When did you start gaining?

I've lost 15 lbs since getting pregnant and have hung out within a pound or two of that so far. I'm 15+2, have a little bump, but the scale is more or less static and I'm just curious when y'all noticed that start to change. I'm not complaining or anything, but it seems kinda weird!

I was maybe 130lbs before baby. I didn’t get a bump until 21-22 weeks and got up to almost 165lbs (all belly) at birth. Now two years later, I’m struggling to hold onto 120lbs. Lol

I was sick pretty much my whole pregnancy so I didn’t gain weight. I dropped 40 pounds and maintained it during pregnancy. My second pregnancy I wasn’t as sick but it was still close to my 3rd trimester before I put weight on. I gained 15 pounds.

I'm berly gaining weight I lost 9 pounds with this pregnancy but just now at 16 weeks I am starting to see myself gaining some weight

Everyone is different 👀 lol I actually started gaining weight only in my third trimester and doctor didn’t seem worried, she just ordered an extra growth scan to make sure baby was growing well. The first 7.5 to 8 months of pregnancy, I was under my pre-pregnancy weight by like 8 lbs. Now at the end, I seem to be gaining 2 lbs a week. My total weight gain right now at 38+ weeks is like a pound, but baby’s healthy.

Actually didn't notice a diffrence during pregnancy with my weight aside from the baby bump I was 7st 6pounds at my 6 week appointmwnt so I was shocked when I was weighed at my 39 week appointment to find I weighed 9st 5pounds

3 years ago

My 3rd trimester.. I put on weight in the 1st trimester but it was in lockdown so I assumed it was just me gaining weight from not doing anything, I didn't know I was pregnant in my first trimester.. I lost weight in my second.. I think because I went back to work in a new job 12 hour shifts. My third trimester is where I've been packing on the pounds 🙃

Girl same! I mean I found out at 10 weeks but we almost let it get that far 😹 I thought the bloating and exhaustion and vomiting was nature flipping me off for starting my exercise plan again!!

I didn’t really start to look pregnant until my 2nd trimester....I’m at 38+4 and I’ve only gained 21lbs my whole pregnancy

3 years ago

I put on about a stone overall & most of that was in the last 6w or so. I noticed a difference weight wise from around 5m i think. But i was bigger (uk14-16) before so may not have noticed as soon as a slimmer person.

3 years ago

I started gaining very slightly at 10 weeks and had zero sickness. I’m now 33 weeks and have put on just over a stone in total so far x

3 years ago

It’s normal to lose weight at first. I on the other hand started gaining immediately. I had no morning sickness. Actually I had this thing where I would get nauseous if I didn’t eat. I gained 65lbs and my OB team wasn’t worried- had a completely healthy pregnancy. I’ve thankfully lost it all but it scares me to get pregnant again because I gained so much weight. My stretch marks are no joke

3 years ago

I started gaining at about 12 weeks and have gained close to 20lbs now at almost 26 weeks. My midwife is happy with my gain.

I’m 20 weeks and still not gaining. I’ve actually lost 11 pounds 🥲 I was overweight initially and my doctor hasn’t said anything so I guess he isn’t worried? Wondering when I’ll start gaining as well. Had horrible HG the first few months and couldn’t keep food down.

It does. I went through such a depression. I knew I wanted this baby over anything else though so I held on and kept saying it’ll end soon. I feel better now. Hope it’s gone for good lol

I didn’t really start gaining noticeable weight until my third trimester. I gained 25 pounds during my whole pregnancy. The last 15 was in the last few months I’d say.

I lost weight in my first trimester due to feeling sick all the time and gained back a few pounds while in my second trimester.

Definitely lost weight in the first trimester & started noticing a ‘bump’ from 20 weeks xx

3 years ago

I lost 14 pounds my first trimester, and then weight gain was really slow after that. Probably didn’t see anything significant until around 20 weeks when I started to really show. I ended up gaining less than 20 pounds total.

I started noticing changes around 12 weeks but now I am 18 weeks almost 19 and I feel like my belly grew over night I can’t stop looking at it and asking my bf do I look pregnant yet🤣 (he says yes)

I lost weight initially and then didn’t start gaining until about 20 weeks even though I’m having twins, I’m now 33 weeks and I’ve only put on about 1st 10lbs and it’s definitely all babies!! X

3 years ago

It took me quite a while to have any sort of noticeable bump and weight gain. Even a little passed 20 weeks I had only gained maybe 5 pounds. I started quite rapidly gaining at the end of the second trimester and now I think I’m up 40 total at 37 weeks + 4 days

3 years ago

It’s normal to be honest I was loosing weight in the first even towards the second trimester but once I hit atleast 24 weeks I had the perfect amount of weight on me you can also be loosing weight because if you got any morning sickness or use the bathroom a lot or even if you move around all the time like walking a lot or if you are always on your feet but I wouldn’t be to worried about it as long as you go to your appointment and everything is fine with the baby everything is good

I've been struggling with food since I've been pregnant. Even bread kind of grosses me out sometimes. I lost 10 pounds in the 1st trimester and now I'm on my 18th week and have only gained 2 pounds. Doctor said it was ok, so I'm trying not to worry.

I started gaining weight by around 12 weeks. I never lost any weight, but I was also underweight so I don’t know if that had anything to do with it or not

18 weeks and just now seeing that I have a bump

3 years ago

About 20 weeks I got a little bump but I believe I had already gained weight by then. I gained 35lbs with my first and maybe 40lb with my second. I had tiny babies though, 6.1 lbs each. My sister in law loss weight during her pregnancy, she was very slim and tiny to begin with and her baby weighed more than mine when born.

3 years ago

I’m a slim person, so I ate more than a horse during my first and second trimester. I was scared about not gaining enough weight, and kinda gained too much, too fast. 😕 by the time I slowed down on my eating, I gained around 40lbs. I noticed that I started gaining weight around week 6 honestly, my bloating was pretty bad....now at 36 weeks, I’m up to 50lbs, but it’s at a much slower and consistent rate, about two pounds each week. Your body is beautiful, and it will grow however it deems perfect, I’m sure of it, just like your baby will be grown perfectly for your body too. 💜

Last pregnancy I gained 17 lbs by 23 weeks. Not sure if that's considered within normal range? I ended up gaining an additional 43lbs by the end sooo I'm doing everything possible this time around to limit that 😶

Second trimester. I lost 10 lbs in the first from being sick all the time.

I’m 21 + 3 and have gained maybe 4-5 lbs total so far, but definitely nothing noticeable. I mean, I’m still in my pre-pregnancy jeans and everything. But I am starting to expand even without the weight gain, so maternity jeans here I come.

I’m 15 weeks and have gained 6.2 lbs

If bloat counts then at about 6-7 weeks. But body fat increase I didn’t notice until about 19-20 weeks
