If your doctor isn't worried you shouldn't be either. There have been countless threads on weight gain on here (use the search function). What is boils down to is that everyone is different and unless you start out decently underweight and then don't gain weight that's a valid reason to be concerned. If your BMI before you got pregnant (you didn't include your height so I couldn't calculate it) is on the higher end of normal or overweight then not gaining much isn't concerning.

If you are that worried call your doctor!!

Please use the search feature. I have been eating like a horse and have only gained 4 pounds at 18.5 weeks, lots of people aren't gaining and it's fine. Why would you trust Internet strangers and not your doctor?

A lot is happening... I'm sure you'll continue to gain weight

I'm at 23 weeks 2 days, and I eat like a horse, as well. And I've only gained about 2 pounds, in the past 20 weeks. And I'm a VERY small Gal, too! I'm at 110 pounds, currently. And my OB has told me I'm one of the most healthiest soon to be moms he has seen at my weight, and weight gain! Even the Little One in there is as healthy as can be! So, I wouldn't worry much, even though each person is different. If you doctor says you're good, I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm 28 weeks and only gained 2 lbs so far and the doctors aren't concerned babies fine and growing how he should.. I was gettin sick daily, but once on meds I kept food down, and then started eating clean and super healthy and lost weight and finally gained two pounds.. Don't be worry you have plenty of time to gain weight
