Weight gain???

Question

Hi, ladies I'm about to be 20 weeks exactly on Saturday and I have only gained 2 pounds this is a first for me because with my other two pregnancies I gained more weight by this point. My doctor seems concerned and told me to drink ensure shakes because I'm just not hungry..this is so different for me because my other two pregnancies I could eat and eat. Any other moms go through this and eventually put on weight or baby was fine with out  lot of weight gain.

Answer

I’m 19 weeks and haven’t gained anything, my doctor wasn’t concerned. He said even if I don’t gain by next appointment it’s okay. I brought it up at my last appointment because I was worried.

Answer

I gained nothing with my first until 30 weeks. NOTHING. I was freaked out too. But they dont worry until your 3rd trimester if you're not gaining usually. With this pregnancy my weight has fluctuated so much, I gained, lost, gained and lost again. Every person and pregnancy is different I wouldn't worry until you're further along since that's when baby starts really putting on weight you should too.

Answer

I eat and eat and eat all day it feels like and I have only gained 1.8 pounds and I’ll be 21 weeks tomorrow. Everyone is different! I wouldn’t go against what your dr is telling you to do but I also wouldn’t be too worried as long as baby is healthy!

Answer

I had a similar problem gaining weight with my first. But I didn’t have to supplement with ensure or anything. I gained most of my weight the last month and a half.  Just do the best you can. Every pregnancy is different.
