Yes, I am a huge gainer when pregnant. It is normal (for me) to gain 20 pounds in the first trimester!! I usually eat constantly to prevent morning sickness and my body holds onto every bite I put in my mouth when I'm expecting. The most I gained was 75 lbs, the least I gained was 40. Luckily I've had good luck with kindly doctors who don't worry about it.

Me too - at 6 weeks and already gained almost 5 lbs! I also have to graze to keep from feeling icky... Morning sickness hasn't been too bad but I start to feel worse when i go too long without eating. I'm also getting killer headaches when I don't eat. Trying not to worry about it, but I already look like I did with DS2 at 12 weeks!!!

Last night I was so sick before bed that I ate like 1/2 of a thing of Pringles potato chips and pita chips...they were so yum..but oh so fattening! The thing that I found is that if I eat something like that before bed the morning sickness is not as bad.

I tend to gain a lot as well. I gained 75 lbs with my twins, though with them I was making a conscious effort to gain more weight since that's the recommendation for twins. With ds3 I think I gained maybe 45 lbs. With this pregnancy I piled on weight like crazy in the first trimester, but a lot of that had to do with how skinny I was - 20 lbs lighter than my 'normal' weight - because of the LE diet. I basically gained back that 20 lbs in the first 2 months of pregnancy! Now the weight's going on a lot more slowly, but I've already gained about 40 lbs and I'm only 24 weeks! Really, though, I'm only 20 lbs over what I consider to be my normal weight - the weight I am usually at when not following a diet.

I am the exception here I guess.
I was heavy when I concieved at around 205 lbs. During the 1st trimester I was turned off my faves like meat and chocolate and sweets, so I ate a lot of plain food and lost 10 lbs.
When I was weighed at my 22 week appt. I was 201 lbs, so I am still under what I was when I orginally got pregnant, though I *know* that now that my appetite is back, that I will at least gain 15 lbs. I gained 30 lbs exactly with both my boys. Was 150 lb was when preg with DS1, then 180 after I had him, dropped 10 lbs got pregnant again at 170, went up to 200 lbs, dropped 10 lbs when he was first born, but because of my sit down job I regained it, lost very few (5 lbs) when swaying, then lost more when newly pregnant.

I too gain a lot of weight when pregnant. I gained 60lbs with my first, 45lbs with my second, and 40lbs with my third. Already with this pregnancy I've gained 10lbs and I'm only 13weeks. I always get comments like are you having twins when I'm only 7 months along. Pre-pregnancy, I weigh around 135lbs-140lbs and a size 6. It always takes me a year to loose all the weight. I never return to normal until I'm finished breastfeeding.
