anyone here not gain any weight in first trimester?
I have always had problems keeping on weight and Im underweight to begin with ( not a common problem I know) Im really nervous that Im not going to be able to gain the weight neccessary for this pregnancy! I eat like a maniac-- like 3800 calories on average per day. I just dont understand it. My doctor doesnt seem to worried but I am.

I gained 2lbs in 13 weeks and I sware it is all boob weight even though I am also showing in my belly.. etc.
I was underweight but healthy at prepregnancy and was told that I should work on 1lb to a 1lb and 1/2 per week. So that's 27-30lbs more by May 2005.
I also have an insanely high caloric intake.

I didnt gain any weight until my 15th week and that was a pound. I have gained a total of 9 lbs and I am in my 25th week. Dont worry everything your eating is going to your baby so its getting its nourishment

I didn't gain any weight at all. I lost almost 15 lbs and have gained back only 14lbs. My daughter was born only 3lbs 1.8 oz and on my 34th week. Thank God, she is fine and healthy. She is now 4 1/2 months old and weighs over 10lbs.

I lost about 8 pounds in the first trimester. I'm now at about 22 weeks and have gained them back. I think that not gaining weight in the first trimester is very common, and that as long as you are eating and keeping your prenatal vitamins in you shouldn't worry.

At 21 weeks, I have gained about 10lbs so far. I really didn't gain that much weight in the 1st 12 weeks. I wouldn't worry to much about it as long as you are eating healthy foods (lots of veggies/fruits/proteins) If you are then your little peanut should be getting all the nutrition that it needs. I am trying to eat healthier, but unfortunately I have been eating a chocolate muffin/brownie everyday. I need something sweet each day.

At week 17 I have lost 10lbs. My doc isn't worried. I am sure you will be fine.

I've read that the 'average' expected weight gain in the first trimester is about 1 or 2 pounds, so losing or gaining just a few seems normal. I don't imagine you have anything to worry about.
