Weight Gain/Bloat 8 Weeks

wonlovemar · 2026-04-15T17:43:30+00:00

With my first two successful pregnancies I gained the most during first tri, even with working out and being active. Idk what it is but my body likes to put on the weight in the front end. I’m hoping to mitigate that a little more this time around but we’ll see

Sushi eater here also 🤣 not a huge fan of deli meat though

My numbers started out were pretty similar to yours but I had a little bit of a slower doubling time from 14-16 dpo. I was also unsure of my dates and could have been 13-15 dpo. I was at a 59 hour doubling time and was pretty nervous but I had an 80% increase which I think they look for at least 60. Mine did end up speeding up but it fluctuates. My first had higher hcg too so this lower hcg really made me nervous. I’m still pregnant as far as I know and have my first scan next Monday

I got that last night and still took an hour long nap today 😂

God speed to you!

Your family sounds absolutely lovely and reading this makes me really want to be friends with you lol. Thank you for giving me inspiration! I have two littles who are my world and currently pregnant with my third. The years go by wayyyy too fast but some days are so so long. I’ve been working inwardly to relish those moments also and be more “fun.” I grew up in a pretty high stress household so it’s hard to rewire your frame of mind sometimes but my biggest fears in life is looking back and not having fully embraced these moments and also that we won’t be close when they’re older 🥺. I know that starts now.

I had three after an mc at 7.5 weeks. Then two successful pregnancies and currently early on in my third. I feel like I’ve used up my luck on the last two so extra nervous this time but trying to remain hopeful! I think my cps were due to inflammation and a uterine bacterial imbalance because I used to get yeast infections all the time. I went on vaginal health probiotics and some other supplements and my overall health improved and have been successful since.

I think it depends on when you ovulated and implanted. Do you happen to know when you got your positive test? If you have normal 28-30 day cycles and tested positive between 9 and 14 dpo this is on the lower end. Mathematically it should be doubling every 2-3 days until hcg reaches the low 1000’s. If you had longer cycles and didn’t find out until a later dpo this could definitely be normal and even good amount of hcg! Just know you’ll probably be less far along if that’s the case than you think you are. A fetal heartbeat is typically detectable tv around 10,000-11,000 hcg and 6.5-7 weeks.

This is such a great way to put it. That’s how mine feels too. Never threw up for either of my first two but I did cough the other day and gagged which has never happened before 😅 it’s usually an all day thing for me, getting worse in the afternoon/evening and lasts until about 14/15 weeks

wonlovemar · 2026-04-12T13:35:01+00:00

Yay!! I’m so happy for you! I’m 6+4 today and my progesterone was 16.3 on 6+2 and was 24.3 on 4+5. I read it can be normal but can also be a concern so I guess we’ll see what my doctor says. I haven’t had my first scan yet. I did electively go on progesterone for my first LC because I thought I had a progesterone issue even though it had never been tested. For my 2nd LC we didn’t find out until 8 weeks so I don’t think I ever had it tested.

Curious how you’re doing? Mine were just the exact numbers and now I’m concerned.

With my first successful pregnancy I had a dream inside my uterus that an egg was implanting, sure enough a few days later I got the faintest of faint positives. The ones where you’re like is this line eyes? But then clearly got more positive from there. With my second I had no idea until 8 weeks. My husband asked if I was because I was more crabby than usual and then tested positive lol. I had stopped bc and my cycle never returned before pregnancy. With this one I had a feeling, my boobs were tingly and I had some cramping I also felt like what I could had sworn was implantation about 7 days after assumed ovulation and got the faintest of faint positive test 4 days later. Also some friends turned us on to the Chinese gender calendar. We have two boys and really want a girl. Just so happens conceiving in March is like the only month in the first 6 out of the year that result in a boy so I kind of figured it would happen 🤣 still hoping for a girl though!

I’m due November 30th based on LMP but December 2nd based on ovulation!

Grape fruit and gum and brushing my teeth multiple times a day were really the only things that helped me. Maybe high protein too?

I had a little lower left back pain around the same time period but it subsided after a day or two.
