30 weeks and no weight gain?

Question

OK, so I'm pregnant with baby #5 and I'm 5'6 and weighed 160 when i found out I was pregnant in December.
Now I just hit 30 weeks today and I have only gained (maybe) 5 lbs. Doctors haven't said anything about it, and according to my BMI, I am slightly overweight. 
Could I simply be losing body fat while gaining baby weight,lol. Everyone I know says dont worry. I am showing and  like I said everything has come back normal but I can't help but worry.
Anyone else in the same boat?

Answer

I was 175 before pregnancy and I have only gained 3 lbs. and that was only between weeks 25 and 30. I'm 32 weeks now so at 34 weeks I'll see how much I've gained. Overweight ladies don't need to gain a lot. But yes, I believe sometimes you are losing body fat while gaining baby weight.

Answer

I lost 10 pounds first tri then second tri gained 6 pounds and 3rd tri for the most part just stayed the same. If anything I gained maybe 3 pounds in 3rd tri. I was worried bc dr said I shud gain 1-2 pounds a week but def didn't. N I gave birth to a healthy 7ib 12 oz baby boy at 38 weeks and 6 days! So I would say as long as dr isn't worried and baby measurements have always been good and fundal height then u shouldn't have anything to worry bout. But def discuss ur concerns with the dr

I wish 🙄 my BMI was *slightly* higher than it was supposed to be. So now I'm pretty sure it's *slightly* below WAY too freaking high.

Answer

Sounds just like me. Started off 160 I will be 28 weeks on Saturday and only gained a few pounds.  My Dr told me it's because I started off over weight. My face and arms actually slimmed out alittle but my belly is growing nicely.

Answer

I'm not that far along, but I'm "overweight", and so far I've actually lost three pounds. 😶
I think it's just that my eating habits are better for the baby, so I've been losing weight everywhere, except my bump and my boobs. 😂

Kinda I am 31 & 4. I was 140 pre-pregnancy after a few months I've noticed my clothes grew so big on me I was down to 128. I haven't started gaining anything back until I was abt 27 weeks. I was 134. My 31 week visit which was Monday (31 w 1d) I am 144.
