Haven't gained any weight

Tassie06

I'm 17 weeks pg and had my check up yesterday. I haven't gained any weight since my last months appointment. And since becoming pregnant I've only gained 5 lbs. this is my second pregnancy and by this point I was up nearly 15 lbs. (gained 45 in total). Anyone else very slow to gain the baby weight?

I didn't start gaining weight at all until my second tri, I was 133 before pregnancy until 16 weeks, at my 20 week appointment, I was up 4 pounds and my doctor is confident everything was fine. Now I'm almost 28 weeks and up about 13 pounds total, so I'm sure you'll get there!

I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained anything yet, although I am so bloated I look like I have!

With DD I lost 15 lbs from m/s and didn't gain any until about 20 weeks. I was about 20 lbs overweight to begin with.
With this one I've lost 5 lbs and have maintained that. I'm 18 weeks now. I started out flirting with the line between overweight and healthy according to the BMI.
At my last appointment we briefly discussed it and I told her I was taking in 1500 to 1600 calories a day and she said that was fine.

I'm fairly skinny and I'm at 17 weeks with only a few pounds gained...I definitely am showing, but when it comes to weight, it doesn't add up...

I was convinced that I'd gained a few pounds in first tri but at my 14 week appointment, I weighed exactly the same as I did at my 10 week appointment, which was only up a pound from before I got pregnant. The doctor wasn't concerned.

I'm just coming up on 16 weeks now. My appetite has been increasing so I'm hoping to see more of a change at my 18 week appointment but not stressing about it. Follow your body's cues and as long as your doctor isn't worried, no need for you to be.

Im 5'4" and was about 130 pre-pregnancy. I'm 18w2d, and I've only gained 2 pounds in the last couple of weeks. My appetite has come back full force, so I think it'll be fairly easy to gain the recommended amount by the end!

I'm also 17 weeks, or will be tomorrow .. I have gained 2 pounds so far .. with my first child, I gained 20 pounds total .. how much weight you gain usually depends on your pre-pregnancy weight ..

Don't worry about it. I've only gained 3 pounds so far. My OB isn't concerned.

I'm 17 weeks and have only gained 3 so far. Doctor said she isn't concerned but if I'm still not gaining by 20 weeks she'll want me to try protein shakes to start gaining a little.

I'm only up about 1.5 lbs at 14 weeks. With my last pregnancy, I was so sick for the first few months that I actually lost 10 lbs in the first trimester. My OB has never been concerned.

I'm just 13w, but I've only gained about three pounds. I was overweight to begin with, so I've been careful not to go nuts with food, but I'm also not "dieting."

I think it's fairly normal at this point, esp. if you lost weight due to m/s at the beginning.

I actually lost 6lbs my first trimester. I am now 14 weeks and I only gained what I lost so it's like I didn't gain anything with the pregnancy because I am right back where I started! My OB didn't seem concerned though

I have only gained back what I lost in first Tri due to nausea + 1 more pound. I am already on the chunky side (194 lbs) now. My MW said not to worry unless baby was also not growing at the right pace.

FTM. I'm 22 weeks, at my 18 week apt I hadn't gained any weight, due to MS, I went back to my pre-baby weight as soon as I could eat again lol.   We went on a babymoon to SF, and I ate bacon everyday for breakfast, and so much rich delicious food, I gained 8lbs, at least that's what my scale said.  Yesterday 22 week apt, I was only up 5lbs from my original weight.  Everyone I have talked to said they gained most of their weight in the 3rd trimester.  Who knows, I'm hoping not to gain more than 15 overall. Good Luck ladies!

I'm 21 weeks now and have finally gained 2 pounds.  I was worried until I realized just how much muscle mass I'd lost to "fat" gain because I can't hit the gym like I was.  Baby looks healthy and I'm doing okay, so I'm going with it.  

ckandi007

Yep, I've only gained 1 lbs so far at 19w1d.

My first pregnancy, I was up just 1 pound at my 20 week Level 11...in 17 weeks, I gained FIFTY-TWO pounds....that's right, 5-2!  A lot of it was pre-e symptoms...but STILL, it was LARGE and in CHARGE time.

As long as the doc isn't concerned...you are OK.   This time around, I am good ;-)  I am up just 2 pounds at 18 weeks, but I KNOW what could be in store me!
