I am in about the same boat at kelliers. I gained between 2 and 3 lbs. by the end of the first trimester. I will be 17 weeks on Wednesday and have gained a total of 7 lbs. One of my friends lost about 10 lbs in her first trimester due to food aversion and nausea. She ended up going on medicine for it. Another lost weight because she lived on fast food and completely cut it out when she got pregnant so she was eating much healthier and lost some weight. Everyone is different. If your midwife thinks there is a problem, she will address it at your next appointment.

About 2 lbs-I was hyperstimulated and I never got back down after I recovered to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm 16+3 and I've gained about 6 so far.

I gained a total of 4 pounds throughout the whole first trimester. I didn't lose any weight at all, but I didn't have any morning sickness, either. I'd say you're 100% fine, so sit back and try to relax through your 2nd trimester ... the 3rd will be here before you know it!

I was 120 pre-pregnancy and didnt gain any weight till about 16 weeks. I gained a total of 26 pounds and now am 3 months post-pardom and weigh between 125-127 now. I dont need to be back at 120 since I know my body is different now and my boobs are bigger. I just would like to tone my tummy and get to 123 ish. lol

With my first baby, when i was 24, i didn't gain anything til about 5 months in, and then i gained 30 pounds! With the second, i gained pretty steadily right from the beginning, also gaining 30 pounds by the end. This time, i'm about 13 1/2 weeks in, and so far i've lost a couple pounds. But im also heavier than i was at the start of either of my other two pregnancies, so i'm not too worried about it. I still have plenty left! Alot of women lose a little weight in the beginning due to morning sickness or food aversions. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Your body will do what it needs to do for the baby.
