First trimester weight gain

Well...I am 13 weeks and up 6 lbs.  I have had bouts of nausea, but no vomiting.  It seemed like I gained the initial 4 or 5 lbs early on, which I think was mostly  the increase in blood volume.  Around week 11, I had no appetite and really couldn't eat anthing...so I lost like 3 lbs.  Week 12 got better and then I actually got my appetite back plus some and have gained a total of 6 lbs. 

I am also worried about gaining too much excess weight.  I am just going to focus on eating a healthy diet and incorporating some exercise.

Take care!

Thanks, ladies. This is my 4th child. In my previous pregnancies, I never gained any weight until the last part of the second and then in the third trimesters. The most I'd ever gained was 14 lbs and I always lost it right away. However, this 37 year old body is much different than my 20 something year old body and I'm worried.

I do have to say that things are very different with this pregnancy that could be adding some pounds. I'm more bloated, and my breasts are huge and ultra sore. I usually am a C cup. I've already had to buy a D cup and now that's getting tight. That's never happened to me before either.

I did not gain at the start, i lost. I had very bad GERD and was on medications for it. I puked daily until i was 5-6 months pregnant. It was awful!  That being said i gained 21 pounds total. Each person and pregnancy is different and i know it is very hard NOT to compare yourself to others.

Good luck to you!!

I am 10 1/2 weeks and haven't gained any yet.   I have gone between 141-144 lbs for the past month because I've felt so nauseated and sick.   I have had to wear maternity pants for a little bit  now because my belly (around my belly button) has been poking out for about 2 weeks now (this is my 3rd child and pregnancy).  

Just wait until the nausea hits though girl, it didn't hit me till about 8 weeks and then you will either lose or not gain any.   Before it hit, I had gained a few pounds because I was hungrier and eating more.  But once it hit, I lost like 3-4 pounds and it's been going up and down since then.  And if you're really lucky, you won't get the nausea/morning sickness at all or barely at all!!
