No weight gain?

dcheard · November 2015

Has anyone else gained no weight yet!? I am 14 weeks pregnant and have a bump and way bigger boobs but my weight has stayed the same??

Vivian0809 · November 2015

I'm down 4 pounds at 13 weeks. I wasn't dealing with sickness, either. I had already gained at least 5+ with my other 2 pregnancies at this point. I guess every pregnancy is different.

mrslampert · November 2015

My boobs and stomach have clearly gotten bigger, but haven't put on a pound. I wasn't big to begin with (5'10", 150lbs), so I anticipated gaining between the middle to higher end of what they recommend each trimester. I'm 13w6d now

missgemz · November 2015

I'm 13w4d and I haven't gained a pound either. My boobs and butt have gotten bigger and I have a blump, not sure if it's all baby, lol. But no weight gain yet, and I'm not complaining

You ladies are lucky!!

GemLei · November 2015

Haven't gained yet. Lost 4, then gained back 2 so still under. Never had morning sickness but eating habits are very picky nowadays. Last pregnancy I only gained 8lbs total which seemed to be all my body needed. Hoping to put on at least 15lbs this time around.

kristenterkelsen · November 2015

I'm pregnant with twins and lost 15lbs during the first trimester thanks to morning sickness that lasted all day. I've gained 10 of it back but I'm still -5 from my starting weight. I'm 16 weeks tomorrow!

I had lost a few lbs at my last dr appointment (12 weeks) which I honestly think was a loss of muscle from not really working out because I was so tired. I had a teeny tiny bump and gigantic boobs at the time. I'm back to working out now and feeling better and eating so I'm sure it will start to pile on. My doc said it was normal.

seasalt123 · November 2015

I haven't gained anything and I never had morning sickness. I'm 16 weeks. I'm not concerned and neither are my midwives. I eat plenty and my body will start gaining when it builds something that weighs enough to warrant it.

TunieBee · November 2015

I've gained a pound but NOTHING fits and my belly is huge. Pregnancy number 2 I guess.

mhc13 · November 2015

Haven't gained an ounce at nearly 16 weeks. I didn't start gaining until after 20 weeks with my 1st. I ended up gaining 30. Everyone's different. I wouldn't be concerned at this point.

amscape · November 2015

Same here. I figure it'll happen soon enough!

jumpy57 · November 2015

I am also changing shape but I lost a couple pounds at 15 weeks. I agree with losing some muscle from just napping all first trimester. My doctor is not concerned.

mrstmoose · November 2015

I'm 13 weeks and definitely have bigger boobs and a small bump and have only gained a pound.

yogahh · November 2015

Would you like some of the weight I have gained? I have plenty to go around.

sarawifenow · November 2015

I lost 12 pounds in the first tri from being so sick. I have gained it all back now (17w on Mon) and have put on an additional 2 pounds. So, technically, I have only gained 2 pounds so far.

autumnlynne1221 · November 2015

I'm down 5lbs in 3 weeks as of my dr visit yesterday. Now that I like food again I'm expecting this to change real fast. I gained 55lbs with my last pregnancy so I'm trying to keep it under 30lbs this time around.

proudparent2b · November 2015

I'm the same weight as well at 15 1/2 weeks. However, I am at the low end of obese, so maintaining isn't necessarily a bad thing at this point. I'm definitely not dieting - just listening to my body and giving it what it needs.

I've definitely gained inches around my middle though- had to bump up to maternity clothes at 8 weeks and look around 20-30 pounds heavier.

Prior to expecting, I had lost over 60 pounds. My doctor said it's common to bloat out earlier on (if not pack on pounds more quickly) after losing a significant amount of weight like that.

laurenmdrn16 · November 2015

I am down 21 lbs since my prepregnancy weight and hoping not to gain any back. My bump and boobs are definitely bigger, but I am losing some of my arm flab and muffin top flub. Thunder thighs are staying put and my booty is still a force to be reckoned with, but I am hearing no complaints from MH so we'll just leave that alone. Of course, understand that I am 5'5" and down to 244 lbs...so I clearly have more than enough to lose. My OB has gently reminded me that I don't need to gain weight during this pregnancy and I take that as a challenge to lose as much as I can in a healthy manner.

Ditto this.

shunt21 · November 2015

I'm 17 weeks and have continued to lose weight with this pregnancy. I never had morning sickness. I'm over weight and short as it is already so I for sure thought it would be like my first pregnancy. With my first I gained 50 lbs and fast.

nerdymama15 · November 2015

I started off this pregnancy at 233lbs (that is less weight than I was last year yay!) And now I am fluctuating between 221 and 223. I've lost weight instead of gaining. Which is good I guess. Doctor has not said anything about it, so I guess it's not a bad thing.

nay09 · November 2015

I'll be 17 weeks on Wednesday and haven't gained anything yet, I'm not even in maternity clothes yet. I lost almost 10 in my first trimester and it's slowly starting to creep back up. I'm sure I'll be gaining soon though!

