Hi all the pregnant ladies.

I am now 15wks pregnant, and it feels like I am already popping out of my clothes! I am 1.74m (5'8") and starting weight was 70 kg (155 lb). my total gain so far is 2kg. But I'm retaining water like you can't believe! My legs, hips, feet are so puffy! So was just wondering if any of you have the same or how your weight gain is going?

All the best!

    At 15 weeks I had gained 4 lbs. Now, at 22 + weeks I've gained 10 lbs. I switched to maternity pants at 20 weeks b/c I was afraid I was stretching out my regular jeans too much- I want to be able to wear them again this Fall! Thankfully, I think most of my weight is in my belly this time around. I'm having a boy and I know they say it doesn't make a difference, but when I was pregnant with my daughter I gained weight EVERYWHERE! Will you find out the gender of your baby?

    I went for a fetal assessment the other day and the doc said he's pretty sure its a girl. We don't care much about the gende, as long as baby is healthy!

    That sounds really good on the weight gain front, I hope I am as lucky as you are! I'm weighing in tomorrow, hope to be on par with my +0.5 kg that I should have gained, and nothing over that!

    And yes, I've also said the second my clothes get too tight, I'll switch over to maternity wear, I'll need them again in no time! :-)

    I was still down a few pounds from my starting weight at 15 weeks, but was already in maternity clothes. I think my hips spread a lot quicker the second time around! I have to drink a lot of water to stop the water retention.

    15 weeks today and down 7.5 pounds. I am still obese so hopefully it's fine. I eat when I am hungry and am not trying to lose, just haven't quite found the magic maintenance number yet.

    I do feel some swelling in my legs already, and the boobs are bigger. I am not sure about the belly, my pants aren't tight yet but they were quite loose from the 50 pounds I lost.

    I'm up 3 pounds at 15 weeks but I'm overweight. I lost 33 pounds using MFP then became pregnant before I could lose the other 30 pounds extra that I'm carrying . My husband and I are very happy for this baby but I wish I had lost the rest of the weight first. This is our second so I've been in maternity pants since 9 weeks or so and my husband swears I look like I'm losing weight and just gaining in my belly. I'm the size now that I was at 20+ weeks with my first.

    At 15 weeks, I hadn't gained anything yet. I was overweight when I got pregnant though. I started gaining weight at about 20 weeks.
