Height: 5' 6"

Week 21: 02/01: 145.6 (+0.4, +6.0) - My weight was as high as 146.4 this week so not worried again. Also sounds like my weeks are 2 days off based on my ultrasound so I shouldn't really be "weeking up" until Friday lol. But I like Wednesdays better for weigh ins.
You're doing great. Are you exercising any or logging? My goal is 25lb max but I usually hit 30-40 so we'll see haha. I'm trying to be healthier this time around, started my pregnancy weight higher than my other kiddos so really hoping to keep under 160lbs (started off 132ish)

@cocolo89 I was logging about once or twice a week to try to keep in check but after 2 weeks of 2lb gain I'm going to track every day this week to see how things equal out - I would like to try to figure out where I should be eating to gain 1 lb a week more evenly. For the most part I'm using natural hunger cues but I have noticed I've really been picking up the cookies and chips a lot more lately so I want to adjust that a bit. Oh and I do weigh myself everyday to watch the trend.
I have only been exercising once a week... which isn't enough. I'm really starting to stiffen up in my back and my abs are bothering me more now too.
I honestly think me sleeping more is having a HUGE positive effect on my weight gain (and natural hunger cues). I used to only get 5-6 hours a night and now I rarely get less than 8 (thanks to my first trimester and habit building).
I have been logging my intake since 2013 though so I think now that I've given myself permission to try eating more intuitively, it's actually working (it never has in the past though).
I also may have a little spreadsheet going to give me weekly goals haha.

Plus I run a group calorie tracking challenge that keeps me more mentally focused just through interaction with the ladies there.

Starting Weight Jan.2nd - 132.5
Height:5'5
4wks-129.9
5wks-128.5
6wks-128.5
7wks-131.4
Okay soooo I've been eating a butt load of carbs cause I have bad nausea and it's the only thing that makes me feel better. Went shopping last night and bought healthier options so hopefully that number goes down a little bit, 3lbs in 3 days is pretty ridiculous
Keep in mind that you get bloated from hormones and constipation.
I'm also in week 7 and up 4 lbs without eating more than the maintenance calories. I have terrible nausea too. Bananas, toast, chicken with rice are my best friends. All sweets make me really sick (thanks God)!!!! But I have trouble with water. Makes me so sick too. I try today the zero Powerade cause I was getting too thirsty.0 -

Agreed, I think it's normal to gain a bit right at the beginning. I was probably the weirdo and all my apps are telling me I'm not gaining enough which is freaking me out.0 -
I thought this was a pretty cool chart to show how much to expect to gain or watch yourself. Just enter your weight and it does calculations week by week.

I am just shy of 18 weeks and I am down 9lbs. I am still eating healthy choices and trying to gain the healthy amount of weight they said i should but between morning sickness that is just ending and feeling like eating enough healthy choises of food to hit enough calories to gain is WAY to much I am losing more at each appointment. Dr hasnt said anything yet but i worry about it being bad for baby. I gained 16 with first 30 with second and 23 with third...never lost during pregbancy before but never really made the effort for healthy choices before. Started trying to eat healthier afyer my 3rd and dont wanna go back but dont want to cause any risk to baby.0

I had a big weight gain at 7 weeks too, and had a minor freak out session, but realistically I hadn't been eating over maintenance, so I told myself to pull it together and continue on. Dropped back off a couple days later. I attested it to the crappy constipation I was suffering from last week, but who knows, too much hormones and whatever floating around in here right now, makes weight fluctuations even more confusing

I'd like to join the tread too
I am about 8 weeks, this is my first so it's a bit overwhelming to me! I started obease, so I would like to stick to around 15lbs gain if I can manage it. OB suggested 11-20.

Thus ends my week of tracking. It looks like I ate an average of 2624 calories a day to gain 1.2 lb. I will do another week of tracking I think. I want to find that 1 lb a week sweet spot. Or even to verify this week's results.
@raingirl21 did you get a chance to clarify the expected weight gain with your doctor?0 -

We are almost on the same boat hon. I started my first pregnancy being 172 and the day they weighted me for the drugs for the c-section I was 234.
This time I started at 182.5 and now week 8 I'm 185.5. I'm having lot's of nausea and vomiting this time plus extreme migraines. I definitely can't eat as much healthy I want. I can't keep down water or anything else besides toast, pasta, Doritos (LOL) and isotonic flavoured drinks. Maybe a banana every now and then. Since nausea kicked in I've stable weight but I'm not happy with my food choices.
I have to tell you. Just keep a general track of what you're eating and you'll be fine. Don't overreact. Also my friend that is more heavy than I am, had an easy and natural birth without complications. I had an emergency c section on the other hand. Weight is not always an indicator of how your pregnancy will go.
Good luck.0 -

I'm averaging 1 lb/week since 12 weeks. Which is right on track for where I want to be. Eating about 1700 cal/day total on average. It's fun being old. Lol. I maintain (not pregnant) at around 1400.0 -

This is super helpful - thanks! It's so hard to know if you're on track week by week when the doctor gives you a total weight gain "goal." Looks like I'm right on track for my beginning BMI - yay!0 -
This is my first I'm about to hit 9 weeks in a couple days and up 3 lbs.
I already feel the need to buy bigger pants. although the other day I used a hair tie on my pants, through the loop and around the button. Worked Great!!0 -
I'm actually quite worried, I am only 6 weeks but I have gained 6 llbs already. Previous to getting pregnant I was on cutting calories and when I found out I was pregnant I immediately went to maintenance. I excerise 5 times a week and its very rare I go over the maintenance calories if at all. I took my measurements this morning and the only increase I could see was that my breasts have grown by one inch, the rest are the same so I am hoping that its just water retention due to the extra calories??0

@sorbito84 it's very likely that the remaining weight that isn't in your breasts is fluid weight! Especially when coming from a deficit.1

week 9: 211.6
I am starting to struggle more, thankfully I seem to be mostly done with morning sickness, but most of last week I was just freaking hungry all the time. My favorite is when I eat a meal and literally 10 minutes later feel like I haven't eaten anything. I did ok by keeping lots of veggies around so I can snack without a huge calorie hit. Today seems to be going better, so hopefully that is a sign I will get some relief this week.1 -

Is anyone in their third trimester noticing a decrease in appetite? I haven't been gaining much during the last couple weeks but I'm not eating more than 1500 calories or so a day which is probably too low.0
