I think at 15 weeks I'd only gained 5 lbs total. Then I think 8 total at 19 weeks. I'm afraid to find out now but it's at least 15, probably more like 20. I started packing it on about week 21 or so.
Both this pregnancy and last I started gaining immediately. At 14 weeks I'm up about 8 pounds. Last time about the same. My gaining slowed a lot in third tri though and I only gained 30 or so total.

At the beginning of the cycle I ended up getting pregnant in I started weight watchers. I lost 10lbs by the time I got my BFP, 4 weeks later I was in the office for my first u/s and I was already back up 9lbs. 4 weeks after (last week) I was up another 2 lbs. Since I was already overweight, this doesn't bode well for me...
Thanks Ladies. I am still down by around 13-14lbs from the day I POAS. But I have now stopped losing and for the last 2 weeks my weight seems to have stayed the same so I am wondering if the scale is going to start tipping the other way now. But me losing weight is a good thing, my BMI is high so it is preferred that I gain as little as possible.
(I am still down 5lbs from when I saw my midwife 8 weeks ago. I am hoping she notices when I see her on Wednesday)
Yeah, I am the same as you. I lost about 10-12 lbs when I POAS, especially with the MS and bad migraines I had. My weight loss started plateauing around 16 weeks, and I am up 3 lbs at 19 weeks.
I lost some weight in first tri and am now up a total of 5 pounds. I am eating healthy and exercising so I am not concerned. I know I will put on weight as the baby needs it. My husband helps keep me reassured of this when I start to freak out.
I had pretty mild m/s (more just food/digestive issues, really) that was enough to keep things in check first tri. I lost a lb over the first 10 weeks or so. I had gained it back by week 12ish, and now (17 weeks) I think I'm up 2lb from that. I remember about week 12-13 I was slightly concerned that maybe I should be gaining more weight, but pretty much as soon as I thought about it, the weight gain started. heh.
First pregnancy, right away. I think I put on 10 lbs by 14 weeks. Total gain was 45 lbs for that one. I ate and ate and ate that pregnancy. Only redeeming thing was I also worked out a tonne.
Second pregnancy I started off 15 lbs above my pre-kids weight and didn't start gaining until 20 weeks. Total gain for that pregnancy was 25 lbs (so +40lbs on my pre-kids weights). I exercise moderately and ate really well - no evening sit down with a box of rosemary Triscuits and a tub cream cheese!
I'm 7 weeks right now and haven't gained anything.... yet.
1st time - I started gaining immediately, like from 4 weeks on.
This time - I initially lost a few pounds (probably from lack of booze), and started gaining back at 9-10 weeks. I was.still bloated as hell before starting to gain though.
I gained 8 pounds by my 12-week appointment. That was a combination of nausea making me not want to eat my normally healthy staples then dialing back exercise because I was so tired all the time. The gains slowed down when I started feeling better. I was up 22 lb at 24 weeks and haven't gained anything since (I'm almost 32 weeks). We'll see what happens over the next two months.
Around 4-5 mos pregnant. I lost weight during the first tri and started putting some back on maybe around 4 months pregnant, but got above my prepregnancy weight closer to 5 months pregnant. It took a while because I had no appetite for 3 full months.

It's kind of crazy how different everyone is! We have almost the dame due date, and we've gained almost the same amount (I'm up around 20 pounds), and yet I've gained 12 pounds since the 24 week mark.
I was still down 3 lbs at 16 weeks, mostly because of m/s, food aversions, and migraines. I'm finally starting to feel like i can almost eat like a normal person. think I may have gained a little more, but I'll find out next week at my 20 week appointment. The doctor hasn't mentioned my weight at all, either way.

I lost 10 pounds during the first trimester due to morning sickness (and not drinking beer ). I started to gain that back probably around 12ish weeks. And then I'd say by 20 weeks I had gained it all back. Now (at almost 24 weeks) I am up about 2-3 pounds. However, I started out my pregnancy with some weight to lose. And I was put on the gestational diabetes diet around 16ish weeks, so that has definitely had an impact on my weight gain.

At my 16 appointment I was up 3 lbs, at my 20 week appt, I was up 10. I partially blame having the 20 week appt in the afternoon where all my other ones had been at 8am. Or at least thats what I'm telling myself. I didn't lose any in the first tri and haven't weighed myself beyond at the doctor. At my 20 wk, the doctor said I could expect about a pound a week from here on out.
I only gained a couple pounds in the first tri, and now I'm up 11 lbs now at almost 24 weeks. It's been a pretty slow and steady gain so far. I'm hoping to keep my total gain under 30 lbs, but we will see. I've had a feeling for a few weeks now that it would start piling on soon.
