Weight gain

So I’m 29 weeks and started pregnancy at 254. Due to insurance complications my last doctor visit was at 13 weeks or so and I was 254 well today I weighed only 255.5 . I’ve been eating relatively healthy only eat junk maybe once or twice a month so that may be why the little weight gain. Does anyone else have experience with not gaining weight? I know since I’m already overweight I shouldn’t be gaining a lot but only 1 pound doesn’t seem right.

I started my pregnancy at 290lbs. I am now 244lbs (27 weeks) I wasn't really sick at all I just started eating better and cut liquid calories. My dr and ob are both happy with where I am at and have said it it fine for me to keep loosing as long as I keep eating a healthy amount. I am having an ultrasound every 6 weeks to track baby's growth but so far everything has been great

I’m 21 weeks and down about 25 pounds total since finding out I was pregnant. I was super sick for a while, but even though it’s better now I still don’t have much of an appetite.

Lost 20. Haven't gained any. Docs will most likely do extra growth scans (I've had 2 extra and she's always been fine). I'm 32+3 and baby girl is measuring right on time despite me not gaining weight. Eat to feed baby and dont worry about gaining. As long as baby is healthy, who cares?

Yep. I’ve lost weight- I’m 21 weeks. Baby is growing at the right pace. You don’t NEED to gain weight when overweight as long as baby is healthy

I started at 245lbs and I keep bouncing between 240 and 245. I am 20 weeks. I’ve read that it’s ok at our size to not gain any weight during pregnancy. I read the goal is 10lbs max but that even no gain is acceptable.

I started my pregnancy at 250lbs and am still 250lbs at 29 weeks pregnant. My doctor said she isn’t concerned because there is still time to gain the weight. When I went for my 20w ultrasound they said everything was normal and baby was growing normally, I don’t think it’s anything for concern. If your doctor was concerned, they would voice that.

Between appointments at 10 weeks and 15 weeks I lost 10 pounds. Not sick at all, just lost weight. My doctor didn’t even mention it.

It’s normal to not gain if you are already overweight. I’ve only gained 20 pounds my entire pregnancy. I started at 215
