Not gaining enough weight????

Question

I'm almost 17 weeks and I've only gained 6 pounds. Should I be more concerned with trying to gain more weight? My pre-pregnancy weight was 105 and I now weigh 111.

Answer

I wouldn't be worried you will probably start to gain more soon. A lot don't gain much during the first trimester.

Answer

It wouldn't worry if your doctor isn't. I lost weight due to lots of water, no alcohol, cleaner eating and more walking. By the time I gave birth to my son I was 4 pounds lighter than before getting pregnant. 4 weeks later I was almost 30 pounds down (baby weight, fluids, breast feeding, desire for fruit only, etc)! My son was a super healthy 7 lbs 9 oz and almost a week late. Best weight loss plan I've ever been on 😆

Answer

I'm 20 weeks and I only gained 2lbs

Answer

I'm 18+4 weeks and have only gained 5 lbs.

Answer

Check with your dr, but I think that's okay. I started at 95.5 prior, and at 22 weeks have only gained 11lbs. I gained the most (so far obliviously) during my first trimester, as I had to constantly eat carbs to prevent getting sick, like hourly. It was awful. Since being in my 2nd trimester, I've only gained 1lb. Totally backwards, I know. Everyone is different though, try not to worry!! I'd ask your dr, if you haven't already, how much total you need to gain to grow that baby! I was told I needed to put on 30-35lbs, which freaked me out, but it's necessary!

Answer

Im 16+2 and only up 3 pounds but i also lost weight because how how bad my "morning" sickness was

Answer

My doctor told me 5 pounds for 20 weeks, and then a pound every week after that. I think you are right on the money!

Answer

I'm 17wks and haven't even gained a while pound.

Answer

I'm 18 weeks and only gained 3 lbs.. but I started out overweight.

Answer

Nope I wouldn't be. 
Lost 15 lbs during my first trimester because I couldn't keep solids down for any solids down for 2 weeks. And I have only gained back 4 out of the 15 pounds and I am over 22 weeks.  As long as your doctor is hapoy its not a big deal.  My doctor doesn't want me gaining a ton of weight during my first two trimesters. On a side note I'm no where near overweight-- because some will tell you that's why some people are told not to gain weight but for me it's what my doctor ideally wanted.  He said we are a model pregnancy so far. So I'm happy he's happy baby is happy :)
