Weight gain at 19 weeks?

in 2nd Trimester

Has anyone had no weight gain at 19 weeks? I am starting to get concerned since my net gain is zero pounds. At my 16 week appt, the nurse said the baby was growing so that's all I should be concerned about but still, after the holidays I thought I'd for sure put on weight. And I'm not trying to diet or anything.

I guess I will find out more this afternoon since it's our big u/s.

    For that appt (it was our big U/S) the nurse got me  losing 4lbs. Lord knows how, I didn't feel like I lost. But I took her word for it.

    At 17 weeks I was still down a pound, but this is my 2nd & I was a bit fluffy to begin with.  Not trying to diet, but I am eating better and eating less b/c I can no longer gorge myself.  Just keep track of it & listen to your Dr.  Believe me, you really start to gain in the last half!

    I have a few weeks to go. But I'm at negative four pounds since my first visit. I have had no pregnancy symptoms. So it's not due to food aversions or m/s. Actually, I haven't had a huge appetite, though. Maybe it's that I'm trying to eat healthier? I don't know. My doctor wasn't too concerned at the last appt. As long as I'm eating when I'm hungry and the baby is growing fine. It takes what it needs.

    If your baby is growing according to the OB, I'd try not to worry. A couple weeks ago I had only gained about 2lbs at 17ish weeks and the dr. said I was doing great with my weight gain. He said most weight should come on after the 5th and 6th months. That being said, I'm now 19w and have put on a total of 8lbs! You'll put it on at your own pace.

    Thanks, ladies...I'm chalking it up to eating healthier and not drinking wine (which leads to more cheese too). The big u/s will tell us a lot more but it's good to hear this is somewhat normal.

    I lost 11 lbs during the first 2 trimesters with my DS. I gained a good bit back in the last 2 months of the 3rd tri. My Drs were okay with it since the baby was still growing. =)

    As long as your doctor says your baby is growing normally, I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone and every pregnancy is different. I'm sure you'll start gaining weight soon enough.

    ?

    If the doctor isn't worried I wouldn't be either.?

    I had only gained a pound at 17 weeks (I never lost any either) and my baby was measuring at about 52-53 percentile at my Level II. My doc said he did want to see some weight gain by 20 weeks but was more interested in how the baby was measuring. I am getting another ultrasound at 24 weeks to check growth as a precaution because he said my weight gain is still on the low side according to my doctor.?
