    I just gave birth to my first child and only gained a total of 12lb.  He was born at 38weeks and weighed 8lb 1oz. I think as long as you ultrasounds are looking good, and your belly is measuring in the normal range, don't worry.

    It's normal. Some women don't gain any weight or lose weight. I'm also 30 weeks and have only gained 13 lbs. One month I actually lost 4 lbs instead of gaining any. As long as the baby is growing on track, it's fine. It just means you're loosing weight as the baby gains weight. :)

    Is it normal--not necessarily, but it's also not necessarily a problem.  I wouldn't worry as long as everything else looks normal.  In general, most people gain way more than they need to when pregnant.  (I'm overweight and according to most Drs. I should not have gained any weight at all.)
