why am I not gaining weight?

Question

I'm 21 weeks pregnant, my pre pregnancy weight was 150 and I'm still at 150. my doctor asked if I was eating like he was concerned? help.

Answer

I’m 24 weeks and haven’t gained, I try not to stress it since I’m so active at work (retail management) my dr isn’t concerned bc the baby is growing just fine, she says I’ll gain weight in my 3rd trimester. So for now I’m just happy it doesn’t look like I’ll gain nearly as much as I did with my first, which I gained 60lbs

Answer

I'm 22 weeks and I've lost 19 pounds but have slowly gained back 4 pounds but Dr doesn't seem too worried since I initially weighed 220 when I got pregnant.

Answer

I'm 23 w 5 d. and only gained 700g

Answer

At 20 weeks I hadn’t gained one pound. No morning sickness either but I knew i was eating. I have gained 5 pounds total in 25 weeks and my doctor has no concerns because little man is in the 70th percentile.

Answer

My midwife said I’m not eating enough because i haven’t gained any weight. 25w. I just told her “i eat when I am hungry until I am full” I don’t know what else to do. As long as baby’s growth is on track you shouldn’t worry.

Answer

I was 156lbs pre pregnancy and have only gained 16lbs so far at 23 weeks. My midwife asked me if I was eating ok, my husband looked at her and laughed. (I crave chicken wings...I never eat them when not pregnant). As long as baby is healthy you're fine.

Answer

21 weeks and lost 18 pounds in first 4 months, eating like a horse but haven’t gained any back. If baby is growing fine then you have nothing to worry about ☺️👍

Answer

I’m 24 weeks and lost 19 pounds. Haven’t gained not 1 pound. I’m concerned but it annoys me that my midwife isn’t.

Answer

Ensure or protein shakes ! I wasn’t gaining either and in a month I’ve gained 8lbs and I just drank ensure high protein once a day . I did mine bc baby was measuring in 30th percentile when usually my boys were 60-90% range

Answer

I’m 22 weeks on Monday and have gained 0 lbs! My doc isn’t concerned since my baby is growing right on schedule! I wouldn’t worry about it if your baby is growing fine 🤗
