No Weight Gain at 18 Weeks?

Question

I'm almost 18 weeks and still haven't gained a pound. I started off just a tiny bit overweight according to BMI but that was my "comfortable" weight that I've been most my life and I exercised/ate well. I've been mostly eating "clean" for my pregnancy, taking vitamins and drinking loads of water. I plan to ask my Dr. at my appointment Tuesday but was wondering if anyone else on here hasn't/didn't gain this far along? Some people I know say it's normal and some say I should be worried!

Answer

I have only gained 2kgs and im 19weeks. I think if your eating healthy and not excessively everything is fine. I ate exactly what im eating now in terms of portion size and frequency before i was pregnant and now while i am pregnant and i think all my eeighy gain has been just the baby, the placenta and fluid. Im not panicking because i feel great and baby is developing really well <3

Answer

I didn't start gaining at that point either. My BMI was overweight so it's really for the best. I just got weighed yesterday at almost 31w and I've only gained 3 lbs this whole time. And that came from weeks 25 to 31.

I personally lost 5 pounds the first trimester and have only gained 2.2 pounds since then (17 weeks)so technically I am down 2.8 pounds still.

Answer

I have only gained 3 pounds and I am 29 weeks. She told me as long as everything is coming back okay then it should all be good. She also said if I was under weight or very close to being under weight she would be concerned.

Answer

Don't worry! 100% normal. I'm a 0/2 prepregnancy and still never gain anything until after 20 wks. And I've had 3 healthy babies. You're fine, i promise 👍
