Not Gaining Weight?

I want to preface this by saying, while I've gained very little weight, I've also been 180-190 lbs for most of my teenage/adult life so I don't think it's too big of a deal. I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and had an appointment on Friday where it turns out I lost four ounces between then and my last appointment, which was four weeks earlier. (187.6-187.2). I'm literally right at my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost about 10 lbs during my first trimester due to being sick constantly. I'm showing and all, and baby is healthy, so should I be worried? My OB wanted me to gain only 15 lbs throughout my whole pregnancy, as I'm diabetic. (My numbers have been absolutely perfect thus far) and she hasn't mentioned my weight. Baby is in 48th percentile for growth in case that's important as well per my anatomy scan.

I'm 130lb ish, i've lost about 5lb in this pregnancy. I was at the heaviest i've ever been pre-pregnancy though, so i'm not very worried (my doctor is a little bit though) i haven't been able to keep much down though and i've been feeling horrible, sick and weak all the time. If you feel good and have been eating well and drinking enough there's no reason to worry about weight gain

I was 191 prepregnancy went down to 180 first and part of second trimester due to terrible sickness and nausea I started gaining till I hit 27 weeks I am now 39 weeks and just reached 191 again which my OB and I are comfortable with because she only wanted me to gain 20 pounds max so I did pretty good and satisfied my craving once in a while 😊 Also baby has always been measuring good and all my blood test came back good! Don't worry about not gaining enough trust me third trimester you'll start gaining some!
