Weight gain

Haylie • Mommy to 7 yr old boy 👦🏼💙 Due 11/2020 with a baby girl 🤰🏼👶🏼💖

I need help gaining weight! I’ve been small my whole life, nothing I do ever helps. The only time I was able to gain weight was when I was pregnant with my son, I was able to gain a total of 50 pounds. Well now I’m pregnant for the second time and I’ve only gained 5 pounds. I’m almost 20 weeks and by this point in my pregnancy with my son, I had gained roughly 15 pounds. It wouldn’t be such a huge deal if I wasn’t “under weight” according to doctors and all the charts etc. which again, this is how I’ve been my whole life and it’s not a concern normally, for me nor my doctor, but being pregnant my doctor wants me to gain as much weight as possible and honestly, I do too. When I got pregnant this time around, I didn’t think gaining weight would be a problem since I was able to gain a good amount with my son but apparently my body has other plans this time. I also wasn’t too worried since I know I gained most of my weight after 20 weeks and I figured maybe it was just taking a little longer for me to gain weight this time but now I’m almost 20 weeks and only up 5 pounds and I just need help on what to do!? Anyone else had this problem? How can I gain more weight? And please don’t say eat more because I eat and eat and eat, if I ate anymore I would just throw up everything I ate from being over full. Please tell me what helped you gain weight!?
