How much did you gain in your first trimester?

I don't remember with my girls how much, but with my first I gained 60 total, my 2nd, 16.

I've gained 1 lb so far this time around and I'm 8 weeks along. Just curious to see if others have gained yet or gained more/less. =)

    I just hit the 2nd trimester a few days ago and so far I lost 2lb at the start and gained them back over the last few months so I'm at 12 weeks and no weight gain so far. I have my calories set at maintenance until later in the 2nd trimester when I'll up it to 200-300.

    Mine actually slowed at the end with my 2nd. I gained about 10 really fast with her, then over the last trimester about 6.

    My first trimester was the worst! I lost a pound from being so sick. I am currently at 20 weeks and have gained 1.5 pounds. Trying so hard not to gain super amounts of weight!

    14 weeks and 2lbs here. I'm on maintenance for my 2nd trimester on my doctor's recommendation.

    I don't suggest anyone TRY to lose weight while pregnant (sickness and aversions aside) - for those with that goal.

    I'm in my 16th week and have already gained about 5 pounds. I gained 25 total with my first child and would like to gain around the same with this one. It was pretty easy to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight in 3 months with just breastfeeding and walking. I stopped logging food after getting pregnant because I couldn't plan my meals ahead of time any more. I never knew when or what I'd feel like eating! If I start gaining too fast I may have to start logging again to keep it under control.

    I am 11 weeks and have gained 2 lbs. My Dr actually scolded me for not gaining enough! I've added 500 calories a day, which I know is double what is recommended. I think Dr's aren't so sure because when I showed my Dr that I've been tracking my food and eating very healthy he calmed down. But he was worried I'd limit myself if I tracked my food. Maybe I do, but really I try to get the vitamins I need since all the prenatals I've tried make my whole body itch, so no vitamins at this point.

    With our daughter I gained maybe two pound in the first four months, third trimester is when most of my pounds attacked, by 40 weeks I had gained a full 70 pounds. That was on top of eating healthy and daily exercise. I didn't even show until 8 months along.

    With number #2, it's 13 weeks tomorrow and I've put on 0 pounds. Granted, I'm on the borderline of "obese" for my height, still 20 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. I doubt I'll pull the full 70 again, Lord I hope not...those pounds were so difficult to come off !!

    I will add that I wasn't hungry much with Airlie until later on, when she went through major growth spurts, that's when I got hungry and ate more frequently. With #2 I haven't been hungry at all until I hit 12 weeks, so about one week ago. I'm expecting to see a pound jump on me very soon !

    First trimester I didn't gain more than a pound. I'm 21 weeks now and up about 12 lbs. It's sneaking on me fast lately. Gotta put those chocolates down. :frown:

    I lost 15 in my first trimester >.>
    Once my morning sickness started to wane, all I could eat was pizza, so I gained that back quickly.
    I think I was up 10 at 26 weeks.
    And now at 33w5d I'm up 18.
    So by the end of this I think I'll be up 24.

    But to be fair I started out at 200, so I have less to gain.

    I found out I was pregnant a week or so before thanksgiving and since that time I have put on 12 lbs, and havent officially weighed myself for 3 weeks!!! I am eating at or under maintenance and still gaining more than I should. I think that the body does what the body wants to do. I gained 55lbs with my first even though I exercised and watched what I ate right up to the day I delivered...trust me, you are not alone lol!!!!!
