Lots of weight gain in first trimester, hardly any in 2nd?
I go for the anatomy scan on Wednesday, Im currently 19 weeks. I have been sick the past few days with a stomach bug, vomiting occasionally, GI cramps and loss of appetite. I weighed myself today and I've actually lost 2lbs in the past two weeks. I started this pregnancy slightly underweight at 113lbs and currently I weigh 143, this has made my doctor very happy to see as I achieved through healthy eating. Historically I have never been above 140. Everything I have read has said that weight gain is supposed to be a pound or two a week in the 2nd trimester, but I have stopped gaining weight like I was when I was considered underweight. I feel baby girl move a lot this past week so I know shes still doing well in there, but I feel like a failure or that I'm not eating enough. I guess we'll know Wednesday how she really is doing but has anyone else lost weight in the 2nd trimester and ended up back on track? Im hoping its just this stomach bug and seasonal depression that is just giving me this roadblock.
