It's stressful worrying about it!</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I'm glad to hear yours slowed down! I was completely shocked that I had put on a few pounds so early!</p> <p>@Smurfette: Yeah, I'm about to get back into my next size up pants, because good grief my current pants are tight! Good thing I saved my pants from my weight loss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloatingweight-gain-in-early-pregnancy#post-392583 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:10:20 +0000 DillonLion 392583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of bloating but no weight gain in the first tri. The third trimester was where things went downhill for me lol but that isn't necessarily the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloatingweight-gain-in-early-pregnancy#post-392578 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:08:41 +0000 PrincessBaby 392578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: I feel like I gained weight FAST in the first tri! I definitely immediately put on a few lbs and also dealt with crazy bloating! But it all ended up slowing down and becoming normal...I'd gained 26 lbs I think at my 36 week appt.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloatingweight-gain-in-early-pregnancy#post-392531 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:40:06 +0000 MamaMoose 392531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did bloat in the first tri but I never actually gained any weight in the first tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloatingweight-gain-in-early-pregnancy#post-392519 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:34:36 +0000 Smurfette 392519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bloating is awful during the 1st trimester. It does get better towards the end of it. My pants weren't fitting at all even though I only gained a couple pounds by 8 weeks. It was crazy. </p> <p>Best advice, don't be shy about getting a belly band or wearing maternity pants! Not worth being uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloatingweight-gain-in-early-pregnancy#post-392472 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:10:49 +0000 Silva 392472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! but by the time I got to my 12 week appt I had gained only 3 pounds. I had a hard time fitting into pants, but it was definitely just bloating. It got better around week 9 or 10 maybe. Sounds like you are being healthy, so try not to worry about it.<br /> I think the weight gain balances out over time. I stopped weighing myself completely, so I just get checked at the dr's office now. And I stress less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloatingweight-gain-in-early-pregnancy#post-392447 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 20:53:31 +0000 Bookish 392447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey bees!</p> <p>I'm going to be 6 weeks on Monday, and I'm starting to be a bit concerned about the weight I've gained in the last week. I've kept my activity level up, and added probably 300 cals of orange juice/milk a day (I was on a restricted-cal diet before, so now I'm having closer to 1800-1900 a day).</p> <p>Despite that, my pants are tight and I've gained almost 4 pounds! Did any of y'all have crazy bloating/water weight (which is what I assume this is) in the first trimester? Did it settle down and start to resemble normal weight gain? </p> <p>Thanks! :] </p>
