Weight Gain for First Trimester

Posted on March 9, 2009 in Pregnancy & Labor by little mochi

Every one thinks they are supposed to GAIN weight during their pregnancy.  Well, technically, you are.  But many women lose weight during their first trimester.  Hey, that’s normal ladies.  All the morning sickness – who wants to eat when you feel nauseated all the time?

On my first appointment for Baby #2 (which was back in Dec 08), I weighed 112 pounds – which is only 4 pounds more than my initial weight I was pregnant with Little Mochi.  Not bad huh?  I lost 50 pounds in a year and half.  Not bad at all.

January 26, 2009.  That was my second appointment.  Weighed 114 pounds, a gain of 2 pounds.

Feb 23, 2009, my third appointment.  Weighed 113 pounds.  I lost one pound.  I couldn’t believe it at first.  But then again, I have been sick two times since I found out I was pregnant.  And I was mildly nauseated all day.  Furthermore, Little Mochi is now in the picture.  Last time, I was able to get a lot of sleep.  Now, Little Mochi keeps me on my toes so even if I wanted to sleep, I couldn’t.

The Doc did say it was normal to lose weight during the first trimester.  But I should be gaining from now on, right?  I am starting to feel better now – nausea went away and I’m eating much better. 

My next appointment is in two weeks, March 23, 2009.  We’ll see how much weight I have gained since last month.  Oh, and this time, I get to find out whether the baby is going to be a boy or girl.  How exciting is that? :-)

    My wife put on about 10 lbs the first trimester, but around the second I had passed her up. She ended up putting on 35 lbs, but I still weighed more than her and she has since lost her weight were I have not!
