Is it bad I’m not gaining weight?! 8 Weeks!

McKenna • Baby boy born January 2019 💙 Little brother due April 2021 🥰

I’ll be exactly 8 weeks tomorrow and haven’t gained like any weight.. is that bad?! Ever since I found out I was pregnant I cracked down on my eating and have been making sure I get in all of my suggested nutrients and such. So I’m definitely eating a lot healthier than I was! Like so much fruit, veggies, cottage cheese, lean meats, etc. I’m trying to eat all the pregnancy super foods that I can stomach! But don’t get me wrong, I splurge on my treats and carbs here and there! (Like eating 2 scoops of ice cream tonight instead of the usual 1 🤤)

I try to eat as much as I can and as good for the baby as possible, but am not gaining weight! I am worried this is hurting the baby because I know you’re supposed to gain weight. Anyone else in the same boat?
