I had GD so my weight gain slowed down a lot near the end once I was cutting down on sweets/walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-756086 Thu, 02 May 2013 08:54:34 +0000 Turd Ferguson 756086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 13 weeks tomorrow and have probably put on about 10 pounds so far. It's a little different for me, though, as prior to finding out I was pregnant, I really didn't eat all day--I'd have one small meal at dinner, and...that was it (I know, bad, bad, bad...but I was skinny, so whatever ;). Once I got my BFP however, I obviously ate...and ate a lot. Going from 600 calories once a day, to eating actual full meals multiple times a day was definitely a shock to my metabolism, so I think a good chunk of the weight actually came from that.</p> <p>I also had ZERO morning sickness of any kind/no food aversions at all thus far, and was/am starving 24/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-756074 Thu, 02 May 2013 08:50:13 +0000 avivoca 756074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 18 weeks, and as of my last appointment, I was up 8 pounds from pre-preg. I'm kind of dreading to see what the scale reads at my next appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-756070 Thu, 02 May 2013 08:47:22 +0000 JoJoGirl 756070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st tri: ~5 lbs<br /> 2nd tri: ~ 14 lbs</p> <p>Now at 37 weeks I'm up around 27 lbs.. was hoping to keep it under 30 but might not happen since I am growing EXPONENTIALLY each week. I worked out almost daily until, well, today really. My diet hasn't been great but not terrible either. I do feel like I did all I can so my original 'goal' of 25 lbs was just likely not going to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-756061 Thu, 02 May 2013 08:44:04 +0000 Chillybear 756061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st tri: gained 4 lbs<br /> 2nd tri: gained 4 lbs so far (i'm 17 weeks)</p> <p>hoping to keep it under 30 total </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-755867 Thu, 02 May 2013 06:41:15 +0000 MrsTiz 755867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st trimester I lost 1.5/2 lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-755863 Thu, 02 May 2013 06:36:49 +0000 tlcbaby 755863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pretty consistently gained a pound a week through my entire pregnancy - I am hoping not to go too far over 40lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-755853 Thu, 02 May 2013 06:20:01 +0000 lamariniere 755853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st trimester I lost 4-5lbs.<br /> After that I gained literally 1lb per week and delivered at 39 weeks.

Even though I haven't gained much so far, I feel a lot more dumpy and I don't feel preggers cute, like I felt last time. Maybe all my muscles were/are all loose and nonexistent this time, plus the extra 10lbs? :) oh well! </p> <p>I'm aiming to stay under 30, so I don't exceed my highest weight from last time:) whatever happens happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-755740 Wed, 01 May 2013 23:08:49 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 755740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First tri: -4<br /> 2nd tri: +19<br /> 3rd tri: +15 (I went to 40w3d)</p> <p>So, 30 total up from my original weight. Lost 22lbs by 6w Pp and the rest by about 9w-12w (I fluctuated; it was during holidays). </p> <p>I could have done much better but chose to be lazy and indulgent. I was bad and didn't sharpen up until I was late in my 3rd tri. Next time, I will make healthy decisions and workout from day 1. I could totally keep it at 20-25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-586980 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:08:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 586980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st: 0 lbs (I couldn't stomach much)<br /> 2nd: 20 lbs<br /> 3rd: 8 lbs so far (I only have a few days left)</p> <p>I'll probably end up gaining about 30 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-586918 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:52:38 +0000 Adira 586918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st: 2.6 lbs<br /> 2nd: 19.2 lbs<br /> 3rd: 15.2 lbs and counting</p> <p>As of 38 weeks, I'm up 37 lbs.

BUT, I think that was artificial because I had been weighed right at the midwife right before I got pregnant and it was the most I'd ever weighed in, I had just eaten lunch, and may have had my shoes on. I took off my shoes for the rest, so it's probably more like 7 or 8 now? As long as the midwife says it's ok I'm not worrying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-by-trimester#post-586873 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:45:06 +0000 LazyLightning 586873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: so many chips and crackers.
