I just got on the scale. On July 7, before I left for Florida for my mini-vacation, I jumped on the scale and was 121lbs. Today, at 16 weeks and 4 days, I am up to 140!!!!!!!!! 19lbs in 4 months! Ouch!
All I really eat though is salad. But I was on ATkins before so I am sure that's why I have blown up.
Since you were thin before - you may need to gain more weight than others. Try not to worry too much about the scale (I know it is hard) and talk to you dr and think only about the health of your little baby. It may just even out. I know I gained more weight than I thought I would in the beginning (all in hips, thighs and butt) and then after that I kind of evened out. I know my m/s was to blame - I never got sick but was nauseous all the time and the only way that helped was eating lots of carbs...once that calmed down so did my weight gain. Also - are you bloating - I know I can go on the scale one day and be one weight and another up to 5lbs more and then back to the low weight the next day!!! I had a lot of bloating from about 9 weeks to about 16 weeks. Now it isn't as bad but I still get it.
I know, all I ate was carbs in the beginning. I will ask the dr if I am gaining too much tomorrow.
