I gained 16 lbs. my first trimester. Is this normal? How much did you gain? What do you plan to do after baby is here to lose the weight?

I have gained 10lbs so far (at 23 weeks) and I was average weight before the pregnancy. I have only gained weight in my belly and boobs, I haven't had any real crazy junk food cravings..and I drink tons of water.

I just plan to eat well...breast feed (hopefully) and work out to loose the weight!

I think the average for the first trimester is 3-5 pounds..and then 1-2 pounds every week depending on your starting BMI though. I would talk to your doctor/midwife for what is healthy for you.

I've only gained 5lbs so far (mind you I have an appt on Tuesday so you can probably add on another 5lbs).
I plan on breastfeeding (which apparently is the quickest way to get rid of that extra weight gained) and LOTS of walks with the baby!! Fresh air will be good for the lil one..plus we live in a fantastic neighborhood that's great for pushing a stroller around Actually can't wait to do walks with my LO!

I guess what's a normal weight gain depends on your BMI pre-pregnancy. If you were underweight to begin with, you'd be expected to gain a little bit more than the standard 25-35 lb weight gain overall.

I think I gained about 12 lbs at the end of my first trimester, which was a little more than I was expcting since I was just of the right weight for my height pre-pregnancy AND that despite the fact that I was throwing up pretty much everyday!

Right now, I've gained up 17 lbs total already, and while I wish it wasn't that much, I try not to worry too much about it. So long as the baby is healthy, and I try to eat as much healthy food as possible, it should be ok. I must admit, I do indulge in a chocolate here and there!

Oh, I forgot to answer about my weight loss program after pregnancy. Well, I do plan to breastfeed so that'll help. I hope to go back to biking to and from work, which I stopped doing when I got pregnant. I was never very good with going to the gym and stuff. Uhm.... what else... I guess the first few months of sleepless nights after the baby is born will help

I too have put on about 12/13 lbs too

But I do have quite a big bump for 13 weeks....

Hopefully things will start to slow down a little.

I plan on starting ante-natal yoga next week and swimming maybeonce a week just to keep me trim (ish) whilst pg and then I plan on breast feeding and walking with lo too!

In the first 16 or so weeks I put on about 5lbs, but now it's shot up to 10lbs! Eek, must be all those bags of Revels I've been scoffing!

Last Doctors appointment I had gained 16 lbs all together, that was at 21 weeks. A little more than I maybe should have, but not enough to be entirely concerned.
