PREGNANT WOMEN: During pregnancy does your weight fluctuate(change)?

Yes mine has fluctuated but usually goes up pretty fast after that first trimester. It still fluctuated a bit after but not by much (i.e. 2-4 pounds in either direction). Here's an article: Most women will notice a slight weight gain in the beginning of pregnancy, usually about four pounds during the first trimester. Some of this is water weight, so of this is materials needed to help your baby grow. Your baby is still very tiny at the end of this trimester. Occasionally you will see women who gain a bit more weight up to about ten pounds during the first trimester from lowered activity levels and water weight gain. If you are overweight you need to gain about three pounds and if you are underweight you should gain about five pounds. The majority of the weight will be fairly evenly spread over the last two trimesters, about a pound a week, with a little more at the end. Again, if you are underweight it should be increased by about 25% (or a quarter pound per week) and if you are overweight it should be decreased by the same amount. It is also quite common to notice a cessation of weight gain, perhaps even a slight weight loss at the very end of pregnancy. If you notice that you've put on several pounds one week, look back at your diet. Did you changes your dietary habits? Your practitioner will also use your weight gain as an indicator of baby's growth and in looking for potential problems. Remember slow and steady wins the race!.***:D
