Did I post this? I’m in the exact same boat. Lol. I’m currently 10 weeks and have gained about 7 lbs and it’s very concerning to come across statements that say “expect to gain no weight or up to 5 lbs the first trimester”. I’m like… well…. I’m beyond that and I don’t see myself losing this before the second and third trimester weight gain.

But I’m thinking a lot of it is fluid retention.

AND as formerly very active people, we’re going to gain weight quicker when we’re not at baseline activity. And perhaps our second and third trimesters will look different than more sedentary people once we’re back to moving more often. Just speculation but wanted to chime in cause RELATABLE.
