How much weight gain in first trimester?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very little: Weight gain in pregnancy will vary from person to person. I encourage people to be healthy instead of focusing on weight gain. You only need 300 extra calories per day during pregnancy and this is in the third trimester. In the first trimester when the baby is less than two inches long you should be gaining very little.

Do we actually know if weight loss is okay during the first trimester? Read conflicting studies. Seems like it would be a good thing for overweight
