Finally got a scale so I can input weights into my online pregnancy weight tracker....hrm. The scale is calibrated and accurate.
Pre-Pregnancy Weight: 138 lbs.
Weight Gained in 1st Trimester: 2.0 lbs.
Weight Gained in 2nd Trimester: -3.5 lbs.
Yup. You read that right. So far, at 17 weeks pregnant I've now LOST 3 1/2 pounds and I weigh less now than I did pre-pregnancy. Yet, the baby is now about 3-4 oz. It's not that I'm not eating. Honestly, I eat all the time. And I eat a lot too. I mean, I'm generally good about stopping when I'm full, but yeah. And it's a variety of things. No, they aren't all super-healthy, but I get a lot of good meats, veggies, and the like. *sigh* I wish my medicaid would start so I can talk to my doctor about this.
baby,
weight gain
