No weigh gain!?

Question

I've got a BMI of 40 and I'm 16 weeks plus 3 today and I've not gained any weight yet. Has anyone else been advised by a consultant not to gain a single lb and how do you plan to do this? Xxx

Answer

I have the same BMI; my ob told me most overweight women should expect to lose a little weight with pregnancy- just eat healthy and think of your baby:)

Answer

My starting BMI was 45. I'm at 19 weeks and down 10 pounds. (I blame that on the morning sickness, which I still have, and cutting out soda). My doc said around 11 pounds was the ideal gain, but that losing weight was totally fine. I'm surprised they told you no gain at all.

Answer

Check out the healthy moms study. Moms who were obese and gained less than 15 lbs did better than other obese moms! You don't need to gain weight until 2nd trimester. My BMI is 36 and my OB recommended max weight gain of 15-20lbs. I'm hoping for the lower end :)

Answer

I'm 17w3d and have lost almost 10 lbs. being 100 lbs overweight I've been told it's fine to lose or just maintain the entire pregnancy!

Answer

I'm over weight by 100 lbs and my Dr says no more than 15lbs.
