No weight gain?

Question

I'm a few days shy of 15 weeks and I thought I'd be packing on pounds by now. I haven't gained anything except for an initial 2lbs in week 6-7, probably from being on holiday. It isn't due to nausea or vomiting because I got very lucky in that regard. I'm just not gaining despite eating. Should I be worried? I also started out on the skinny end, so I really expected to gain more than this by now. Anyone else in the same boat?

Answer

I'm 17.2 weeks and I've lost weight but my uterus and baby are growing so the Drs aren't worried about it. I'm sure I'll start gaining soon since my appetite is starting to come back.

Answer

No you shouldn't be worried. The baby doesn't weigh much yet not even a pound. And your uterus isn't big yet either so you don't have the weight of fluid and placenta. With my first I didn't gain more than 7 pounds until the 3 trimester.

Answer

Nope! I'm 17 weeks still haven't gained any weight. My doctor isn't concerned. I also started out skinny and I've been working out the whole pregnancy. She told me as long as my uterus and baby are growing and not losing she's happy!

Answer

I'm just starting to gain back some of the weight i lost- I'm still down 7lbs from prepregnancy weight at 18 weeks. My doc isn't worried so I'm not either. Here's Lil Bop.

I'm 17w 2d and had lost 10 lbs from the beginning. Not even from throwing up (only have 5 or 6 times total), but I just finally gained back 1 of those lost pounds. The Dr was worried at my second appt, but I only go about every 5 to 6 weeks so far the way it's worked out, and don't go back until Dec 21 for gender ultrasound. The Dr said they would only be worried if I lost more weight, then I may need hooked up to fluids?? The baby has been healthy though, as far as I know. You will probably start gaining anytime now in the 2nd teimester, and especially the 3rd. Originally my Dr told me she doesn't want me to gain anymore than 15 to 20 pounds total the whole pregnancy.

Answer

I am 15w3d and still showing about 8-10lbs loss.  Baby is fine, though.  I was the same with dd, I didn't gain until about 24 weeks.  She was, and is, perfectly healthy.

Answer

I hadn't gained any until two days ago. I did eat out at Olive Garden the night before so it may go back down. I've been pretty nervous about my weight too. I'm 14 and feel like I should have gained something.

Answer

Thanks, ladies. I feel a lot better now. Just seemed odd since I've not had any vomiting and am eating loads!

Answer

I'm 18 weeks today and haven't gained an ounce.

Answer

This is me at 16w3d, I have only gained 2lb. I had my appointment yesterday and my midwife said the baby is growing perfectly, that is what matters!
