6 months pregnant and still so small???

mrskilcrease · March 2015

Im 6 months and I barely look pregnant. I've only gained about 21 pounds. I started out at 103 . So is that bad? I eat like im supposed to. Lol

KonaCoffeeBean · March 2015

Don't you think this is a better question for your doctor?

jbatch · March 2015

With my first I didn't look pregnant until around 30 weeks.. No big deal.. 21 pounds is not a low amount to gain.. I've gained 23 or so and I feel like that is more than I would have liked at this point.. Each person carries differently and gains differently.

MamaBish · March 2015

Some people just carry small but if you are really concerned, mention it to your Dr. They will be much more aware of what is right for you and your body.

taboullio84 · March 2015

Everyone is different... Everyone carries different. Positioning of the baby also has something to do with how you "show" I only gained 15 with my first... So 21 pounds so far sounds normal to me

rolson8947 · March 2015

Your doctor will let you know if you are gaining too much or too little. I've gained 13 pounds and I'm 27 weeks and 2 days and my doctor said I was doing just fine. So I'm sure they would let you know if you were not gaining enough. Don't worry

it's all good!

ashtonmundy · March 2015

Not at all. I've only gained 16 and I'm 7 months pregnant. (Started at 120) I wouldn't be concerned but if you are I'd ask your doctor.

klkonwi · March 2015

This is downright annoying. Ask your friends or someone you know. Internet people do not care about your weight.

This. I am choosing not to add onto this for the sake of my mood. You're welcome.

Sorry can't help myself but to add on.... Are all the exclamation points necessary? You sound more excited to announce how skinny you are (no sympathy here) rather than to ask a genuine question and appropriate thread title... Like "weight concern" or "not really showing"...

I don't usually flame posts no matter how ridiculous but I guess I am just in a mood not to care about doing it.

Knottie64157109 · March 2015

Wow your easily annoyed. I hope people treat you nicer when you have a concern or question.

devyns2nd · March 2015

We also have a symptoms board that's usually an outlet for weight/showing questions, movement/no movements, even poo problems. No one here wants to hear that you started at 103 lbs. Most if us feel like whales and I personally cried when Easter dress shopping yesterday! Can you see how it's kind if insensitive to a bunch of very pregnant hormonal women?!?!

No not easily annoyed.... Just don't get the purpose of the thread title or the exclamation points... That's all.

twinky0915 · March 2015

For te love o all that's good in this world, please ask your doctor. And chill with all the exclamation points.

HayesRN13 · March 2015

21 pounds is good for how far along you are, no worries your doc would have said something if they were worried. I've only gained 6 but he's measures fine (big actually) and I am ALWAYS eating

HoosOnFirst · March 2015

There are also millions of thread about this in the past week. So yeah, expect some snark from this group of you don't bother reading before posting.

Also a tiny momma here. Sorry I come by it genetically for those who are upset by others weight. I doubt she meant it as a haha.

Interesting. What's your interpretation of the "lol" at the end of OP's post?

ElRuby · March 2015

I don't think the snark has anything to do with people's weight... I am far from overweight and am rolling my eyes at the absurdity of this post given the joking way she asked it... I am not assuming people annoyed by it are jealous of "skinny moms" ... This question was so similar to the typical "omg I am so fat" comment a skinny girl makes just as an opportunity to talk about how skinny she is...

mrskilcrease · March 2015

Oh my gosh people. Im sorry that my overly good mood made y'all mad. You forget that I am pregnant and hormonal as well. And I wasn't trying to be snarky? I just didnt know if not gaining a lot was good bad or what. I can't help how small I am or how big you are. And the "Lol" I guess that bothered you guys so much was because I feel silly not knowing this simple information. But I figured that's what the community here was all about . How am I supposed to feel when you made it seem like being small is bad? Look ladies Thank you for those who helped and much apologies to those who thought I was being....uhm insensitive I suppose. Im just a Happy person that's Why I said Lol! And I am not ashamed of my body, so I don't think being Happy is a problem?

mrskilcrease · March 2015

And I wasn't trying to show off or talk about how skinny I am? Im skinny. That's not my fault. I just know that I hadn't gained alot. im new to being a mom. So I was curious.

