Curious as to how everyone is calculating weight gain. From weeks 4 (missed period) - 12? I'm curious because not everyone finds out right away, which would mean those who find out later are gaining 15 pounds in four or five weeks.

10 pounds in the first trimester with both pregnancies. I was so sick and the only moments I felt better were when I was full. (so strange because it seemed counter intuitive).
I went on to gain a total of 25-30 pounds each time. Virtually none in the third trimesters.

2nd pg - lost 4lbs at 15 weeks

Gained about 1.5 pounds.

I lost weight in first trimester

I gained no weight in the first try, 18 lbs in the second, and 2 in the 3rd so far--I am 38 weeks now. totally varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy (with #2 I gained a lot at the end, now I haven't put on weight for 5 weeks).

11/18 12:44 PP here.

I've just finished my 1st tri and have gained 10 pounds total so far. My nausea/ravenous hunger stopped at week 11 or so, and my weight gain has been minimal since.

After reading these posts, it seems like we should take the averages or medians with a grain of salt. Pregnancies seem to diverge a lot in their eating effects on women. Just try to eat a healthful diet to the extent you can and try to get moderate exercise.

Zero, but have gained 7.5 so far in the 2nd trimester (23 weeks now). I had the same pattern with my first and ended up gaining 30 lbs total--most in the end of 2nd/beginning of 3rd. I keep using "it's the holidays and I'm pregant!" as an excuse to eat all kinds of fatty crap in ridiculous quantities.

I've lost 10 pounds.

I gained 6 lbs the first trimester.

Now at 17 weeks I am at a total of 8 lbs gained.
