I'm in my first trimester and haven't noticed much weight gain yet, which makes me a little anxious. When does weight gain typically start in pregnancy? I'm curious about the normal progression.
When I went to stay at my parents' house in my second trimester, my mother's ghee-laden food finally made my weight go up! Usually, the first trimester is very low-gain, but from the 4th month, you will start seeing a steady, healthy increase.
Real weight gain usually starts in the second trimester, around the 4th month. Don't stress if you aren't gaining weight in the first three months, that is completely normal. Just focus on eating healthy meals and let your body do its job.
I used to weigh myself every single morning in the first trimester and panic because I wasn't gaining anything! But actually, weight gain only starts properly after week 13 or 14. Just make sure your doctor says the baby's growth is fine, and try not to obsess over the scale like I did.
I am currently in my 5th month and only now seeing the scale go up slightly! In my first trimester, I actually lost 2 kg because of constant nausea. Did anyone else also start gaining weight quite late?
Do not worry about the numbers on the scale too much, dear. The steady weight gain usually begins in the second trimester as your sweet baby starts growing bigger. Eat with gratitude and keep your mind happy and relaxed.
Honestly, for me, the weight gain started the moment my second-trimester cravings kicked in! In the first trimester, morning sickness kept it in check, but after week 14, my love for homemade parathas definitely showed on the scale!
