weight question

[amandalynne3470]

Hi eveyone,
Right now I'm on my second pregnancy. During my first pregnancy I was thin and even after I had my daughter I was able to wear the same size jeans. It was actually a couple months later when I gained weight. Now with my second pregnancy I started off with my weight at 178. I was very sick in my first trimester so I lost some weight. I got down to 165 and I have stayed there even though I'm eating normal again and I am now at 20 weeks. 165 is still overweight but I'm worried that I haven't gained anything with already in my second trimester. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? My doctor isn't worried, but should I be?

I'm glad I could help. Lol.

I was over weight starting out this Pregnacy so my doc told me to lose some weight or just maintain my weight.  I'm 24 weeks now and I have only gained 6 lbs from my starting weight.  I would not be worried if your doc is not. 20 weeks and on is when the baby really starts putting on weight quicker.  Just keep eating healthy and exercising. :) good luck!

That makes me feel better. Thank you.

I didn't gain until later too. I lost 18 lbs. And gained 10 back. But I'm also 30 weeks now.
