17 weeks today WEIGHT?!?

TifVB

I am 17 weeks today....I went to the Dr on Monday and they weighed me like they do every 2 weeks...and I lost a pound....I haven't gained anything this whole pregnancy...nothing and now I have lost a pound...my dr didn't mention anything about it being a problem nor a concern but my husband lost it...he read that I should have gained 5-10 lbs by now. This is my 2nd baby and with my first I gained a total of 30lbs. But that was 8years ago. I am not thin I am a few pounds over my ideal weight.

I just really want to know if anyone else is like me right now??!!

Ps I eat whenever I am hungry until I am full and I snack all day.

My first appt at 10 weeks I was 121. I had my annual preventive visit with my PCP on Monday (17w) and I was 120. So I'm in the same boat. My weight is usually stable and my midwife told me I might have to "fatten up." Not really sure how to make that happen, like you said, I eat when I'm hungry!

My midwife told me she "didn't care" about whether I gained weight or not until 20 weeks, so I wouldn't worry too much if you've been eating all right.

I'm 15w2d and I haven't gained any weight either. I haven't been eating the healthiest either (so exhausted so I don't feel like cooking very much) so I figured I would have gained weight. I only gained 28lbs with my first, so I'm not too worried about it though.

Somewhat in the same boat in the beginning I lost five pounds and gained it back weeks later and some extra but I think that's from increased blood & fluids around baby because I'm literally all belly now butt got a little bigger SO loves that part but we walk all the time for exercise my legs are very toned I literally have no clue where this weight is going. But I've been at a plateau for the past month and a half

Don't worry about it, it's still early. I only gained 10 pounds my whole pregnancy last time and I'm fairly small and the baby was perfectly healthy! That may be due to the fact that I had gestational diabetes and was on a diet for the last trimester. However, I am eating constantly this time around so I might be gaining more this time. Eek!

I've only lost. Grand total close to 10 pounds. I started at 205 (I'm 5' 8") so I was considered overweight to start with. My doc isn't concerned. She said it's not uncommon for women with a few extra pounds to spare to lose it. Far reserves are useful because they do help feed baby and you. My appetite is completely gone so I'm glad I started of over weight.

And no baby isn't my diet plan I fully expect to start gaining come 20 or so weeks (hopefully)

I'm in a similar boat. I'm 15 weeks pregnant with twins and no weight gain yet! I'm definitely seeing a change in my belly but no scale movement. My doc says for right now, no worries, my body will do what it needs to do when it needs to do it. I'm sure they will keep a good eye on you.

Snoopylovesbelle

I've lost 20 so far. You are okay.

holocene

I'm still 4lbs pre pregnancy weight. You're good! 

Or, maybe you have a parasite. 

Just kidding. You're fine.

If you're overweight it's pretty common to not gain, even lose, weight. You still have plenty of time left, trust me.

If your doc isn't worried, I wouldn't take your husbands opinion over he med professional. It will be okay!

Sovvy

I haven't gained any weight, I'm not concerned either way. NBD.

Not something to worry about. His reaction. seems melodramatic. I was a healthy BMI with DD and DS and didn't gain anything til about 6 months with DD and 5 with DS. Ended up at around 20 with both. If you're overweight, most docs advise to gain 15-25 pounds, normal weight 25-35, underweight 35-45.

At my 12 week appointment, I had lost seven pounds and my doc told me I need to be better about eating (food aversions keep from doing that though). She didn't seem worried, just encouraged me to EAT. DH has now taken it as his personal mission to force feed me. I've gained back three, but I'm still below my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm not too worried about it though!! You'll be fine! ETA: I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow

I gained 80 pounds with my son .. I finally got back to my before baby weight right before my wedding in May, only to find out that I was pregnant a few days before our wedding .. I never lost weight with my son.. Put it on from the get go.. I went to my 12 week check up and was down a pound ... Just weighed myself at home because my pants are getting so lose on my (already big) legs .. According to my scale at home in down 4 more pounds since my 12 week appointment 3 weeks ago. I eat and snack all day long. Breast have jumped 2 cup sizes and definitely have a baby bump already. My doctor isn't concerned and I actually go back Friday. I have been trying to eat and snack healthier because I am not trying to put 80 pounds on again. I also walk every night with my son .. So I'm not too worried !

Same boat, 16.5 weeks, I'm eating lots and have a visible bump, but not really gained anything on the scale (some mornings I'm up 2 pounds, so e mornings down 2). I'm also feeling a bit concerned about it, but my modwife isn't concerned at all, says everyone is so different and that my body will do what it needs to for this pregnancy, just focus on eatting well and staying hydrated and it will be exactly right for me (she also suggested I stop looking at those recommended weight gain charts if they were making me feel stressed, they are just an average, meaning loads of women gain more or less than whats shown).

