I'm 15 weeks now and Ive only gained two pounds...I'm a bit chunky but n not fat and I have no bump. I don't know if I should be worried or not....my drs have been so focused on the mono Di issues...I feel like they haven't noticed.  ill ask next week but any advice in the meantime.

    If your babies are growing normally then I personally wouldnt be worried. I am 18w5d and have only gained 4lbs. I mentioned this to my OB and he said as long as the boys are growing and not measuring small he is fine with it.

    I was very small to begin pp and at 24 weeks have only gained 13 pounds. Doctor has had no concern. The babies seem to measuring right on target. I have an appointment on Monday and will ask again. But so far, he has not been concerned.

    At 21 weeks I had only gained 1lb, my babies were good size at birth and no one ever worried.  The most important thing is that you are eating healthy, not the weight gain.

    I didn't start gaining much until about then and I was a little worried but it has started to pick up now a lot (in fact I'm starting to worry in the opposite direction!).  I think first tri I maybe gained 4 lbs and now at 21 weeks I think I'm about

    Don't worry at all, as long as you are getting good nutrition, so are they.  I lost weight in the first trimester from morning sickness, and then at about 14 weeks started gaining about 3 lbs a week!  I started at 5'2" 105 and ended up gaining 5

    I agree, don't worry!  You'll be surprised at how fast you can gain the weight once you start :)  I started off at 118 (5'3"), lost 2 lbs in the first trimester due to morning sickness.  I don't know that I started really gaining until 15-1

    I lost weight being so nauseous in the beginning. I kept wondering where my bump was.... Just wait at 28 weeks when you are starting to get big and your feet are swelling you will miss having no bump! In the end you really get big!
