Do you gain weight the first week of pregnancy?

Question

I tested positive just few days back and already my pet feels a bit bloated and heavy. Is it possible to gain weight this early ya is it just bloating? Anyone else felt this?

Don't waste time checking your weight daily in the early weeks. Focus on keeping your energy up for your daily office routine instead.

Physiologically, the embryo is microscopic in the first week, so any immediate weight gain is usually water retention. Consult your doctor if you experience sudden fluctuations.

My saas immediately wanted to feed me double, but doctor said the baby doesn't need extra calories early on. It's just hormonal bloating.

Honestly, the only weight I gained in week one was from eating extra laddoos out of excitement! Real pregnancy weight takes time to show.

In that first week, your body is starting a beautiful journey and most of what you feel is just bloating. Don't worry about the scale, just take care of yourself.

No, it is too early for real weight gain. I just stuck to my doctor-approved walks and kept eating healthy meals.

Even with twins, my first week was just bad bloating that made my jeans tight, no real weight gain! Actual weight starts showing much later.
