I'm probably freaking out about nothing, but I'm 17 wks and have only gained 3 pounds. Everything I've read online says I should at least be 2 lbs heavier. Have a normal BMI (5'3, weighed 129 now 132), eat healthy and exercise. Should I be worried about harming the baby by not having gained enough yet?
Re: 17 wks..how much should I have gained?

Like PPs, said, everyone is different and your doctor should give you some better advice. Hope you get the answers you need

I gained 45 lbs with my son and lost 40 of it by 6 weeks PP just beastfeeding and eating healthy foods (no dieting). Try not to stress and tt your doctor like your wonderful PPs have said.
Yeah, every pregnancy and every body is different. Try not to compare. As long as you're eating fairly well, then there should be no reason for concer, but ask your doc next time you see them. I, myself, have lost about 8lbs in the first trimester and just now at 17 weeks am I gaining it back...I'm still down 5lbs from my prepregnancy weight though. My tummy finally poked out though, so I look like I gained a ton in a short time. Weird as it may be, it's still normal to fluctuate and wonder.
