Weight gain at 6 weeks pregnant...

[roundabout123]

Hi Guys

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. Pre pregnancy I weighed about 8 stone 12 and am 5.6. With my DD I gained a whopping 40lbs and I am determined not to let things get so out of hand this pregnancy. A little concerned though as I have already gained 3lbs in 6 weeks and if anything I have been more careful than usual and stuck to healthy and nutritious food plus daily exercise. Could this just be down to water retention? Did anyone else experience this?

I am normally around 8-10 ish (well between 8stone 7-10lbs)

I am now at 13 weeks and weigh 9.4!
I think in the earlier days I did put on a bit which was clearly bloat/water retention. Bigger boobs etc...

I would just carry on as you are eating as healthy as you can, which is hard!! I have a huge appetite !

I'm 8 weeks and had put on 4 pound by 6 weeks - I havent dared weigh myself since !

Definitely all normal though- probably water and bloating.

Congratulations!

Water retention. Unless you've eaten like a horse you don't just magically put on weight 😀