angc4 · November 2015

I lost at least 5 pounds in the first tri and am currently still under my PPweight at 14 weeks, I was actually worried about this today, so I'm glad I found this thread

gingermom2015 · November 2015

I haven't gained anything either. I lost about 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight up until 12 weeks because I didn't want to eat anything, and now I gained back about 1-2 pounds so I'm still down from the beginning. No bump either!

bkjade · November 2015

Down a few pounds here too at 14 weeks and some change. Probably because I'm not crushing beers/wine/margaritas/martinis

BlueJuice · November 2015

I'm still wobbling around my base weight at 12+ weeks as well, losing a pound here, gaining a pound there. I'm sure I've lost muscle since I've been too exhausted and queasy to really work out any, so despite the number being basically the same, I'm probably technically gaining. Nobody has seemed concerned about it. I usually don't expect to really gain weight significantly until the 2nd trimester anyway.

Charla1224 · November 2015

I lost 15 lbs the first trimester because I was so sick. I've gained 3 back so I'm still down 12 from where I started. Definitely have a bumb and it's making it hard for me to get dressed. My clothes are too big from my weight loss but too tight in the waist because of baby. So I end up wearing a belly band with a lot of baggy crotch.

KyllieThomson · November 2015

I'm down 13 pounds from my first trimester and only gained back two... (So -11lbs) from my starting weight. I JUST started feeling like I could eat more than a few nibbled here and there last week and am 17weeks now. I'm hoping to gain some back now that I'm hungry again!!

helleebellee · November 2015

I'm staying steady at the same I was at the beginning. I'm sure that won't continue, though.

sillyfox · November 2015

I'm 14 weeks today and down 7 lbs with no morning sickness. I'm certainly not going to complain about it but it seems a little strange ... Just wore the first pair of maternity pants this week, it's my second so honestly I'm shocked I've made it this far without them.

mmemartinez · November 2015

If everything is checking out with your doc I wouldn't worry about it. I too have only gained about 1 lb but nothing fits me anymore! It's a bit weird but I can't eat as much as I used to without getting sick. I'm pretty sure I'm not eating "for two" but I'm sure the weight will come soon enough! Don't worry!

sacofs94 · November 2015

I'm 16 weeks today and don't have any weight gain. I can notice that my stomach sticks out a little further thru my shirt but nothing that screams I'm pregnant.

Me too, twins and I'm down 10 pounds. Had a bad flu last week, plus morning sickness. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow.

Faith1819 · November 2015

Do you throw up alot or get really nauseous? Im 17w2d & first trimester i lost so much weight. But at 16w & 1/2 i started gaining weight. I realized the more i ate but in small proportions the less sick i got & more weight i gained & drinking water & eating a cold orange or eating a granola bar helped put my tummy at ease. But either way im sure you'll start gaining weight like crazy in no time. ☺

Scottwswife · November 2015

My first pregnancy I started out losing weight, about 10 pounds down, and when I hit the third trimester I wanted to eat all the food, and gained back enough to be back up to pp weight at week 34. This time I'm 14 weeks and 6 pounds down. Both times I started out overweight, and I eat better when I'm pregnant. Smaller portions and better choices, and more often. Doc hasn't yelled at me yet this pregnancy. Last time she was a little concerned until I started gaining again.

KaKip · December 2015

Hey all,

I'm starting to get a little worried. I lost weight in the first trimester and then gained a handful pounds at the start of the 2nd trimester (which happened to be at Thanksgiving). Since then, I've lost weight again, most likely because I've had nonstop diarrhea and I've had to adhere to a restricted diet. Today I'm still below the weight I was at the start of pregnancy. Yes, my boobs are bigger and I have a bigger belly but I feel like my belly's development has stalled too.

I'm at 17 weeks and 5 days.

Anyone else having this happen?

proudparent2b · December 2015

@KaKip I'm sorry to hear that! I maintained through the first trimester, lost over Thanksgiving (too many food aversions to turkey day foods), and have since gained around 5 pounds!

I'm just this side of obese, so it feels scary to be gaining this fast!

Thanks for your reply! I guess 5 pounds does not seem like that much to me... I had heard it was typical to gain about 1 pound a week in the second trimester.

I started the pregnancy about 5 pounds overweight so my husband just keeps saying "We have reserves..."

JennyS86 · December 2015

I would consider my 10 lb weight loss in the first tri to be muscle loss and dehydration. At 17weeks, I'm 5 lbs from my starting weight, and enjoying watching my belly grow! I enjoy reading all of the posts because every body is different - but we are all growing tiny humans!! my goal is to gain 20-30 more lbs this pregnancy.

pelicanesque · December 2015

Just to put your minds at ease, I haven't gained any weight at all and I'm just over 20w. I've definitely gained a belly and boobs, though. I just had my 2nd tri ultrasound and baby is right on target for weight! So my point is, it doesn't matter if you haven't gained as long as the baby is ok, and everything checked out at the ultrasound where they check for all kinds of measurements to make sure the baby is growing. I asked the doc about my [lack of] weight gain, and she said "the baby's a parasite". I guess it starts early
