I havent had any MS and my appetites been pretty much the same with a few added snacks. I guess im lucky. But i was wondering if anyone else experienced no weight gain by this point in pregnancy, should i be concerned?

    I haven't had major MS this pregnancy and I haven't gained anything either but I'm starting off a bit heavier so I'm only "supposed" to gain like 11lbs. With my first I was concerned about not gaining but my midwife said not to worry you'll gain when you need to!

    With my first I didn't gain weight until 20wks. With this one I've actually lost weight. It wasn't due to morning sickness. I was like 10lbs up from where I was when I had my first (she's only 1) so I think subconsciously I just wanted to lose weight? I don't know, it's not healthy, my doc is on me about it now, but I think by my 20wk apt I'll be up again. My doc wants me to gain 5lbs in the next 4 weeks. We will see...

    So, my point is I wouldn't worry about weight gain, everybody gains differently and in my experience it normally comes once you hit the half way point.

    Also, if you do a search, others have asked about weight gain and there might be some helpful insight in those threads too.

    I've actually lost three pounds and I started out a little underweight, but i did have pretty bad MS.  My doctor isn't worried as long as the baby is doing well.

    Totally nothing to worry about. I think movies and sitcoms have brainwashed us FTMs into thinking unless our pregnancy is taking over every aspect of our lives, something must be wrong. I gained a single pound in the first tri and I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 3 pounds total. Also no MS. An uneventful pregnancy is a lucky thing to have.

    I started off small.. 115lbs. Had horrible morning sickness and still gained 5lbs or so. Don't stress it we're all different and thats just less lbs for you to worry about later

    My MS lasted 6 days and I've gained 11 lbs so far. My dr wasn't concerned, but I wasn't too happy. With DD, I only gained 30 my whole pregnancy and wanted to stay around that with this pregnancy as well

    I am 14w4d and I have lost about 8 lbs so far. I didn't have any extreme MS, but I have little to no appetite. My doctor told me not to worry!

    I'm 15 weeks 5 days and I haven't gained any weight- I actually lost 10 lbs in the first trimester due to severe morning sickness. Everyone is different :) I'm still aiming for the 25-35 lb total weight gain my OB gave me, but I'm assured that will start happening as baby grows and my appetite returns.

    With my first, I didn't gain any in the first trimester. In fact, I lost 3lbs. No MS. My Dr gave me a side eye. But I attributed it to the fact that I started eating really healthy, stopped drinking, and started a mild workout plan. I didn't have very much to lose out I probably would have lost more. Anyway, I gained plenty later. And ate my fair share of junk (delicious) food.

    Edited to add: I have no idea this time because I don't own a scale at home and had my first and only appointment at 12 weeks due to a change in insurance.

    I'd ask your doctor whether they are concerned. Some people gain a lot, some people actually lose weight; it just depends on an individual basis. Personally I haven't gained much, but I'm not worried about it. My OB only wants me to gain 25-30 lbs, mostly after 20 wks.

    I didn't gain anything with my first until 28 weeks. Not a single pound and I was not eating that well at all (oops). Unfortunately from then to the end it just piled on! I was really upset as I'd kidded myself i could get to the end with very minimal gain. This pregnancy I started 15lbs heavier than the last one (didn't lose all the baby weight!!) and the same seems to be happening as I haven't gained a thing. Now I'm dreading the last part though! :(

    I am 16 weeks tomorrow and have gained about 6-7 lbs. Everybody gains differently and you can never compare yourself. As lomg as your doctor isn't concerned you're fine :)

    I'll be 17wks on Wednesday and I started at 122. Down to 117. Then back to 118. Maybe by 20 weeks I'll be back at my original so I can start gaining then. :P


    With DD in 2011, I started at 103 and ended at 131. I was back down to 103 three weeks later, but later gained weight when I stopped smoking.

    The two pregnancies compared; completely different in every way possible!

    13w, no morning sickness, and have admittedly been eating a diet mostly consisting of pasta and popcorn (I WANT to eat well, but my body shudders at the idea of healthy food right now!), and I have yet to gain an ounce. Normally I'd have gained a couple of pounds after a couple months of eating this badly!
