Lack of weight gain?

Question

I decided to weigh myself just now and I am still the same weight that I was at my last appointment when I was 28 weeks. I’m currently 35 weeks. Should I be concerned? I will tell my doctor at my next apt this Friday. I also have had a lack of appetite the last week or so and can’t really keep anything down. Any advice?

Answer

I'm almost 35 weeks and gained roughly 12 pounds this pregnancy. This is my fourth and with all of my pregnancies I've never gained more than 15 pounds and all my babies weighed from 6lbs 15 oz to 7lbs 14oz. All healthy at delivery. I wouldn't stress about it. I'm sure you're precious little one is growing.

Answer

I maintained a steady weight with my first born and he came out a healthy 9lbs. I just never had much of an appetite and found myself eating healthier. So as long as your are staying hydrated and getting enough good food I wouldn’t be worried

Answer

I am 35 weeks and have only gained a total of 11 pounds. I have heard that if you were heavier pre pregnancy you wont/shouldn't gain so much throughout pregnancy. Its proven true for me 🤷‍♀️. I was about 35 pounds overweight pre pregnancy.

Answer

I’m 2kg less than when I got pregnant, midwife wasn’t concerned because baby is fine. Try to keep up your appetite so baby gets nutrients, but it’s completely okay to not gain weight during pregnancy.

Answer

If your belly (fundal height) is measuring roughly on track they’re not going to care much about the pounds you have or haven’t gained. Some women gain pretty much what they’re going to by early third trimester and just plateau.

Answer

I havent gained any weight with this pregnancy. I actually lost 10lbs but my daughter is measuring 2 weeks ahead. With my son I lost 30lbs while I was pregnant. No matter what I ate I couldn't gain any weight. My son came out 7 lbs 10 ounces at 39 weeks. My doctors weren't concerned with either pregnancy because the babies were always measuring good and the fact I am not a small girl to begin with.
