Anyone else having trouble gaining weight?

Question

I'm 16 weeks and early in my pregnancy I lost 10ish pounds. I have not gained any of it back and even lost a couple more. Is anyone else having this issue? Any recommendations on what to do? Doctor said to not worry yet, but I can't help it.

Answer

I am 15weeks and lost 5lbs since I got pregnant. Doctor isn't concerned yet, but said I have to start gaining from around 20 weeks. Don't stress about it. Your appetite will kick in at some point! Just stay healthy!

Answer

I'm 18 weeks and I haven't gained any weight my nurse said as long as I'm not throwing up like o was and taking my prenatal it's fine

Answer

I am 19 weeks today and have only gained about 5-6 pounds. I've just been eating normally, not trying to eat any more or less than usual. I have my next appointment tomorrow and I guess I'll see then if they think I need to gain more weight.

Answer

My doc isn't worried about it either so I'm not going to fret - relax and enjoy this unexpected pregnancy perk while it lasts - cause it really won't last...

Answer

I lost 15lbs with #1 and 20 with #2. I am down  7 right now. Just take your prenatals and eat the best you can! Thing usually turned around about 20 weeks for me.

Answer

I'm almost as jealous on this thread as I was on the girl who woke up at night with an orgasm! 🙈 👀

Answer

I've lost 12lbs and have no appitite. I lost with all my pregnancies. Dr has never been concerned.

Answer

I had almost the exact same thing happen. Eat healthy fats (coconut oil, peanut butter, avacados) that has helped. Im 18 weeks and I've gained back about a pound and a half. Hope that helps.

Answer

Pediasure has been helping a lot for me! Helps with nausea & gives you extra nutrients. Lots of carbs & protein      . Try to stay away from unnatural sugars

Answer

You probably don't NEED to gail weight right now. My doctor says the baby weighs so little right now that I won't really start gaining until third tri. But, if you want to gain weight, drink MILK. if you don't like it, mix w a little chai tea. And eat CHEESE. Stuff w calcium usually is higher in fat.
