With DS, I didn't really keep track by trimester, once I got my bfp, I started packin on the pounds. Up to 40lbs at one point. Down to 38 just before labor.
I think I'm up 4 lbs., the bulk of which I gained in the last week or so and I'm 14.5 weeks.

I always lose a little weight in my first and then start gaining later. Gained 33 for my first and around 15 for my second...not sure of the breakdown between 2nd and 3rd!

I was up about 7 after the first tri.
I'll be up about 25 lbs at the end of my second tri.
TBD when I deliver in May. I'm 5'11", so hoping to keep it to around 40-45
With E, i gained a lot more. I carried an extra 10 around for awhile, and had dimpled swelling starting at 5 months!!! None of that yet (almost 7)! PS it all came off. There's hope for those who gained a lot

I didn't keep track but I know I gained the most weight in the second and third trimesters. I gained around 5-7 during the first tri each time.

Both times zero in the first tri. I domt remember with DD1 but I ended up gaining a little over 40 pounds...close to 50 I think. I just ended my second tri with DD2 and I'm up about 15 pounds.

I gained about 30 for each pregnancy. It seemed evenly distributed, except I didn't gain much at the end of either pregnancy. My last 4 appointments I weighed the same.
pear / 1503 posts
First tri: 0 lbs (this had me worried, but I guess it's somewhat normal)
Second tri: ~12-15 lbs
Third tri: who knows? I'm at 31 weeks now, and have gained a total of 15 lbs, with only 9 weeks to go.

First tri - I gained 1.
I weigh myself weekly, and at 16 weeks I gained 5 lbs...in a week. Who does that????
So I'm up 6 total....which I know is still low, but I'm still in shock over this week's gain.
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
I didn't track with DD1....
But this pregnancy, I gained 4lbs in first tri.
I just hit third tri and am up 22 lbs.
So 18 lbs in second tri.
Sucks! But I'm basically all belly and I started eating REALLY healthy (paleo) and I'm still gaining a lb a week, so I decided that it is what it is, and I'm not beating myself up if I gain 35 lbs instead of 30. She obviously needs it, and as long as I'm not spreading all over, I'm cool with it.

I lost a bunch in my first and first half of second and then started gaining second and third. Net gain was 24 lbs, but if you consider my ten lb weight loss, I technically gained 34.
Regardless I was mildly peeved at ten lbs down when people were saying "you look really good", when it was the result of hyper emesis and I felt awful!
cantaloupe / 6634 posts
I am only 18 weeks but I have no idea what I weighed before or how much I have gained. I kind of like being in the dark.
cantaloupe / 6692 posts
I don't rememer any weight gain specifics except that I was up 16 pounds at 18 weeks.
Then up 70 pounds by 40 weeks. I don't know what the f*ck happened.

I have not been keeping track per trimester, but I'm 22 weeks now and up 8 pounds total. I am writing it on the calendar now to keep better track.

It's reassuring to see that other people gained nothing (or even lost weight!) in the first trimester. I'm at 12 weeks now and haven't gained any weight, even though I've had to go up a bra size and shoe size.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
Pretty much the same both pregnancies and I have birth at 38 and change with both and both pregnancies worked out until 3rd tri - stopped Bc of contractions.
4, 16, 10 with first (total 30)
3, 16, 11 with second (total 30)

I gained 4 pounds in the first trimester and at 20 weeks I'm up 7 pounds total.

I was net zero in my first trimester. Gained 12 in second. I was up 23 total at my 33ish week appt. I'm 5'4" and was on the heavier side of a normal BMI. 35 weeks today and feeling good.

Up to 18 weeks I lost (severe morning sickness). Then I gained steadily until the end, where I was 35 pounds above pre-pregnancy weight.
nectarine / 2521 posts
I gained 32 lbs. overall during pregnancy:
1st trimester: 6 lbs.
2nd trimester: 16 lbs. (prompting one doctor to tell me to "slow down." Sure lady, sure.
3rd trimester: 10 lbs.

I lost 5 pounds in the first tri, then made it all up and then some in the 2nd and 3rd tri, lol. I gained 45 pounds total by the end, but dropped 20 pounds of fluid right after delivery. I was really swollen (summer baby)
pomelo / 5791 posts
I'm 5'9 if it makes any difference.
I gained 40+ with DS1, but it was pretty steady the whole time.
So far with DS2, I was sick the first tri and fluctuated between gaining 2 pounds and losing 3. Lol So...I kinda broke even.
Now at 14.5 weeks, I'm up about 3-4 pounds.

First tri -8
Was back a pre pregnancy weight by 28w.
Now at 37w I am +16 pounds from where I started.
I'd love to keep it at +20 ish total... but I am letting my body do what it needs to do.
There were times when i felt like i needed to actively try to eat more to get my appetite back from the first tri.
persimmon / 1386 posts
With my first pregnancy I lost 15lbs in the first trimester, gained 5 back in the second, and 10 more in the third for a net 0 weight gain.
This time I was down another 12lbs or so in the first trimester and now at 32 weeks I have gained 10 of those lbs back. So I will likely be up a couple pounds by the end of this pregnancy.
I don't know what it is about pregnancy, but my body doesn't like to gain weight (opposite problem I normally have). But my midwives are fine with it.
honeydew / 7295 posts
I'm looking to clock in at about 40 total. I gained 8 first tri, 12 second and so far 10 this tri with 6 weeks left. I am good with these numbers because I gained 55-60 with our son. Sometimes I wonder if that wasn't a lot of water weight though from a summer pregnancy because I lost 20 after delivery immediately and my son was only 8 pounds 7 oz
cantaloupe / 6171 posts
I lost about 9 in the first 20 weeks, and then was up about 15 in the end
eggplant / 11287 posts
I'm up 7 lbs at 15.5 weeks. I'm guessing I'll stay around 25 like I did with my last pregnancies, but who knows. I've been eating ALL THE FOODZ.

First Tri: 0 lbs
I've got my appetite back so we'll see how the second and third go!
honeydew / 7622 posts
@LindsayInNY: now I can update. 0 in 1st, 12 in 2nd, 23 in 3rd. 35 lbs total, lost it by the time she turned 1 month.
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
Last time I gained 5lb in the first tri and 30 in the second.
This time I am 15 weeks and so far have lost 5 lbs. my belly is way bigger than it was this time last pregnancy so it doesn't make much sense! But I have no appetite and am busy chasing after dd

Curious to read. I gained 0 in the first tri. Gained 1 lb at 14 weeks.
Now, up 11-12 lbs at 20 weeks. So... I am still ok I think but if I keep gaining 2 lbs a week the rest of the time, could be a problem!! LOL
blogger / honeydew / 7081 posts
I lost 10lbs first tri with K, gained about 15 second tri, and another 15 or so third tri. Net gain was 22 lbs when all was said and done.
This time, I'm up 5 lbs at 16 weeks.
