**UPDATE: Belly growing but not gaining weight?

Question

Hey ladies, I'm 34 weeks today and had an OB appointment this morning. Over the last six weeks, I haven't gained a single pound but my belly keeps growing and is actually measuring ahead. I think I haven't gained weight because I have had hyperemesis during this pregnancy and I don't have much of an appetite for anything so I only eat the bare minimum when I have to. My OB is sending me for an ultrasound anyway just to check baby's development and the estimated fetal weight. Have any other ladies ever gone through something similar? This is baby #3 for me but I've never had this happen before. Thanks!

**UPDATE:  Great news! Had my ultrasound today (34 + 2) and baby is measuring at 34 + 3 with an estimated weight of 5 lbs, 10 oz! Thanks for all of your replies and reassurance! Wishing each and every one of you the very best 😊 xox.

Answer

I didn't gain from 30-32 weeks then I gained 4 lbs in two weeks lol it's okay it's probably all going to the baby

Answer

I haven't gained a single pound since 28 weeks after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Now, my diet is so controlled and healthy, I've actually lost three pounds. I get ultrasounds every other visit. Baby's measurements are healthy and normal!! Doctor isn't concerned.

Answer

That's a relief! My dr won't do an ultrasound! :(

Answer

I'm the same! Almost 36 weeks and I haven't gained anything since 32 weeks. Doc said I'm fine now after they got concerned about me gaining 30 pounds so far. This is #3 also. Some days I feel small, others I feel like a whale

Answer

I was the same weight for 2 months then all of a sudden go for my 35 weeks and gained 3 in one week. Lol

Answer

I'm actually losing weight due to having GD and being on a GD diet, and ultrasounds confirm baby is growing fine.

Answer

The first 32 wks I gained only 7-8 lbs... so it was all baby ....

Answer

I've only gained 10 lbs this whole pregnancy including the weight I gained back from losing weight in the beginning! I haven't gained but 1lb in the past 3/4 dr visits but doc always says I'm good! Also measuring a head just a tad under 2wks. I'm 36 wks, no appetite really this pregnancy. With my first complete opposite, I measured -2wks behind I ate everything in sight and gained little less than 30lbs(lost over 10 that I had to gain back)
It's Defiently different and werid

Answer

I have gained 6 pounds this whole pregnancy.. But have a big pregnant belly that's measuring a week ahead and a baby that's measuring 2 weeks ahead. I haven't gained any weight in 3 months.. My doctor isn't concerned because baby is growing like she should.. I've just lost weight that isn't showing because the baby and fluids are taking up for the weight lose.

Answer

I am 35 weeks I haven't gained much at all, my ultrasound showed that I have a lot of fluid and baby weighs 6 lbs.
