Zero pounds

2ndturkey · December 2013

So I haven't gained any weight which isn't a problem I'm over weight to begin with. Did anyone not gain any weight through out their entire pregnancy?? I'm just wondering if it's possible it would be awesome for me if I didn't lol

I've always gained weight. Like 40 pounds, and I'm active. I'm not sure it would be possible to not gain any weight. I mean with the baby, the extra blood volume, the placenta and the swelling ; I'm pretty sure one is bound to gain something.

Most of the weight gain comes later in the pregnancy so I wouldn't take this as an indicator you won't gain any weight. Have you discussed with your doctor what they would recommend you gain? If you are overweight to begin with they probably would recommend less but I've never heard anything less than 10-15 pounds for a recommendation.

@2ndturkey, I, too am on my phone. At the bottom of the first page of posts is a magnifying glass. I searched for weight gain and found three posts pertaining to your topic.

I haven't gained any weight either, maybe 3 pounds, I'm 15 weeks today. I too am overweight, so I'm already paranoid about gaining weight as it is. But I've not been working out like I was so I'm convinced that I've been losing muscle and what I had has all turned to mush...I'm sure it'll catch up eventually.

This. I was overweight to start, and both doctors at my practice said that ideally I would gain about 15. And a little more than that was fine. (60+ would be a problem, I'm sure.) They certainly weren't suggesting that I maintain my weight. Although again, they said maintaining that number -- or even losing a few -- during the first trimester would be the best possible thing.

I lost 8 pounds and still am not gaining any, but my doctor isn't worried about it!

.As long as baby is the right size your doing everything right, now two pregnancies are the same so everyone will have different answers of if they gained weight. When your already overweight you tend to gain less, likely you will pick up a few pounds those last few months. But for now eat right and do what you know your suppose to. That baby is just fine and so are you.

My baby is kinda fat and i haven't gained an ounce this whole time.

I too am overweight. My last pg I gained 22#. I gained my first pound at around 20 weeks. I do know some people who are "obese" that did not gain any weight because they were healthy during pregnancy so technically they actually lost weight. Please note that pregnancy is not a time to diet though. It is a time to eat healthy and take your vitamins.

I do know of people to have list up to 30 lbs. if u are over weight it can be ok. Talk to your dr though. Your labs will show up negative if you are starving your body. I have only lost weight but gave up a lot of bad things. Snacks everyday at lunch are replaced with chocolate milk. Cookies replaced with veggies and fruit. But I have gobbled down carbs so that amazes me. My snacks are fat free gummy snacks.

If baby is good your good.
