I've out about 6 back on in the last few but am still a little under my starting weight and I'm just about 18w. I was feeling pretty sick the first few months but am eating better again. My doctor wasn't overly concerned but I saw a dietician just to make sure I was doing all I could to stay healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-630044 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:05:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 630044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i lost weight in the first trimester with both pregnancies. i still ended up gaining over 45 pounds with my first though, so i wouldn't worry yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-630028 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:55:30 +0000 Honeybee 630028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's in the normal range to not gain weight or even to lose up to 5% of your pre-pregnancy weight in the first trimester. No worries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-629739 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:26:17 +0000 illumina 629739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: is there any way of preventing or minimising stretch marks? It does worry me a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628910 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:57:38 +0000 sera_87 628910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight during the first b/c of all the puking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628889 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:44:18 +0000 MrsRcCar 628889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight up until about 29 weeks. My doctor monitored my baby's growth and it was fine. The last couple weeks I gained about 10 pounds. DS was born at 8lbs 3 ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628878 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:37:53 +0000 Dandelion 628878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 11 pounds by the time I was 20 weeks. I'm 39 weeks, now and only am 10 pounds over my starting weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628871 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:33:21 +0000 Bao 628871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight and didn't gain until 21 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628862 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:27:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 628862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly gained anything in the first trimester, but my clothes stopped fitting pretty early because i was so bloated-- pretty much I just looked a little fatter, not pregnant. I had m/s but I had to eat carbs constantly, so I was worried I'd gain too much, but it was about 2 pounds I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628854 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:22:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 628854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I didn't gain until about 15 weeks either but it all shifted and I was in maternity clothes early. </p> <p>Just be careful about stretch marks. I put on my 30lbs really fast in those last few weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628468 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:56:04 +0000 tysonja 628468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didn't gain any in my first tri either, and then went on to gain 40 lbs :P! hahah..... i will admit that about 10 lbs of that was probably preventable and was a direct corrolation with kraft dinner and big pasta lunches :D healthy baby at the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628454 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:45:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 628454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I barely gained any weight during my first tri (maybe like two lbs? Almost nothing), and the dr said its very normal for women to not gain any or even lose a couple lbs in the beginning :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628447 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:42:43 +0000 illumina 628447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankyou all, this is most reassuring... Especially @oliviaoblivia &amp; @mamamoose not gaining until 20wks! I had 3wks of m/s, but haven't had a huge appetite, so I guess that's why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628423 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:30:16 +0000 MamaMoose 628423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 20 weeks I was down 4lbs from pre pregnancy. That was when it turned around and I started gaining. Doc said it was totally normal (especially since I had a lot of morning sickness). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628419 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:21:40 +0000 Smurfette 628419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just consider yourself lucky!! Totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628387 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:45:35 +0000 rawrasaur 628387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems to be pretty normal from what I've read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628386 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:44:43 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 628386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that it's fine to not gain any during the first tri. Most of the weight is supposed to be put on during the 2nd and 3rd from what I can gather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628385 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:43:27 +0000 dagret 628385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight in the first Tri too, and didn't put any on till about 18 weeks. I didn't have morning sickness, I just had no appetite. I'm sure you'll start gaining soon enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628384 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:43:05 +0000 autumnlove 628384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also lost weight in my first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628382 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:42:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 628382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had first trimester weight loss. I didn't gain until 20 weeks. As long as your doc isn't worried about it it's fine. The day will come when you'll be shocked by your week to week gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628380 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:36:35 +0000 Ra 628380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any morning sickness? I actually lost weight my first trimester. I was so incredibly nauseous that I barely ate. My doctor was never concerned with my weight during the first trimester though. It wasn't until the second tri that he started getting on me about gaining more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-first-trimester-weight-gain#post-628376 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:32:55 +0000 illumina 628376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this normal? I'm 12wks and decided to weigh myself yesterday, only to find I'm slightly less (only a couple of lbs) than whilst TTC. I don't really feel like I'm getting any sort of bump yet either. I've always carried a little extra belly fat which is now a little firmer, but that's all. </p> <p>I'm sure I'll feel better after my scan this week, but just wondered if anyone else didn't put weight on by this point? </p>
