Hi guys...I'm 17 weeks 4 days and I haven't gained a pound....I lost 6 due to morning sickness but only gained 4 back....so im still 2 pounds short of my pre-pregnancy weight. How normal is this? How much have you all gained.... #-o
Re: No weight gain...
here you go.

-New member innocently asks a question that has been asked a dozen times before
-members who have been around ask her to use the search feature to find the answer to her question, trying to help her out and point out to her there's an easier way
-new member is usually offended and accuses old members of being unwelcoming
-white knights come in throwing around terms like "mean girls" and "bullies" and get everybody fired up
-new girl usually decides she'll just leave and announces this dramatically
-all hell breaks loose
-by this point helpful members who have been around get banned
because others get easily offended
We know you meant no harm, but more often than not this is what happens when someone who hasn't been around a lot posts a repetitive question. I hope you understand why it can be frustrating and don't take offense and get to know the board to better your experience here

Do y'all not have doctors that tell you when they're concerned??
Just trying to make your day easier, I think you're working too hard and that's why you haven't gained any weight.
You might not like what we have to say at first, but we're pretty awesome if you make any attempt to blend into the community.
When you sign up for an account on here, you get a message from The Bump saying there is a 72 hour waiting period and that you should look around and read previous posts before jumping in. That includes a sticky at the top of page 1 asking you to use the search feature before asking questions that have been answered 500 times. The number of people who don't follow this very basic courtesy is astounding and it gets old for those of us who have been around and followed the instructions.
We very much welcome active participation by those willing to follow the guidelines established by The Bump. If you are willing to do that, awesome! If not, we may not be the community for you. Just a heads up. :-)
If your doctor isn't worried I wouldn't stress. With my first pregnancy I didn't really gain much and it wasn't until the 3rd trimester. This time I've lost about 20lbs so far. It's different every time
No need to bring that drama back over here. We are all just over it.
Lmao ok have a good night
You have made your point. People are having a bad day so enough. Go ahead and call me out if you want but I'm done. I haven't even been here for all of it. Enough is enough right now please let it die. Everyone is high strung. The Internet is a difficult place to pick up on tone, meaning, etc. but you've now tried to stir the pot on two pages. We understand your point but sometimes we have to let things go. I'm included... Tempers need to fade on both sides. But this needs to stop.
Sorry op that is all I will be posting on here and I'm sorry your post has been high jacked. It seems like a rough day has occurred.
Let's please do our best to support each other. Understand that no one on here is intentionally trying to be a biatch... I've lurked long enough to know that the sense of humour can be taken wrong but people are blowing out of proportion.
I wish all nothing but sweet dreams and happy mornings
