Hi! Everyone is so different with the weight gain. "Normal" is to gain between 25-35lbs. If you are a very tiny person sometimes the docs want you to gain more. If you are bigger maybe not as much. You may gain early and then slow down....honestly we are all different. You may have to watch if you do gain too much b/c you don't want gestational diabetes or other weight causing issues. Walking can help so much and has been shown to help with labor and relaxing. Congrats on your pregnancy!
Ladies?...Dr.???

I just tried on some pants and none of them fit. Well they fit they are just really tight. I am 7 weeks 3 days today. Is this normal? I know this is a silly question but I dont want to gain too much weight and too fast. I guess im gonna have to go pant shopping LOL!
Nicki, if it makes you feel any better, i was so bloated by 5 weeks that my pants were tight (granted, my pants were fitted to begin with). fran is right about it being different for different people.
i am what the docs and textbooks call underweight pre-pregnancy and i am about 7.5 months right now and have gained about 20-21 pounds.
i gained really slowly in the beginning, picked up the pace in the 2nd trimester (late) and have stagnated recently. i'm sure that'll change soon.
i wouldn't stress too much about it and just try to eat as healthy as you can and walk if you're able to.
good luck!
