Weight gain

Hi Ladies...haven't been on here in awhile but I have a quick question to see if anyone is in the same boat as me. Before I found out I was pregnant, I was about 10-15 lbs overweight. Nothing crazy but a little extra cushion. I'm at 16 weeks now and I have lost 3 lbs...gained nothing! I have a visible belly bump. Is that strange? Anyone else have this going on?

    A lot of people have experienced this, try the search function. Weight loss is not uncommon in early pregnancy due to morning sickness and food aversions and often those already overweight can gain less weight or lose it if they are eating healthier than they were pre pregnancy. If you're concerned, call your OB. As a medical professional, they are much more qualified to give you answers.

  • I'm exactly the same. I was about 11 lb over my normal weight when I fell pregnant. I'm now 20 weeks and am 2 lb less (but still 9lb over my normal weight). I have a very obvious bump and don't seem to have lost any anywhere! I'm guessing baby has just used up some of that extra fat I was carrying! xx
  • I've not gained anything. I'm flirting in this weird 5lb range depending on bloat and stuff. As long as your baby is growing and happy, no worries.
