I experienced it however I'm carrying twins... Have you considered...?
Hi
Same here! I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and was showing very early (4/5 weks).
Since the move to Hong Kong in Jan the stress and exceitement at being somewhere else meant I went down to about 5kg under weight. So pre pregnant weight was 57kg (I am 5'11"). I have now put the 5 kg on plus another couple!!! I am basically taking it easy - chilled out, eating healthily : a little bit more then I was but not too much, and I feel great. (No sickness, moodiness or anything - is that a good thing? ... worry worry ...)
I thought I was having twins so went for an early scan ... it is just the one!!!
I think your body does what it needs to do, I certainly am not over eating - in fact if you look at my calorie intake for a day it is within the recommended daily amount for my height etc ... but I still put on lots of weight. If that is what my body needs to do to produce a healthy baby then I say "bring it on" lol (Although I hope I dont get toooo fat)!
BTW I had a friend who did nothing but eat chips and burgers through her pregnancy, it may or may not be related but she now has a daughter with terrible bowl problems ... she has also not been able to lose the pre pregnancy weight and it has gone 2 yrs. So yes, totally agree with Sleuth ... dont take the eating for two thing too seriously hehe.

You're going to gain weight. The textbook answer is one pound/2.2 kilos for each week, but not everyone qualifies as "textbook". Common sense would suggest that 1/2 of that rate might be a problem as would double that rate. Eating healthy (McDs once is not bad, just don't do it every day) and exercising should keep the correct weight coming--and make it easier coming off after the birth.
Usually only when you enter the 2nd trimester you'll start to gain 1 pound/ week as baby's catching up in size. In the first trimester though, some people experience nausea so may even lose some weight. In any case if you eat and rest well, and that your baby is growing healthy inside you, don't worry too much about the weight issue or when it starts to show. Good luck!
