I'm at 9 weeks and I've gained 1.5 lb. Trying not to use Myfitnesspal as much to monitor my food. Trying to listen to my body within reason and keep that healthy stuff flowing in!

Anyone know about gaining muscle while pregnant? I've been lifting more and I wonder if some of the weight gain is muscle?

At 9 weeks i wouldnt increase weights at all. You will eventually need to lower your weights so as not to strain yourself. I was doing curls of 35lbs up until about 12 weeks but then started to lower it the bigger my belly got. Now is not the time to try to increase your performance.

24 weeks, 2 days: 14 pounds--ugh!

35 weeks and I am at 19 lbs...hoping not to gain too much more in the next 4 weeks (I have a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks).

-2 at 12 weeks. I need to focus on eating healthy, because once morning sickness goes away (hopefully), I don't want to gain a bajillion lbs!

So excited for you! Good luck thursday and make sure to let us all know how it goes!

I'm 5-6 weeks and no weight gain so far. I started at 152 and am considered overweight so I am trying not to gain more than 25lbs max..it's hard because I crave bad unhealthy food. I need to start tracking and making healthier choices!!

Update for me:
26 Weeks Pregnant and a gain of 20 lbs. I was hoping to gain about 25 lbs during the whole pregnancy, but looks like I'll be going over that which is fine.

If I gain 1 lb a wk until the end, I'll have gained 34 lbs. It's still within the 25-35 lbs recommended, but one of the docs at my maternity clinic gave me a hard time at my last apt saying I "have a ways to go still" and "why have I gained so much?"...Anyways...

Goog luck to all you mamas out there!

I'm 18 weeks and have gained about 9 pounds. I'm not exactly sure what I weighed when I got pregnant, so I'm estimating a bit! I gained over 40 pounds with my first baby, and a lot of it was right away. I'm trying to avoid gaining so much this time. I'm eating better and am going to start walking at the gym. I haven't worked out since I found out I was pregnant! :-/

I'm almost 20 weeks and up about 16lbs. I keep fluctuating up and down 2-3 pounds. My weight gain happened really fast so I'm hoping now that I'm cutting out some carbs it will slow down. I also haven't been exercising as much since my stationary bike has been broken and I didn't have enough energy to do anything else. Now that it's fixed I've been trying to get in an hour a day at least 4 times a week and doing some Zumba the other days. I gained 36 with my first so I would like to keep my total gain to under 30 this time around.

Week 13 and down 4 pounds. I think my body is preparing for the fact I gain enormous amounts in the third trimester.
