Part of the reason was because I knew I was pregnant so I no longer felt like I should have the diet mentality. (I always try to keep myself as fit as possible.) Now I'm 23 weeks and I've gained 18 lbs. which is okay because I was a little underweight to begin with. If you see yourself gaining weight now, make sure you are working out. This will help for an easier labor because your muscles will have the endurance to push through the entire labor. Plus, it is good for the baby when you are in good physical shape. Make sure you eat right too. And since it's probably your first pregnancy, find a list of foods you should avoid. Good luck.

I'm currently pregnant and I make sure to eat healthy food and exercise a lot. I was pregnant before and gained a lot of weight. It's really difficult to get rid of once you have the baby, so try to keep your weight at a minimum - without starving your baby of course. Just eat healthy food! Just be aware of what you eat.

I ALWAYS do that early on...then my weight gain tends to taper off and I loose the water weight.... Try to limit your sodium & salt intake (and read your labels...a lot of pre-packaged foods, canned veggies etc have a high sodium content) It will help you from bloating too much. But you can really gain weight thru out your entire pregnancy. Your Dr will tell you if you're gaining too fast etc. after a few appts. But at this stage don't worry too much about it. It usually evens out in the end. Good luck and Congrats. It sounds like you could be retaining water. I ALWAYS do that early on…then my weight gain tends to taper off and I loose the water weight….
