well its different for everyone i think i only gain like 7 or 8 pounds my first trimester not sure. But as long as your doctor isnt worried about it i wouldnt worry to much. babies go through growth spurts at diffrent times maybe try watching what you eat like more vegitables and less salty foods as salt helps retain water

i am 9 weeks and my weight has fluctuated a lot. i thought i had gained 5 lbs, but it was just water, i guess, bc i lost it. everytime i think i gained more weight it goes away after a couple of days. so, a lot of it could be water weight. if you're really bloated, you could feel a lot heavier than you are. and maren is right, everyone is different and some women gain more in the first trimester and then slow down a bit. as long as you're aware of it and are cautious, you should be fine.

I found I gained a lot in my first trimester as well because I didn't have any morning sickness and was ravenous all the time (and I was eating whatever I wanted!) I was kind of concerned about it but the doctor a__sured me that I was right where I should be. I'm now 36 weeks and have gained a total of 28lbs and I haven't gained anything in the last 7-8 weeks. I really started to pay attention to what I was eating and I always try to make healthy choices and avoid junk food as much as possible now. Although I do have to indulge in icecream or a few squares of chocolate every few days! As long as you don't eat too much junk food I'm sure you'll balance out in the end.

I started showing really early and gained a bunch of weight in my first tri-mester too, but then it slowed down. I gained a total of 28 pounds throughout my pregnancy.
