Worried about weight gain

caseyeva85 · December 2010

I have only gained 2lb and I eat all the time!!! I have had an eating disorder for many years but the moment I got pregnant I have been eating everything. Why am I not gaining anything?

I've only gained 5 lb and I've been eating a lot of holiday baking on top of my usual meals.

I think your body does what it wants to a certain extent. Keep eating well, and maybe add a bedtime snack (I like cereal). Don't worry until your doctor tells you to worry.

If you are eating properly and taking your vitamins, I wouldn't worry. Women gain weight differently throughout preganancy. You should be fine! Ask your doctor for some suggestions if you start to think it's a problem! Smile !

Tomgirlz would be so ashamed though, 2lbs! ~ Sorry if you didn't get that, read a few posts down!

I have only gained 5 lbs, but my doc is not worried. I say, if your doc is fine with how you're progressing, don't stress.

I'm only up 6-7 lbs, but I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. I guess my body will cue me in when bebe needs to start really gaining weight. I did add a bedtime snack and that made me feel a little better. Cereal all the way!

I have only gained 2-3 lbs so far, but feel like I already had quite a bit of padding from day one. I am only concerned if the baby is growing on track. So as pp stated, if the docs are worried, just try to focus on eating well.

I hadn't gained any weight until last week (week 20) yet my bump and boobs were obviously bigger...now however I have gained 5 pounds in two weeks, so don't fret....your body will take care of the baby and when you need to gain, you will!
