weight gain in 1st trimester..

just wondered how much weight people have gained since getting pregnant ( ie.those around 15/16wks).. i know the recommended weight gain in 2kg ( 1kg=2.5lb).. i have had the wedding & honeymoon & know i over -ate .. now begining to really feel that awful sluggish feeling not sure if its the pregnancy ( as had started to get more energetic) or the weight - have gained 5kg..which is 12lb..quite alot for only 15wks preggers! anyone else experience with this one?

Hi there My GP told me to watch my weight and ideally you're not supposed to put on any weight in the 1st trimester, but I know that's easier said then done. I'm over weight anyway, I was 12 stone at 5wks, and am 7+1 now and haven't weighted myself since, but based on no exercise and having a bit of a sweet tooth, I've prob put on weight. They call the honeymoon weight the Newlywed 9(lbs) so I really wouldn't worry about it. Some of my friends put on 4 stone when pg but have since lost it all, as long as u get some exercise in, eat healthily, loads of meat and veg, organic if possible, you'll be fine. Don't worry about it!.
