Haven't gained weight in a week... Is this normal?

Question

Sorry if this is a dumb question... FTM here. I was gaining weight every week from weeks 12-21. It wasn't as consistent as they preach it should be, despite my efforts, but it was there. Gained almost 13 pounds. This week I've gained nothing. While I'm happy for the pause, I want to make sure everything is okay!

Answer

It shouldn't be an issue, I think 13 lbs by 21 weeks is on the upper end anyway. I gained a lot by 20 weeks (more than you) and gained nothing for the next 10 weeks so it balances out. I'm 39 weeks now and I'm right on target for about 25-30 lbs total

Answer

You won't gain constantly. I didn't even gain a single pound until 21 weeks. I'm now 37 and have only gained between 10 and 12.

Answer

I gained nothing with my first pregnancy, lost 25lbs
And so far this pregnancy (I'm 15w 2d) I've not gained anything but lost 8lbs

Answer

Im 32 weeks tomorrow and ive only gained 2lbs through the whole pregnancy mind you i am a bit overweight to begin with but if your dr isnt concerned i wouldnt be either

Answer

I'm 18 weeks. Gained 6 lbs (prob thanks to Taco Bell lol) but I only just gained that. With my first I gained 40 lbs in 2 separate times. 20 at a time.

Answer

They have what they feel you should gain and that's what they go by. I gained the weight appropriately according to them, my sister who was pregnant at the same time didn't gain a lot she was eating like crazy more than me and only gained 4lbs her entire pregnancy. Her OB kept trying to make her feel some sort of way but ultimately it's just how her body worked. My niece was born completely healthy and soon to be 9 months old.

Answer

I only gained 3 lbs with my last and I'm down 2lbs at 17 weeks with this one.  It depends on your body before conceiving.  I was already overweight so the doctor says it's good that I'm not gaining like I did with my first.
