Weight gain concerns??

Mommabeardrea

I know it sounds silly to complain about not gaining weight but I'm 24 weeks pregnant my pre pregnancy weight was 147lbs a few weeks ago I was 151lbs yesterday I was again 147lbs... Is this normal? I mean I really try to eat healthy and exercise somewhat because I don't want to gain any more weight than I'm supposed to. Dr hasn't said anything other than baby is growing fine, but why am I not gaining weight?? I guess I'm more confused than anything

Everyone is different. Some gain a lot, some gain a little and some even loose weight. If your dr isn't worried you shouldn't be.

Thank you gotdiesel2007, I thought that I hope it stays this way as long as it's healthy lol

No i'm the same way. Don't worry. 

I have actually lost a little bulk overall. My legs, arms, shoulders are all thinner than before. My belly has gotten bigger, that's all. 

My nurses scolded me a bit but my doctor said that it's fine. Baby will borrow what she needs from you if she has to and as long as i'm not losing FLUIDS at an alarming rate, it's nothing to panic about. 

She suggested eating lots of small meals which helps you get more food into you - it's also easier to prepare healthy small meals than healthy large ones. 

And my husband, being chinese, cooks with black beans a lot. The smell of those puts me off any large meals made in the house.

I'm 18 weeks Monday and my Dr said my weight loss isn't a problem. But that she'd like me to have gained atleast something back by my next appointment. I've got 2 weeks and I'm beginning to think I'm going to be getting scolded. I haven't lost anymore though so I'm trying to look at that positive!
