Why am I gaining so little weight?

eevie · March 2012

I gained 6 pounds my first trimester and then normal for about 10 pounds T2. But recently my weight gain has slowed to less than a pound per week. Is this normal?

I think pretty much anything is normal. I'm due 3 days after you and I've only gained 18 pounds total so far.

Everyone's different. I only gained about 18 with my first pregnancy and will probably gain about 20-22 with this one. If your doctor is fine with your weight gain, your probably ok.

I've gained a total of 18 lbs, only 4 of those in the last trimester. And I'll be indices next week. If your Dr isn't worried, don't be! Enjoy the fact that you'll have less to lost post baby!

I have only gained about 8lbs total so far. The baby's heartrate is always perfect and I'm measuring right on track so they aren't concerned at this point.

ditto pp. as long as the baby is looking good no need to be concerned, I only gained 9 lbs with dd2, I started out on the heavier side and basically was just eating better while pregnant so I just never really gained, I gained nothing at all until after 30 weeks. it was so nice to come home from the hospital weighing less then when I got pregnant! This time I started at a healthier weight and so far I am up 17lbs. I actually lost a pound from 2 weeks ago til last week
