Weight gain first trimester

[Conundrum12345]

I just stepped on the scales and I've put on 4kg in the past month :(

My diet has gone down the toilet, when I can eat its just carbs and lots of them. I get so hungry and am constipated and bloated

I don't want to have GD. Can anyone offer advice?

I'm 8.5 weeks along. Worried how big I'll get if this continues.

Feels like the only thing I can eat is beige carbs

Just do what you can to get through to 12-16 weeks and once you are feeling better you can work in eating healthier! Try not to put too much pressure in yourself

Thanks. I suppose I'm just finding it a difficult adjustment, eating so healthy and exercising before falling pregnant

I ate like a pig in the first trimester with both of my pregnancies. All I wanted always carbs and stodge. It died down by the second trimester in this pregnancy (it didn't at all in my first though).

Don't worry how much you gain during pregnancy as long as you lose it at the end. Problems arise with pregnancy weight gain when you have multiple babies, gain 4 stone each time and don't lose it.

It really doesn’t matter honestly! Just enjoy it, eat what you can and don’t worry about it

Thanks all. Your comments have made me feel so much better.

I never knew the first trimester would be this tough!

I started worrying about my weight, I've never had an issue with weight before or in my first pregnancy but this time I gained a stone over lockdown which contributed to me being paranoid about weight gain In this pregnancy

I restricted myself and ate healthily and ended up in hospital after fainting in Costco and I had ketones.

Now I eat what I want when I want and that involves all the carbs.

I will be heavier after this pregnancy but I will lose it