I am 17 weeks today and have not gained any weight yet. Over the past year pre-pregnancy I had gained about 40 pounds due to anxiety medication. My Dr. told me last week that the baby is measuring great and she isn't worried about the weight! No worries for you!

TinkMonroe

I went to an appointment today and she said by 20wks I'll start to gain my weight back. I lost 10 pounds at the beginning of my pregnancy and have gained back 3 pounds. Don't panic you'll gain the weight needed.

BabyRut2015

After losing some weight due to morning sickness, I am back to my starting weight from when I got pregnant, I am 16 weeks 3 days.

melindam91

I've lost 13 lbs since we conceived. It's normal!

christyxs4

15.5 weeks and down 3lbs , I started out at 20lbs overweight ,so I am not worried. This is baby #4 and I only gained 14-20lbs in previous pregnancies and all 3 weighed between 7.5-9lbs...no worries sweetie , baby will get what it needs

mstefanovic

Don't worry! Every pregnancy and body is different. I'm 14w 5d. I had gained 3 lbs by my 10 week US, but weighed the same at my 12 and 14 week appointments. And I'm pretty sure all 3lbs are in my bra!

xllove

I'll be 17 weeks on Friday, so far I've gone from 115 lbs to 129 lbs. I blame a huge appetite and zero morning sickness lol. Baby #3

Kelley421

14 weeks and still down about 10lbs from start weight. I've been terribly I'll thought. I have a decent size bump and quite larger boobs (trips=quicker bump) the rest of me is thinner.

TinaScorpo

I'm 15w3d and I have only lost this entire time. I was in no means overweight; but the total amount so far being 18lbs. My chest has grown 2 sizes, & I have a visible baby bump too. I'm a mother/baby nurse and I work closely with OBGYNs (especially my own doctor) every day and they've all said that it could be totally normal for some women not to gain til later on in their pregnancies. All of my scans have had normal growth, baby is healthy, and I eat when I'm hungry (eating whatever I feel like eating too).

andreachristine81

@xllove - I am relieved to read your post!!! I started off pretty small too and have gained 13.5 pounds. My bra went to a 32DDD though and no morning sickness. I will worry about losing weight after my baby is born.

bspletzer

I went in for my 16 week apt and i had lost 6 pds from my 12 week apt. They honestly didnt even mention it just said to make sure im getting olenty of fluids!

lulrich84

I am 16 weeks along in my second pregnancy and have a gained 4 lbs so far. I am trying to be less worried about weight gain this time around!

jferrer1212

16wk and lost 7 lbs total over here. It's still early....if doctors are concerned they will say something.. I think we'll all catch up sooner or later :-)

ebru85

I'm at 16 weeks and have gained a whopping 12kgs, approx 26lbs. I was really active (marathon runner), now I'm lucky to workout 2 times a week. I still eat heaps, as I was doing before. But my weight gain is way too much I think

Snoopylovesbelle

I thought kg were less than pounds?

Here is the conversion

1kg is a little over 2 pounds. 

I had my 15 week appointment yesterday and am up 5 from pre-pregnancy.  I'm not super thrilled about it because I didn't start gaining til about 20 weeks with DS.  The last few months you really pack on the pounds, and for me they were pretty hard to lose even though I only gained 26 total.  But I eat pretty well and am just focused on having a healthy baby.  I can lose the weight later, even if it takes me a year and a half like it did last time!

andreachristine81

1 kg is 2.2 pounds .

Snoopylovesbelle

Ha oops...sorry guys. I was hoping it was less so you would feel better!

andreachristine81

Hahaha me too !!

ericamdorr

In the beginning I lost 5lbs due to morning sickness. But once that quit I have gain about10-12lbs since then. I am 17 weeks 2 days. With my son I gained 55lbs overall. I am hoping I don't gain quite as much because with him I was 10lbs over my normal weight in the first few weeks and this time I had just hit pre-pregnancy weight the day I found out I was prego. Currently weighing in at about 136lbs. Give or take a few during the day. I know plenty of people who have lost weight it is totally normal. My best friend did. She was already tiny and only ended up gaining about 20lbs total throught her whole pregnancy and let's just say her diet was not ideal. Blows my mind how some people's bodies work during pregnancy. Can't lie I am a little jealous. I am super worried about the coming months.

I'm 16 weeks, was not over weight to begin with and I have lost 15 pounds. My doctor is not concerned yet, but did say she would like to see some weight gain in the next few weeks. The baby is healthy and that's a good thing! Eat when you are hungry you have plenty of time to gain!

christyxs4

Im up 2lbs total so far.

juneandboo

I'm up 10 lb at almost 16 weeks and doc is fine with it. I started pretty small, at 108 lbs.
