Weight gain in 1st trimester

HI
I'm currently 10 weeks and 2 days. So far I have gained 4.1Kg. Last time I spoke to my dr he said you normally gain between 2-3kg.
I'm just a bit worried of gaining too much weight. Has anyone else gained this much or more at this stage?

I think it depends on if you are getting bloating and nausea. I have gained 3kg so far (and counting!!) but I am sooo bloated, have had nausea that only responds to eating and have been ordered not to exercise due to some bleeding. Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different too.

Yep i did. I think it all depends on how much weight you need to put on iykwim. With my 1st i started off at 58kg but i am 5"9 so that was a bit on the too skinny side. By 12 weeks i was up to 64kg so 6kg :doh: I put on 18kg throughout the whole pg and ppl still said i didnt look pg from the back. With no 2 i still had a little extra weight from my 1st pg and started off at 69kg and didnt put anything on til about 20wks. In total i put on 13 in that pg. Just remember everyone is different and every pg is diff too. You never know you might not put anything on in your 2nd tri. As long as you are eating a well balanced diet i wouldnt stress- let your body do it's thing.
Hoody

dont worry thats a fine weight gain!. all together ive put on about 10 kgs so far. and ive done everything right. Every body is different in pregnancy so dont let statistics get u down.

Thanks guys.
It does make me feel a bit better. I have been exercising at "contours gym"
(for women) and have been eating pretty healthy. Just dont end up like an elephant in the end with heaps of weight to try to lose after the birth IYKWIM
Its good to know there are ppl similar to me. I just feel like all the pregnanty women I see just look slim with a bump infront rather than looking fat all over :lol:
Im about 5ft 7inch and weigh 74.7kg atm.
Guess I shouldnt worry about my weight so much until after the little one is born. Since for the time being I cant do much about it.

hi there
I put on 14kg in the first 2 trimesters. Most of it was in the 1st one.. andabout 1 kg in third trimester with DD... so i wouldnt worry.

I lost it all plus some within 6 months

I am glad to hear of this topic also. Except I am a little concerned that in my first trimester I hadn't put on any weight or lost weight either. The week before last I weighed myself and it said I had put on about 500grams aprox. Then this morning it says I have lost 1.5 kg. Its an old set of scales so there is a chance it is wrong. So tomorrow night I am going to get myself a nice new digital scale and see what it says. I have not been sick really and although I do eat 3 meals a day with snacks in between, I am just not as hungry as I expected I would be. I get full faster and if I eat too much I feel so sick. I am just worried that if I haven't put any weight on yet then maybe baby has stopped growing or something is wrong with him/her. But I still get stretching cramps in lower abdo almost every day and boobs are either sore or itchy so things seem to still be happening. Although the rash that I had on my tummy and boobs that has something to do with hormones has gone. I hope that is not a bad sign either. I am hoping that Dr will be able to listen to baby heart beat next week when I see him.

With both of my pregnancies I put on the bulk of my weight in the first trimester, mainly because I ate quite a lot to ease my m/s. I had put on 6-7kgs by the time I hit 13 weeks both times, and at almost 30 weeks now am sitting on 10kgs. I put on a total of 15kgs with Izzy and am aiming for that again this time around. I am 5"1' and my starting pre-pg weight both times was 65kgs. As long as you are doing some sort of exercise regularly - even just walking, plus eating well I wouldn't worry too much. :)

Unless your puting on 50kg over ur preg i wouldnt be worried. I put on 23kg with DD#1 over the whole pregnancy (was prob bout 5kg in the first tri) and she just turned out to be a big healthy baby. (8pound 12.5oz)
Good luck and dont stress!

hi

put on about 2 kgs so far, but going to watch the sweet stuff this pregnancy. Was addicted to flapjacks last time, and it took me ages to lose the excess 7 kgs after she was born.

I'm just under 9 weeks and have put on 1.5kgs. My previous pregnancies I didn't put on much in the first trimesters but over 2 and 3 I gained 25kgs each. It was hard work losing it so I'm going to be extra careful this time around.
Don't feel too frightened about your appetite. As long as you are eating 3 meals a day baby will take the nutrients first and then you'll get the rest. If you start to feel out of it, dizzy or faint and you think it is because you're deficient in something just ask the doctor to take your bloods but baby will always get priority with what you put in your mouth. You'll find (hopefully) in second trimester that your intake will adjust to support growing baby. remember - you are not eating the quantity for two, just the quality for two. So you shouldn't be eating much more, just eating healthy so you get enough nutrients for both of you. A lot of women I know actually lose weight during first trimester and the baby grows perfectly.

Puppies - I lost a few kg's with DD1 & then lost about 10 kgs with DD2 in the first trimester. Both times I was on the under weight side anyway. I put on 11kgs all up by the end with DD1 & 4 kg's from start weight with DD2, but I also put back on the 10kgs I lost.
Baby is taking everything out of you. No matter what, baby will take it's nutrients first, then lets us have what ever is left over.
Your bubs is fine, don't stress.
With DD2 I was so sick I pretty much ate nothing for 4 months. What I did eat didn't stay down for very long & she was my biggest baby at 8lb 9oz.
