day to show I'm growing also not showing very much can't wait for a bigger bump.

    With my first baby I suffered with severe hyperemesis until 5 months and lost 30lbs before beginning to gain again. The doctor decided he had seen enough weight loss and put me on PICC line IVs with dextrose water for weight gain and I ballooned. I gained back that 30lbs plus almost 30 more before delivery. There was no way I was going to let myself repeat that again!
    This time around, I only went through severe hyperemesis for just over a month before it trailed off into just plain nausea and is now beginning to fade a lot, hoping it will be totally gone very soon.
    So far, I have lost 14lbs but my last two home weighins have been gains! Looks like my weight is on its way back up and I am glad. However, I plan to try to limit the weight gain this time around. I hope to not gain more than 24lbs from here (10lbs over prepregnancy) but wpuld be okay with a little more. Doctor said, because I started overweight, 10-15lb gain would be good.
    I am afraid I am going to hit that awful 200 mark :( When I hit 200 before I decided I absolutely must do something about my weight and came to MFP. I hadn't lost much before getting pregnant so I am afraid it is probably a number I will see again.

    SW: 158
    CW: 151.6 (as of this morning)

    I'm not throwing up, so I'm not sure why I keep losing.

    Doctors didn't seem concerned though.

    SW: 184.4

    11w: 188.4
    14w3d: 188.6 (+4.2)

    still this is sitting well with me :) although I'm surprised it's not higher. I really have not been active at all (still too exhausted) and some days I eat much more than I should be! I am really hoping it doesn't catch up all at once!

    I am not yet showing a bump, but the bloating starts around early afternoon now, but isn't nearly as uncomfortable as it was in first trimester. I am certainly feeling better (less nauseous and not as tired - most days).

    Went in for a check up today and have lost weight again. :( I am actually jealous of all of you who are gaining. I need to start catching up :p

    Last 2 weeks I cannot stop eating everything in sight.
    Gained 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Will have to get back to a better eating plan.
    I"m not eating for 2 - I"m not eating for 2 - I'm not eating for 2. . . ..
  • @cleaneater that happened to me between 12 and 14 weeks. I ate like a beast and gained a couple pounds. I've been eating like crazy still for the past week (I'm at 15 weeks now) and I'm maintaining. Not sure there is actually any rhyme or reason to any of it. lol!

    @tiggerhammon you'll gain weight soon enough I'm sure! How far along are you now?

    I also have lost weight. A lot actually, but I am a big girl to start so I guess my body is just doing its thing. Now that I'm 13 weeks I'm getting more energy and don't feel like I need to nap all day.

    I just don't know what happened these past couple weeks... maybe Christmas and all the sodium in the gravy? Sure I've eaten a lot, but surely not that much???? :noway:

    I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I gained 4lbs since my last appointment which was a month ago. That is a total of 11lbs gained so far. Ugh. I feel like with the first trimester I gained like 5lbs right in the beginning and then not so much afterward. I am hoping that is how this trimester will go. Maybe these 4lbs came on really quickly, but I will only gain a few more, spread out over the next 11 weeks...??
  • @usernameMAMA - Yay! So happy for you to be gaining! :D

    @Lady_Lamb - That's how I'm feeling right now. Somewhere in the middle of the first trimester I gained a lot really rapidly and then there were weeks where I didn't gain a pound. So far I've gained 6 lbs in the past 3 weeks... I'm not supposed to see a gain that large until the third trimester I thought! Hoping things even out....
  • 4 weeks: 164.0
    16 weeks: 172.2 + 8.2 lbs

    Yikes! I still have 24 weeks to go....I was hoping to stay under 180, but that doesn't seem possible the way things are going. I'll settle for 185 :)

    14w3d: 188.6 (+4.2)
    17w1d: 191.5 (+7.1)

    I think I'm averaging about a pound a week right now - however with the holidays tossed in there, I'm not surprised! Even if I keep going at the rate of 1 pound per week, I'll end up +30lbs for this pregnancy ... which I will be okay with.
  • My midwife's scale had me at 180 lbs today!!!! I'm 175 at home though and it was early in the morning.... as if I didn't have low self confidence in the way I'm gaining weight already... lol!

    I didn't show until I was 6 months with my first. Now I am definitely showing :) I have no idea how to post pics on here without them being huge!

    Starting Weight was 180lbs
    Current Weight is 184lbs

    I'm only supposed to gain 25-30 lbs so I'm not sure if this is good or bad at 14 weeks. I've got a little bump now but nothing really noticeable to folks not looking for it. Of course it's enough that my pants don't fit anymore so I'm in my stretchy waistband skirts until I can go shopping this weekend.
  • I am showing. My boss revealed this week that she is an awkward belly feeler, so it's not just me who thinks it either. :noway:

    Most of my excess weight is carried in my stomach though so now I'm just not super concerned about sucking it in. Not sure what's baby and what's just "cushion". :wink:

    Prepregnancy: 157
    First 13 weeks: Got down to 151
    Last time I weighed in: 156.

    So technically i haven't gained anything yet, and I hadn't gone to the bathroom when I was last weighed in. (that makes a big difference with me during pregnancy since I get pretty backed up).

    I'm 16+3 today and i'm showing. I have been for awhile. I feel huge, but then I think of HOW much bigger i'm going to get!

    SW: 184.4

    11w: 188.4
    14w3d: 188.6 (+4.2)
    17w1d: 191.5 (+7.1)
    18w4d: 193.2 (+8.8)

    As I creep closer and closer to the 200 mark, I'm not going to lie, it scares me. While I understand this is all part of the process of growing a healthy baby, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with some days. I feel good about having gained only 9 lbs so far, and I hope I can manage to keep this under control and keep the weight gain to a healthy amount. My doctor said at one time she was okay with me gaining 30 lbs - I don't know how I feel about that!

    My highest weight ever, pre-pregnancy was 193lbs - so I'm feeling some guilt that I wasn't able to lose more weight before I got pregnant. I did however drop from 193 - 173 over the slow course of 2 years, but then proceeded to gain 10 back prior to learning I was pregnant.

    *sigh* for being just 5'3" this has been hard for me.
