Has anyone else not gained weight yet??

Julymama714 · January 2014

I'm almost 13 weeks, never had morning sickness or vomiting to cause me to lose weight, yet still haven't gained! My stomach feels huge by the end of the day, but I can't figure out why I'm not even gaining a pound. Anyone else?!

iris427 · January 2014

That's not unusual. I have gained a few this time, but I don't think I had by 12/13 weeks with my first yet. Don't worry, the pounds will be arriving soon

cookieinva · January 2014

I have not gained on the scale any really but my body has definitely changed. The weight will come; it is perfectly normal for weight gain to vary over time so none or little now and lots later. I wouldn't worry if your ob isn't worried and you have healthy eating habits.

*LrCg* · January 2014

Weight is not an indication of a healthy pregnancy. My midwife never weighs patients. Instead she asks for a run down of what you're eating. Just eat healthy and you'll be fine.

as1baby · January 2014

I'm 14 weeks, two separate occasions of belly issues/flu caused me to loose 10 ish pounds in the first 7 weeks... weight has stayed the same since then, still about 5 pounds under my prepreg weight, all gained in the belly. Dr. said he wouldn't be concerned about weight gain until about 20 weeks in.

alygoo615 · January 2014

I don't think I gained my first pound until 16-20 weeks last time. I also lost a few lbs at the beginning, but still. Everyone is different. As long as you're eating well, the weight (or lack of) doesn't matter as much.

Julymama714 · January 2014

Thanks ladies! Guess this is all I needed to hear

AnotherPreggo · January 2014

I've lost 5lbs as of my last appointment, but I attribute that to nausea. Very normal to not have gained anything at this point.

emy730 · January 2014

Yep, I haven't gained a pound. My OB was not concerned at all and told me that as long as I was eating and drinking plenty of water, I would be just fine for now.

klynne924 · January 2014

I've lost 12 pounds since finding out I was pregnant. I had the flu and lost 6 pounds in 2 days. I finally have an appetite after passing the nauseous stage, but no matter how much I eat I just haven't put any weight back on. My last appointment the NP wasn't worried about the 8 pound loss (at that point) knowing that I had been sick and wasn't trying to lose the weight. She said I'll gain it back eventually.

Kristen0705 · January 2014

I lost 8 lb in the first ten weeks. I was eating too, just very small meals more frequently. Now that I'm in my 14th week, I still have not gained any weight. My OB wasn't too worried about it at my last appointment and said I should start gaining some any time now. One of my friends didn't gain any weight until she was 20 weeks.

sunflower717 · January 2014

I'm still losing. I'm not worried, I didn't start gaining till like 15 weeks with my first

elishavandusen · January 2014

I've lost 7 pounds between week 9 & 12.

livkight · January 2014

I eat so much all day and never had ms, but none of my clothes are tight and I don't appear to have gained weight (I don't own a scale anymore since I have an ED in my background). I guess it will come in it's own time!

AutumnBonfire · January 2014

I lost a few pounds in the beginning because I didn't want to eat anything. I'm not losing anymore, but I'm not gaining either. With DS, I started gaining weight right from the start. I'm not worried.

mamakiss · January 2014

Nope. I lost 10 pounds first from nausea/ms and now I've gained maybe 2 of that back.

rlinksman · January 2014

I know everyone is saying that same thing. I haven't gained either. I feel like my work pants are a little more snug today. I can't copy and paste this from the book i have but the OB at my office published this great book and it explains the when , how and where you gain weight really well. I have this on my phone and its a great resource. https://www.amazon.com/1000-Questions-About-Your-Pregnancy/dp/0615491596 I was with a friend that is 20 weeks yesterday and she is just now showing and in maternity wear

TG07 · January 2014

I'm still down a few pounds. My last appointment my doctor said she would like to see a gain at the next appointment but wasn't too concerned.

kmawb · January 2014

Not gaining yet, but for a channge I didn't lose any more weight this past week (although I'm still down 8-9lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight).

drunkenhandstand · January 2014

I wish!

BettyBoop86 · January 2014

I am still down about 7 pounds from pre pregnancy weight.....

Myanswer true · January 2014

I'm still down at least 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I had really awful, all day MS from before I knew I was pregnant until about two weeks ago, and my appetite is still not all that high. I've been able to keep down my prenatals, so the doctor isn't concerned. However, it does make me nervous, since my blump finally went away and now I don't look a bit pregnant. :-SS

Csmama123 · January 2014

I'm down 15lbs!! I'm not having much ms, guess I'm not eating enough

MamaWils · January 2014

I'm 12w2d and only gained a about 3 lbs. I'm trying to keep it at a slow pace so I'm doing good I think.

Saritaota614 · January 2014

I'm right there with you. I actually have lost a pound or two.
I guess changing my eating habits is the culprit, bc I've not been sick or had any aversions...

Lindahl13 · January 2014

I'm 10w4d and down 10 lbs. I don't see it coming back anytime soon. Somehow even with the wt loss I still have a blump which is reassuring.

Dream123456778 · January 2014

My clothes are tighter but I've lost a few pounds. Its slightly disconcerting, but baby is healthy and doctor isn't concerned.

Fletch82 · January 2014

Same for me, no change in weight & clothes fit the same. However, I do feel bloated.

PenelopeSnuz77 · January 2014

I have a blump, but I just hanging out at my normal weight. I don't own a scale so I only really ever weigh myself once in a while when I go to yoga.

ashtonblair123 · January 2014

You don't usually gain much first tri, if any. I've lost 10, personally.

biglewzer · January 2014

I don't look when I'm weighed at the doctors. I don't think I've gained much, if any, but my body has morphed.

rattlecanqueen · January 2014

I've only gained 3-5 lbs, depending in the day. My body seems to hold onto everything when I'm pregnant. I'll take it, with my son, I gained like 10 lbs in the first tri. But I also ate like a freaking horse.

loulou1212 · January 2014

I haven't gained anything yet. I had with my first, but I've been a little more careful with what I'm eating this time. I'm sure I'll gain later.

jrockwood · January 2014

I'm in the same situation. I weighed in at 147 at my first appointment (9 weeks), then 144 at 13 weeks, and now (15 weeks tomorrow)....141. I was sick at the very beginning, but from week 12-now, I've been eating a lot and feeling great...I have no idea where the weight has gone, because I am showing quite a lot and have been wearing maternity clothes for a few weeks. I'm just hoping that when I finally do start gaining, that it's gradual and doesn't make up for lost time by packing on all at once!

keshupe29 · January 2014

According to my scale I have gained 2 pounds. But my body has changed. Things just are starting to fit differently. And my blump is growing. But baby's healthy!

Ecomom17 · January 2014

Yep, pretty much the same. No m/s or nausea, actually gained a bit earlier on then lost about 6 lbs. I think I'm just starting to put on a pound or two now. Still in regular clothes. I'm DYING to get the bump and wear my maternity clothes! This is the same as last time. I was 16 wks before I started showing at all. Long torso helps.

thecatsmeow1972 · January 2014

I'm holding. However my belly has grown to the point that I am in my first round of maternity pants. My OB prefers for me to not stress about weight gain but said to make it a point to make healthy choices.

Dutch Apple Pie · January 2014

I haven't gained anything and it has got me a bit worried. Since I had a gastric bypass I am already at risk of having a low weight baby and giving birth early.

Athenanolen · January 2014

I've technically gained like two pounds but also gained two sizes!! Hate it
