No weight gain???

eclipselova4eva · February 2012

I had m/s throughout the first trimester and had food aversions to just about everything (still do). I'm worried because I haven't gained any weight yet. In fact, I've lost a few pounds and can't seem to put it back on.

Anyone else in this boat?

I am 14 weeks plus 3 days and I am still down weight from pre-pregnancy. I am not worried about it, I am sure during the third trimester I will want those extra few pounds to gain.

I ate like a pig during my first trimester, had no m/s or food aversions, just was always hungry. I haven't gained any weight yet. (I'm pretty thin to begin with.) My doctor hasn't said anything about it. I figure as long as I'm eating when I'm hungry, my body will do what it needs to do, including gaining weight when I need it.

I'm still down from my pre pregnancy weight. Our baby is growing ahead of schedule. I'm not concerned and my dr hasn't said anything about it.

In the first trimester I lost about 7 lbs. Now I seem to be gaining again. My doctor said my weight is perfect and I don't have to worry about it.

I haven't gained, I'm actually down 1-2lbs. I'm not worried about it because I eat healthy and I know the baby is getting what it needs. Plus we're still pretty early.

With my son I gained 19lbs total. Less than 5 lbs of that was in 3rd tri. I didn't gain anything the last 6 weeks and I was still eating a lot (but nothing crazy). My dr wasn't concerned because he said the weight was just evening out. I still ended up having a healthy 9lb baby. Just saying it can go either way, I wouldn't worry about it.

I lost 25 pounds during the first trimester and have only gained 4 ounces in the 2nd. As long as your Doctor isn't concerned I wouldn't be either. I'm sure it'll creep up later on.

I think it really depends on your pre-preg weight and other factors. I was somewhat average/thin to begin with, so I didn't loose any weight, but didn't gain it quickly either. I gained about 1-2 lbs in the first trimester, and even at my 16 week appt, had only gained 4 lbs total. However, now at 21 weeks, I am up 7 lbs.

From what PP said, seems like you're in the "norm".

I'm 16 weeks and still have nausea and terrible heartburn. I've lost almost ten pounds since conceiving and was really worried about it.

I asked my doctor at my appointment last week and he said not to be so worried. He said that lots of women lose weight their first trimester because of morning sickness and food aversions and to try and eat a little bit at a time, all day long (he called it grazing). He said if I've lost or stayed at the same weight at my next appointment (March 7) he'll take a closer look at it, but told me not to freak out because the baby is developing normally.

Have you tried protein shakes?

I lost 20lbs in 1st tri from bad m/s. I have only gained back 5lbs so I am still -15lbs but the bany is measuring ahead and healthy so I am not worried aboit it.

I am 20 weeks tomorrow and have been sick since week 8. I am down 12lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. My doctor said not to worry about it, the baby is developing normal and everything is fine.

I'm 19 weeks and down one pound and my dr is thrilled! I had some weight to lose prepregnncy, so I think that's why, but she is not concerned. You'll gain eventually and the baby will get what it needs from your body!

I lost weight and I didn't even have any morning sickness. I just finally got back to pre-pregnancy weight at 18 weeks.

By the end I still had a healthy 30 lb gain... some people just gain late.

I'm 23 weeks and had the worst ms from weeks 6 to about week 18. I lost about 20 lbs during that time but the baby is growing accordingly. I found out that I gained a few pounds recently so I'm happy about that. I'm just trying to eat as much as I can.

I'm 18 weeks and haven't gained, haven't lost yet. I've fluctuated a bit but it seems to even out. With my first pregnancy with DS I didn't gain anything or start showing until I was 6 months, most of my weight was gained in the last 2 so I'm not worried
