I found out last week that I was pregnant. I have PCOS and havent had natural periods for as long as I remember so no idea how far along I am.
I also have graves disease with hyperthyroidism that comes and goes.
This has meant my weight has been kept at a healthy BMI.
Last time I weight myself I was 10.5 stone.
I went for my initial appointment at the docs to refer me to the midwife and he weighed me and I over heard him say 74. Which I assume is kilograms. That works out at 11.2 stone which means I have potentially put on 9lbs since becoming pregnant!
I have a noticable bump, but because I cant give any LMP dates my doctor has currently said I am 6 or 7 weeks (unlikley) and its up to the midwifes to put me in for a dating scan if they think i need one.
What i am wondering / worried - is 9lbs too much? If I am only 7 weeks could this just all be water retention? I dont look fat other than my tummy. My legs, arms and face are all normal looking.
I am guessing from my record of symptoms that I became pregant 9 weeks ago, but would 9lbs still be too much for that?