21 pounds isn't "not a lot," so you can quit with that shizzle? We're so happy you're skinny? And that you got the chance to tell us about how you're so skinny again? This was definitely the most reasonable place to find out something important like if your pregnancy weight gain is healthy? Congrats?

mrskilcrease · March 2015

God are you like out to get me? Or just mad? I wasn't trying to be like that. Im just saying it's pretty rude to act like that when all I did was ask if it was normal. Alot of mom's post on here about everything. And you guys act like this is a crazy post about inappropriate things. I was just curious? So maybe you shouldn't take it so personal?

mrskilcrease · March 2015

There for those who had an issue with the title of my post. It's fixed. Thanks. hope you guys feel better . And if your going to post on here at least be adult about it

mrskilcrease · March 2015

And I didn't say 21 was alot I asked if it was normal. LOL

) OP, you are exactly what this board was missing, thank you.

mrskilcrease · March 2015

I didn't say they had to care. But that's the point of this community is so that women and moms can ask about and discuss questions topics or concerns about pregnancy. so stop being negative thanks:)))!!!!!!!

mrskilcrease · March 2015

Your sarcasm is cute.

HoosOnFirst · March 2015

Did you see that there were multiple threads about this same exact subject before you posted your question? And that every time the answer is: no one can tell you what is normal because each one of us is different? We DO have a community here. If you are a newer poster, please be courteous and take a few minutes to look around before posting - it's really appreciated.

Mommaswizz · March 2015

I care less about your humble bragging and more about the fact that you missed the extremely recent thread regarding weight gain. And yes you most definitely do not understand the point of this community. If you did you probably would have been aware that this discussion has been beaten to a pulp this week and you could have easily read that there are dozens upon dozens of other women who haven't gained much and are barely showing. You're a poster too lazy to google or use the amazing search function on this board so you decide to shine the spotlight on your ignorance and complete and utter lack of common sense of how the Internet works.

Putting my flame thrower away. Rant over

missjenniebean · March 2015

You should probably stick to asking your doctor, who would know better than any of us.

Yea I planned on asking my doc but I can't see them till Monday and I figured what the heck I'll put it up on here. Bad idea I guess :P

KaLikeAWind · March 2015

Whoa! @Mommaswizz went IN! =D>

OP, @hoodoll82 has hit it on the head. Just by cruising the front page you could have stumbled across numerous threads on the subject of weight, all of them basically saying the same thing - if your Dr isn't concerned then roll with it. If you had gone to the 2nd page there would have been yet more posts on weight. AND - another recurring theme you would have seen is that each woman and each pregnancy is different. Another woman who started at 102 could have gained the same poundage you have and her result may be unhealthy while yours is not.

I seriously try to be anti-flame, but I can see why it happens. What's really effing frustrating about this whole thing is JUST YESTERDAY we were still posting on a whole supportive weight thread that you apparently flew right past in your eagerness to talk about yourself. Geez, now I'm flaming. Please, just next time nose around a little bit?

alfnaround · March 2015

Alf thinks that since you are so skinny you should eat some more cats.

ElRuby · March 2015

So was I the only one who was lucky enough to be scolded by OP on my wall? Geez my post wasn't even that bad and she called me out as having a problem with people who are "not fat".... I didn't realize everyone else on here that I have no problems with was fat? You learn new things every day! Someone please help me to understand her logic and need to clog up my wall with that ridiculous post that I have to see every time I look at my personal wall? And was totally irrelevant to my thread response!

mrskilcrease · March 2015

Because I have seen your comments on multiple women's posts about how they should be posting those kinds of questions or hating on them when they do. No body was trying to do anything wrong other then ask some advice or just to hear if others had find through the Same thing. I did look through the other posts before I did this but I figured even if I asked on my own it wouldn't Be a problem. It's like you all are so bored with your life that you have to go and be negative as crap on people's posts. If you don't like the post don't comment on it. You think it's a stupid post keep going. Why take the time to put someone down just for asking a question. Like I have said before. Let's just be adults here you don't like it don't comment.

ElRuby · March 2015

Pretty sure I haven't ever commented on a weight post because I don't really have information being not a medical doctor.... I responded to this due to the thread title and general insincerity of it. But thanks for stalking my posts.

mrskilcrease · March 2015

I was just on the no flame Friday one and you were really rude to a woman who talked about how she hadn't gained weight. Im not stalking nor do I care about your life or What you do in it. But from now on if you don't like my stuff stay off of it. It doesn't do you or me any good. It's childish. I don't need your negative vibes or anyone's for that matter all over my pages:) have a wonderful day and try to be a little more positive I promise it helps ;;)

ElRuby · March 2015

Oh yeah we were talking about your post

so it was still about the thread title... Not the weight thing
