Does morning sickness have you losing?
Carb-cravings have you gaining?
BTDT mommies how much did you gain with previous pregnancies?
I lost one lb 2 weeks ago and then gained back 2 last week while on vacation so overall I am up 1.
Last pregnancy I gained 33lbs. I gained 27 of them in the first 24 weeks and was freaking out. But then in the last 16 I only put on a few more lbs. I actually went 8 weeks in the second tri with no gain. Last pregnancy was a lot more stressful though and I'm a stress-eater so I'm hoping this time to keep it closer to 20-25.

All day sickness has me snacking all the time since I am not nausea as long as I am chewing on something. I am trying my best to snack on healthy foods though so hoping that will help in the weight gain dept.
No real carb cravings.....yet. *fingers crossed it stays that way
I gained 45 lbs with my son. Was so violently ill the first trimester that I lost almost 10 lbs and then quickly gained it all back and some. My goal this time around is 20-25 lb.
With my first i lost 12lbs then gained 15, so i was up 3lbs over all when he was born
with my second i lost about 5lbs and then gained 25 so overall i was up 20lbs
Yeah, I gained FIFTY pounds with my daughter. NOT happening this time! I am really focusing on just eating healthy, minimize the junk (sweet craving like MAD-organic cupcakes, yummy organic brownies...organic ice cream-I figured...hey, they are organic soooo). I'm eating tons of fruit and almost constantly snacking on veggies. And having smoothies midday. I eat the occasional saltine to help with nausea. I'm REALLY hoping no more than 20 lbs...I still have weight to lose from my 1st.
I hope I have not lost, I have no scale so I have no idea. I also have no idea what I weighed before, the last time I was weighed was probably 2 years ago.
I gained 12 with my first (after losing 7) and 15 with my second. I would love to gain 20 this time. We will see!
I am about the same, but I have been up a little bit recently for some random (unknown) reason. I haven't had m/s yet, but I usually do starting at 6 weeks. I have been craving carbs, but I've also been working out.
Weight gains:
#1 was 57 lbs
#2 was 30 lbs
#3 was 41 pounds
I'm aiming for no more than 25 lbs this time or less.
I only gained 2 lbs .. with DD I gained like 45 lbs with my son I gained over 60, I worked hard over the last year to lose 80 lbs and I still had some to lose before I found out I was expecting #3, so I am hoping to only gain MAX 25 lbs. I have no real bad cravings yet other than cereal and I am trying my best to keep it healthy. I plan on working out on a modified program .. So here is to being healthy!
I lost about 5 pounds before I found out I was pregnant, but haven't really gained/lost since then. I've been kinda surprised though, because I am definately eating more.
I've gained about 2 lbs so far. My nausea's starting to kick in some I'm trying not to let my stomach get too empty. I gained 34 lbs with my son and I'll probably gain somewhere around that with this jelly bean
I don't remember what I gained with my others. I never pay attention to my weight when pregnant. I wind up losing it all plus some after I have them, so I don't worry about it. I think with my daughter I gained 40 lbs, with my son I gained about 25 lbs... Sounds about right. I didn't watch what I ate with either of them.
How could I possibly hold any more weight on my body!? I just got down to 4 lbs from my last pre-pregnancy weight last week, so....I will probably be gaining weight again. I find that when I lose, I seem to gain it right back. I'd like to keep my weight gain down to 30lbs, I feel like that's a reasonable number for me, and would allow me to give in to certain cravings every once in awhile. My thinking is "pregnancy is the one time that it's best to gain" so if I gain weight I need to let it go.
Last time, every time I got on the scale and saw the numbers go up I felt "bad/weird" like I felt guilty about gaining, buy kept trying to tell myself it was ok. I am hoping to let go of that this time, especially since I came so close to losing it all within a year.
Fingers crossed we all gain a healthy amount and have an easy time taking it off!
I forgot to add I've gained 1 lb, but on me that could very easily be water/bloat.

I've gained 60lbs and 45lbs with my prior pregnancies. This time I'm trying to keep it to 25 or 30lbs. It is so stressful to get anything above that off. It's definitely worth the effort to never gain it. I usually go most of the pregnancy without gaining weight and then I eat my way to the finish, so I'll need to be careful of that.
Right now I feel pretty normal other than major aversions to spaghetti and meat sauce (Blech). So I'm still loosing at a healthy rate like I've been trying, I'm down 1lb to 150lbs. I'd like to end the pregnancy at 160lbs. I'm a little girl and I just can't handle being 180-200, it's hard on my health.

Does morning sickness have you losing? - Not yet but its early yet. but I am constantly nauseated.
Carb-cravings have you gaining? - No carb cravings yet.
BTDT mommies how much did you gain with previous pregnancies? with Brianna - 40 lbs. But I was 15 lbs underweight so everybody was happy. With Wyatt, I lost 15 in first trimester, then gained 21 back, so I gained a total of 6 lbs from prepreg weight.
I'm up 2 lbs...and I look like I'm 5 months pregnant. I don't understand all the bloat!!! I mean, I get it...third pregnancy and back to back, so body doesn't have time to get back to normal (well, I blame myself for that!). I still have about 7 lbs that I didn't lose from Natalie...so that will add on to what I gain this pregnancy.
I am serious when I say, fruits and smoothies and cucumbers for me. No more doughnuts or two big bowls of cereal (which is what I did for the other pregnancies---cereal is bad!!).
I hope to gain only 25 lbs. HAHA!!

I'm just over 6 weeks, and am still the same. I haven't had any aversions, but also no cravings, so it's pretty much business as usual! ... so far...
Last pregnancy I gained 30-35 pounds, and most of it was in the first 20 weeks! I was worried I was going to gain tons, but it really levelled off int he 3rd trimester. I never completely lost all the weight (still 15 pounds left), so I'm hoping to gain only 20 pounds or so this time around!
