Hard time gaining weight?

Question

I'm 18w1d and I weighed 129 at my last appointment. Like TWO weeks ago. I just weighed myself and I only weighed 130...I'm in the second trimester. I'm supposed to be gaining weight. Why is it so hard for me to gain weight? Is my metabolism working well like usual or should I start being concerned because I can't gain weight? A lot of the weight I do gain just goes into my tummy. :/

Answer

I’m 21w6d and haven’t gained anything so far. As long as your doctor isn’t concerned your fine.

Answer

I didn't gain any weight during my second trimester. Every body is different. As long as you're eating and taking your prenatals, and baby is growing and thriving, you should be fine.

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and have lost weight the whole pregnancy. My doctors aren't worried because baby girl is measuring fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

When i first started pregnancy I was 115 them due to so much morning sickness I dropped to 99lbs. And at 27 almost 28 weeks I’m at 108. It’ll be okay, you’ll start building up soon as munchkin starts growing ❤️ 
I started really gaining at 21 weeks

Answer

Honestly, as long as you’re eating how you’re supposed to I wouldn’t worry too much about it! You’re adding the calories that you need for baby which is about 3-500 in the second trimester , Then don’t worry! I had the same issue with my son and when I mentioned it to the doctor he prescribed me a high carb diet and I ended up gaining 55 pounds and I have thyroid disease which is really hard to make it come off. So don’t worry too much about it

Answer

I wouldn't worry at all. I'm down 15 pounds since the first trimester and still losing. If baby is healthy your weight doesn't matter
