I am 11 weeks pregnant. How much weight should i have gained? I have only gained a pound so far. I was quite nauseated up until last week but i tried to eat properly during that time. My pre-pregnancy weight was 129.5 and i now weight 130.5. I wasn't overweight to begin with so i feel like i should be gaining a little more. Not drastic but a little more. Any advice?

From my experience, you're right on track. You only want to gain about 25 pounds over the whole pregnancy. Pretty much anything over that will be yours to keep. By 3 months I generally gained two pounds. Most of the weight seems to come on in months 6 through 8. By the time you're in your ninth month, the baby is so big you don't have room to eat so much so my weight gain slowed at that point. Everybody is different and some gain more, some gain less. Some people retain more fluid while pregnant and their weight goes up even more. If you focus on eating healthy and keeping fit, you'll do just fine. Congrats! Carol |

hello and welcome,
i was going to say about 25 to 30 lbs. try to stay well hydrated, especially in the summer months. dehydration can cause signs of labor. if you're having trouble with nausea/vomiting i would see your OB. try to just eat healthy and include protein. congrats on your pregnancy. let us know how you are.

A mommy of four All above info on the money Remember to feed YOURSELF HEALTHY FOODS as the baby depletes from you Any extra weight WILL shed as your body returns back in place Remember EVERYTHING get pushed aside Literally pushed aside to make room for your growing baby You are now moving into the next trimester And then the third where all they do is put weight on Is this your first child Will you breast feed Just an FYI If you decided to breast feed You will drop weight with the help of the little one sucking all the good stuff from you there is information on this I myself breastfed all four of my babies My eldest for 8 months Second 24 months My third six months My last 33 months It all depends on the child When they are ready to give it up But there wasn't much to lose when I gained the expected weight It came off quickly After the delivery of my last child Fourteen years from my third child The nurse entered my room I just delivered two hours prior All ready showered waiting for Corissa Asks Why was I there and what procedure I was having done I replied I just had my baby girl I have stretch marks from hip to hip Each stretch mark telling a story Have no fear Know the baby is taking all it can from you So you MUST eat healthy Good times ahead Wishing you a loving experience It okay to bottle feed Even in that case you could pump your milk if YOU choose I say this with no pressure Bottle fed babies in my personal opinion can bond with their baby Just as a breastfed babies do It is the act of HOLDING the child And NOT propping the bottle for them to suck from themselves A very dangerous practice I see so often it is frightening If your body was ready for this baby You are on point NO PREASSURE whatever makes YOU feel GOOD many good wishes with your baby blessing Love Me
