Weight gain should I be worried?

Question

I’m 19 weeks today and so far I’ve only gained 6.4 pounds I am 150 today. After looking up how much I should have gained which is 7-10 pounds. I’m wondering if it’s bad that I’ve gained 6.4 putting me under where I should be?

Answer

I’m 21+4 and have gained a pound, maybe 2 🤷🏻‍♀️ I asked my doctor about this last week and she said as long as I’m healthy and baby’s growing without any issues there’s no reason to worry or eat more or anything like that. 🙂 I’ve also heard that any weight gained before 20 weeks is you, and any weight gained after is baby. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hope this helps!

Answer

I haven’t gained a pound and I’m 20 weeks! Every body is different, and generic numbers don’t apply to everyone.

Answer

I’ve only gained 2 pounds and I’m almost 20 weeks. Don’t stress about gaining weight if you’re eating good and drinking tons of water your baby should be growing at a good rate.

Answer

Not bad at all. Everyone gains differently. It's just a general gage. Some people metabolism is higher than others so you put weight on slower. But baby always steals all the nutrients it needs before letting you have it 😁

Answer

Your weight gain sounds perfectly normal and I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re concerned ask your OB at your next appointment. I’m nearly 19 weeks and I haven’t gained any yet and my OB is not concerned. Considering baby weighs less than a pound right now, there is no need to gain a lot yet.

Answer

Noo you’re absolutely fine! At 15 weeks I weighed in I had lost 2 lbs (I’m overweight prepregnancy so didn’t want to gain a lot) but went in for my 20 week appt and now I’ve gained 6lbs! I looked in my pregnancy journal from my first (my starting weight was 179 I think with her) and I had gained only 4 by 20 weeks with her and ended up gaining 43lbs total by the time I was 40 weeks! The first half it’s ok to barely gain!

Answer

6.4 compared to 7 - no difference to me. Theses are just guidelines and there are many factors that affect weight gain.
