Not gaining weight?

Question

Hey guys so just went to my last appointment and to my surprise I haven't gained any weight in the past 2 1/2 weeks. The doctor didn't seem upset just asked if I was eating and drinking less than before. Obviously I haven't stopped my eating schedule since I'm hypoglycemic and if I don't eat I pass out. But I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone stopped gaining weight around week 30? how much weight has everyone gained? And what does it mean if I don't gain anymore?
I've only gained 17 pounds and weigh 125.5 right now.

Answer

I am 30+4 and I steadily gained 20 lbs up until week 27 and didn't gain any in the last 3 weeks. I don't think my eating habits have changed so maybe this is normal? My Ob didn't comment on it either.

Answer

I am 30w pregnant. Started out at 110, 124 as of today. I seem to be gaining 1-2lbs every 4 weeks( like overnight thing i guess) 😂 doctor said it will start “packing on” after 32-34lbs. I would not worry if your doctor isn’t too concerned

Answer

I haven’t gained weight this time and if I have my constant morning sickness took it away. I’m still at my pre pregnancy weight of 174. Dr doesn’t seem concerned as I am.

Answer

Answer

I’m 31 Weeks and I’ve only put on 3 pounds my whole pregnancy. I don’t know why and neither does my doctor! But she was worried so we did a last minute ultrasound because she thought maybe baby boy was measuring a little off or something come to find out HES A WHOLE FOUR POUNDS ALREADY! My doctor was thrilled and said maybe I just don’t put on weight! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I'm 30 weeks and have gained 7lbs total. I had gained 0 at my 20 week checkup but at my 24 week had gained 1lb. Then at my 26 week I had gained 6 more pounds (in 2 weeks). I have gained 0 in the last 4 weeks.

Answer

31 weeks. Gained 15 lbs total so far, but haven't gained any in at least a month. 130 to start with, 145 now. Baby looks good tho and weighs 3 lbs! :) as long as your baby is growing well, I guess there's not anything to worry about

Answer

My doctor said to not be concerned with weight gain. As long as the baby is healthy and your measuring well, there is nothing to worry about. I gained 35 with my first. With my second, I gained 20 and then had GD so I never gained anything after 28 week. Now, with my third, I have gained 15 pounds at 30 weeks and have to follow the GD diet so I don't anticipate gaining much more. But I does worry me too!

Answer

I gained 8lbs between 24-28 weeks. I then was dx with GD and started following that diet. Now i dropped 3lbs since changing my diet in one week and met with nutritionist. Ive only gained 11lbs this pregnancy and I’m 30 weeks now. The nutritionist and MD said it’s good now but they dont want me to continue to lose weight and said I should eat higher cal/low carb foods. They just want to make sure baby is growing and she definitely appears to be :) growth scan is at 32weeks so I’ll know more then.

Answer

my last appt was at 28 weeks and I has only gained 1.5lbs in 4 weeks. my doctor didn't seem concerned because my belly is getting bigger.
