Weight gain appropriate?

Question

Hey guys... before I call the doctor panicking and them just saying “you’re fine” 
At my 20 week scan baby was measuring 6 days ahead 
I’ve been weighing myself every other day and I’m just not gaining weight. 
I’m 25w4d and I’m still stuck at only 9 pounds gained. I’ve been at this weight for 6 weeks.

Answer

I’m 30 weeks with number 3 and I haven’t gained any weight this pregnancy I’ve actually lost approx 5kgs ( google translates to 11 pounds). I don’t think you should be concerned by the weight issue. 
If baby is moving and everything looks fine there I wouldn’t see a reason to call personally.

Answer

I’ve gained about 13 pounds. The scale wasn’t really moving until after 20 weeks. And everyone says you’re gonna gain the most in the last trimester. If your OB hasn’t brought up any concerns with weight gain I wouldn’t worry too much! Just enjoy your pregnancy!

Answer

Answer

What did you start at tho?

Answer

I didn’t gain until the beginning of the third trimester

Answer

Thanks everyone! I’ll mention my concern at my next appointment but I won’t call. I checked my fundal height with the tape measurer and it’s 24 cm. Read it can give or take 2 cm so that helped calm me too. I have such a little belly and the baby kicks so gently I get nervous lol. (M

Answer

The baby gets everything it needs before you do. So as long as you are not intentionally avoiding food (anorexic, dieting, etc), then you can be assured baby is getting what it needs. But make sure you try increasing your caloric intake in a healthy way like more protein and fruit during your day. The second trimester is where you gain the most weight, and some women even begin to lose weight in the third trimester. Also, your metabolism increases in the third trimester significantly, so to continue gaining weight you have to eat more than you have been (or just more calorie dense foods).

Answer

I'm 38 weeks and have only gained 10lbs. Your own weight gain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with baby's growth!
