[ Original Post ]

I'm only 7 weeks along. I weighed myself on Saturday morning and then I weighed myself this morning and I've already gained 4 pounds! And that's just in one week!!! With Noah I only gained 10 pounds total! I'm hungry all the time, but I've really been watching what I eat because I had GD with Noah and I don't want to take any chances with this one. I'm already showing, (which I'm not surprised about because I started showing with Noah at 6 weeks) but I'm showing enough to where people are noticing I'm pregnant. Also, I'm getting winded very very easily. Just going out to the mailbox or running the vacuum is making me out of breath and I have to sit down. This has me worried because I never got out of breath like this with Noah. I'm just plain exhausted to where if I sit still too long I fall asleep. I nap everytime Noah does lol. ↓

Are you sure that your dates are right? Maybe you are more pregnant than you think? ↑

you also have to figure each pregnancy is different and you're also retaining water, and so on and so forth there could be a number of reasons as to why youve gained more this pregnancy than before. if you are really concerned call your doctor but i dont think its anything you should be worried about . ↑

I did the same thing in the beginning of my pregnancy but my weight really fluctuated (did I spell that right, lol). I'd gain like 5 pounds and then lose 3..... but I guess it was alot of retaining water too (like Coartney said). ↑

yes, every pregnancy is different. i just found out im pregnant today (i think im about 5 weeks) and i've been having heartburn for a few days and sore breasts. WIth my son i NEVER had any of those symptoms. I didnt know what heartburn OR sore boobs felt like.
Maybe you're gaining really quick but later on in the pregnancy you may not gain that much. That happened to me with my son. ↑

I didn't think about retaining water.. thats a good possibility.
Coartney.. when I was pregnant with Noah I was sick from 5 weeks until I delivered all day and all night long. None of the meds worked because they wouldn't stay down. I ended up in the ER and then admitted to the hospital.It was awful but definately worth it. I don't buy that whole girls make you sicker crap. ↑
