Weight gain ?????

How much did you gain by 17 weeks.? I don't know if I'm not gaining enough. So far I've gained 6lbs ..

Re: Weight gain ?????

  • Unless your dr tells you you aren't gaining enough you're okay. As far as my dr knows I've only gained 3 lbs and I'm 22wks and they haven't said anything to me about it

  • At 17 weeks I had only gained 8 lbs... then I gained way more. I'm at 25 weeks and 20 lbs (yikes!)
  • Guess I've gained more than you guys. i'm not happy about it but Ive gained about 12 lbs and I'm20 weeks
  • I think it really depends on the person, I started slightly underweight and had only gained 4 pounds by 13+6 and then over night at 14 wks another 4 pounds out of absolutely nowhere... I just woke up and had gained. I think you're body will gain what it needs to gain. If your doctor is not concerned, that's the best reassurance you can get. My OB keeps reminding me, "No news is good news." They will not hesitate to communicate with you if they start to get even a little nervous about not seeing weight gain. 
  • Weight gain is different for everyone based on a number of factors so it's hard to compare with others. I'll be 20 weeks Friday and I've gained 2 pounds. Unless your doctor seems concerned about your weight gain, I wouldn't worry.

    I'm 15w and only gained a pound since my last visit at 11w. I think *I* have lost weight but clearly the babies have not.
  • I am 17 weeks and 2 days and I gain so far 7 pounds . I wouldn't like to have more at this stage and it's perfectly fine and proportional ) consider Urself lucky bcz it's just ur belly that Is growing , not other parts ))))
