Rapid weight gain in first 3 months

[xmelx]

Hi all, I know im pregnant and bound to gain a fair few pounds but when i was 5 weeks I weighed by self and I was 10 stone today I have weighed myself at 11 weeks and to my horror I have put on a stone, I have been quite ill with sickness and have def not over eaten has anyone else put this much weight on this quick...

Yep, with all 3 pregnancies. SHocking amount of weight at first, so that by the time I'm weighed at my booking apt at 8 wks I've been about half a stone heavier than I thought I would be, and about a stone more than pre-preg. But then I don't gain as much in the 2nd trimester. And a lot of it is fluids - you have about a third more blood in you when you're pregnant.

I've put on a pound a week, give or take, since conception (12 weeks now). I am really, really hoping that I am one of those people who puts on most weight in the first trimester. I've been eating a bit too much, but not so much I'd expect to gain like this... But I'm trying not to worry about it, what will be will be, etc!

Thanks for responses , when I had little boy I had a crazy about fluid retention I was huge maybe this is a boy to and Ill be the same.

I'm the same - gained 6lbs in 7 weeks - shocking, and really depressing

Just like Pidgin, I've put on a pound a week, pretty much since conception. I was just the same in my last pg too, it is quite depressing but I try not to feel too bad about it.

I didn't binge eat or anything, but the sickness has been awful and stodgy foods like bread and pasta have been all I can eat so I think thats been mainly the problem.

I'll be joining Slimming World again after this baby and in the mean time I look at baby #1 and remind myself that I made that so maybe I should give my body a break!
