Is this normal??

Question

Is it normal that I've only gained about 5 lbs, possibly only 4 at 26 weeks pregnant? I started out a little on the heavy side, but Is this something to worry about? I eat normal and everything, so idk why this is happening??

Answer

Girl, weight is just a number! Do not let the scale determine you and your babies health! I am 26 weeks and there are days people forget I'm pregnant... I've actually lost weight during the process because I am watching what I eat and still continuing my work outs. Doctor says baby is happy healthy and growing. So you do you momma! Every body is different!

Answer

Unless your dr is worried I wouldn’t worry. I have only gained back 3 lbs at week 27 after losing 10 during the first trimester and my little guy is still on track!

Answer

I’ve lost 10 lbs. doctor is not worried and I’m happy!!

Answer

I have only gained 4lbs at 25 weeks. With my daughter I only gained 6lbs the entire pregnancy, my doctor was never once concerned as she was growing as she should be and ended up weighing in at 9lbs 6oz when she was born.

Answer

I’ve only gained about 2lbs at almost 26 weeks- I think you’ll be fine as long as your doctor doesn’t say anything 😊

Answer

I’m not sure I guess it’s fine I don’t personally feel I’ve put loads of weight on tbh and I’m 26 weeks but I’ve not been weighed yet so I may be wrong and put on over a stone lol 😂 they weighed me at like 11 weeks that’s it x

Answer

Especially is starting out heavier.. i try s very common to not gain much. And even lose. I'm 26 weeks and not quite to prepregnancy weight yet, and started out a bit heavy.

Answer

I'm one of those rare people that only has a metabolism when pregnant. Pregnancy is brutal on my body so I spend most of the time especially the last 3rd basically laid up hardly moving and my first 2 were girls so ate nothing but junk and sweets. Both were born at 39w3d 1st gained 14lbs 2nd gained 23lbs. This one is a boy so doesn't like sweets and wants protein I'm 27w5d and down 3lbs from prepregnancy weight(usually up at least a few lbs by this point). My kiddos always have a huge spurt right at the end my first I put on 5 of the 14lbs in the last 2 weeks. 1st was 8lb3oz. 2nd was 7lb5oz so dont worry about not gaining a lot. Some women gain a ton some gain a lil (or even lose)

Answer

Honestly I’ve only lost weight so far, and I wasn’t particularly overweight to start with. I’m not showing at all, but baby is measuring right on track so my dr isn’t concerned. I’m also super tall and have a long torso, so I might not show much at all.
