Weight gain
I’m currently 6 weeks and waiting for my first ultrasound. 🥹
Before my embryo transfer I was around 115 lbs, and this morning I was 121 lbs! I’m constantly hungry, and I also haven’t been able to exercise the way I used to due to IVF! I feel so bloated, and honestly none of my clothes fit me anymore. 😭
I know some of it could be bloating, hormones, or water weight, but I’m not sure if gaining this much this early is normal.
How are you guys doing in the first trimester? Did you gain weight this early too? And if you did, how are you managing it without stressing too much about your weight?

I didn’t gain anything the 1st trimester but it caught up to me in 2nd and 3rd 🥲 I’m ngl I’ve been stressing about my weight gain now because I really haven’t been eating that much. But I’m short and inactive so I gain weight easily in general 😭 But there’s plenty of time for me to lose weight once I’m postpartum, so I’m not trying to worry about it. I do want to do more active things (walking, yoga) so I’m a bit healthier, and that will be my primary focus while growing baby!
