Fruits and vegetables are great but you also need protein and fat in your diet.  Do you eat foods such as meat, eggs and dairy?   You need at least 400 extra calories a day to gain the necessary weight and now that you're so far behind,  you need even more.   Try adding avocado to your meals, it's full of healthy fats and calories.  You could put it in a smoothie or slice up on a sandwich, salad, etc.

Im 32 weeks and just now I have only gained 10 pounds my doctor hasn't stressed about my gain weight , my first pregnancy I lost a lot of weight at the beginning but at the end I only gained about 15-16 pounds. My daughter was weighing 8.3, you'll eventually gain the necessary weight just make sure you keep taking your vitamins :) I had morning sickness through my first pregnancy till the last day I went into labor :/

Thank u ladies my doctor told me that I should have gained 10 to 15 lbs and I haven't gained anything im 21 weeks he wants me to try to gained 5lbs by next week idk if its possible

I would say, eat small, frequent meals and like the poster above said drink a supplemental shake such as Boost, Ensure, Carnations Instant Breakfast, etc.  You can buy the store brand, those r usually cheaper & it's the same thing.   If you drink 2-3 of these a day in addition to eating regular meals, you'll gain weight for sure.   I do suggest drinking the shakes as a snack and not in place of a meal.   Good luck.

I wouldn't suggest myself get some boost or other shakes n eat smaller meals but more times a day. I have lost 20lbs n I'm 15 weeks pregnant.  But bcuz of reasons I don't eat. I was on meds that help me eat but can't take them while I'm prego
