Weight?

Question

Is anyone else struggling with weigh gain? At 21 weeks, I’ve only gained 5lbs. My doctor is a bit concern but I just don’t have an appetite. Everything stinks and I still have nausea. How do guys manage to eat? I’m worried my baby will be underweight

Answer

Did you have your anatomy scan yet? How was baby’s size on that? As long as that was good it doesn’t really matter how much you’ve gained.

Answer

What was your starting weight?

Answer

I'm 20 weeks and only gained 5. Some days I'm starving and eat a ton, others I have no appetite.  Baby and my belly is growing,  midwife is not concerned at all.

Answer

19+5 today and not gained any weight at all. I started off borderline underweight but my midwife isn't concerned as bump is growing nicely and due to a problem with baby's lung I'm getting regular scans and they show baby is growing perfectly too. Several women in my family can't gain weight and are stuck at underweight or borderline but I still can't help worrying about it!

Answer

I am 23wks, high risk. Started at 137lbs, got down to 130lbs in first trimester. Just broke 140lbs this week. My MFM  only wants me to gain maxium 25lbs due to my heart issues!!

Answer

I will be 23 weeks tomorrow and I have only gained about 5 pounds. My doctor said it’s fine as long as I’m not losing. I started out a little overweight so I’m not too concerned.

Answer

I’m 18 weeks before being pregnant I was 145lbs I was so over weight 🤦🏻‍♀️😣then I lost 15 pounds by 6 weeks and I have not gained 1 pound my dr is concerned as well because I already have a high risk pregnancy 😕 but as long as your baby measures well to it’s normal size you should be okay

Answer

I’m 22 weeks and I’m up about 10lbs. My OB hasn’t said anything because the baby was perfectly average at my ultrasound.
