No weight gain

i just moved out of state so I do not yet have insurance to go to the doc and won't for a while. My last appointment was at 21wks and they only checked the heartbeat and it was good. My weight before was 100lbs and I quickly gained 5lbs. I am 27wks now and still 115lbs. Is that normal? With my son I consistently gained weight totally around 40lbs in the end.

    It doesn't sound like that is normal for your body. Everyone is different and each pregnancy can be different though. This is my second pregnancy as well and my weight gain has been pretty similar to my first one. I don't want to alarm you but I would probably have the same worries as you if this pregnancy seemed drastically different. Are you doing anything differently this pregnancy that would explain the difference? More active (I mean... obviously your taking care of your first child so that's more active by itself!) Eating differently?

     

  • With my first pregnancy I gained a whopping 60 pounds!  >:P This pregnancy I am 28 weeks and I have only gained 7. I weigh more than you do though. I was only 90 some pounds when I was pregnant with my first, way under weight. This time I started at 160 pounds which is overweight by like 20 pounds. My OB is not worried about it. He did give the comment that low weight gain can cause low birth weight, but they aren't worried about it yet because I am gaining, just slowly.

  • When I got pregnant I was 220, by week 16 or so I was 213, im now week 29 and I'm at 221. We are all different, my doctor says as long as I'm eating right the baby will take what he needs and I'll get the rest. All my blood work and test results come back good. Just make sure you are eating right, by that I mean balanced meals.
  • I'm sorry I miss typed. I quickly gained 15 and have not gained any since probably week 18.
