17 weeks and barely put any weight on, no sickness but did have lack of appetite between weeks 6and13. Should I be worried?. (Pic of my 16+3 tummy)

Question

Answer

I’m 16W+5 D and bump is growing and changing but I haven’t gained any weight at all. No sickness or anything so I haven’t lost weight either just at the same weight. Doctors not worried yet so I’m not worried. My mom and sister both didn’t gain weight until later in pregnancy so until the doctor tells me their is a problem I’m not stressing about it haha. I think it’s fairly normal.

Answer

This was last week (don’t have an updated pic from this week. Currently 17w3d). I look like I should have gained about 10 lbs but I haven’t gained anything so far. With my last pregnancy I didn’t start gaining until I was 21 weeks. Everyone gains weight at their own pace. Nothing to worry about.

Answer

Don’t worry if your OB or midwife isn’t worried, they’d tell you if you should be concerned. I lost over 20lbs with morning sickness and nausea but haven’t gained anything back yet at 16 weeks, they aren’t worried and baby is growing just fine so I’m taking it as a blessing 😂 less weight to lose after the baby arrives.

Answer

Is ur doctor concerned about u not gaining weight? If ur doctor hasn’t mentioned it, i wouldn’t worry too much at this point. I think eventually it catches up

Answer

I'm almost 16 weeks and I feel like I haven't put much weight on either...but my belly is out there and I have the same appetite as before I was pregnant. Do you stay active? That might be the reason and I don't think that it's a problem as long as baby is growing and your midwife is fine with your progress 😊 This was me at 14 weeks and the only place I have put on weight is my belly...and even then its more bump than fat

Answer

I’m 16 weeks and I didn’t start putting on weight until this past week, don’t worry about it, you and baby will be okay

Answer

Thanks everyone, had my midwife today and she wasn't concerned. Xxx

Answer

My stomach is definitely bigger than the last time but my weight has been around 160 since before the pregnancy started. I wasn't tracking my weight as much last time so idk if I can say the same for both pregnancies. I did have muscles pre pregnancy so I'm assuming with all my inactivity I'm gaining fat and baby weight as quickly as I'm loosing muscle mass? Doctors haven't shown concern yet though and I am eating frequently.
