Hello Ladies!

I am looking for a little advice, and hopefully comfort :smile:

I have been incredibly nauseous throughout my first trimester. The only thing that had kept me functional is a continuous flow of carbs!

I finally was courageous enough to step on the scale this week and I have already gained 10 lbs at 13 weeks!!

Has this happened to anyone else?
Am I doomed to gain a ridiculous amount of weight?

    I gained a lot my first trimester. I'm now 19 weeks & 10-11lb gain. I gained a lot in my first trimester with baby #1 & gained 34lbs in total. The hunger for carbs subsided more in the second trimester. Hang in there! I was also so exhausted that I couldn't workout. Now I'm working out 2-3X week.

    I also gained approximately 10 pounds my first trimester. I went from traning for and running a half marathon to being complete sedentary due to extreme nausea and fatigue from week 6 of pregnancy until week 12-13. I've been able to maintain that 10 pound weight gain for the past 9 weeks after getting back into an exercise routine. I do need to clean up my eating a bit. I've been indulging in too many carbs. Getting back into logging my calories after being away from MFP for the past 4-5 months.
