NO Gain weight, should I be concerned? ?? 21 weeks

[Marggie1414]

I have started this pregnancy way too heavy to began with and yes I was terrified of gaining anymore weight but it is what it is right?? Gaining weight  is part of pregnancy, well I must say that my morning sickness was horrible so in a way I am thankful to it because instead of gaining I lost some weight yes I am guilty as charged because I am 5'2 and started this pregnancy with 210 lbd, that is not overweight but considered obese :( so yes I was terrified, anywho my morning sickness it's been gone since week 16 and I still haven't gained any weight at all,  I just had my ultrasound last week to find out baby's sex, it's a Boy :) and Doctor called me back saying everything looked ok and normal, shoul I still . worry? ? Doctor told me next visit he wants me to have gaied at least 4 punds, and what I I don't? ??

I didn't start gaining weight till 26 weeks I am in a few days 37 weeks and only gained 6 lbs. The Dr wasn't concerned with my weight loss and I am also 5'2 and I started at 236 lbs my doctor saw my weight gain and told me to not gain anymore that was just last week. Told me I am way obese and don't need to gain weight. Just eat healthy and exercise lots of walking. As with my first child I lost 20 lbs and gained 35 starting at 24 weeks so no need to worry. She was 5lbs12oz at 37 weeks 5 days I had preeclampsia iron problems partial previa thyroid problems.

I have lost about 10lbs and I'm 37 weeks. My doctor said its normal for people of my size to not gain weight even if he wanted me to gain 15lbs. I eat every 2-3 and drink lots of water. I'm not starving by any means. My little one is measuring above average growth so my doctor is happy. He said as long as the baby is growing I shouldn't sorry about not gaining weight and this is my first pregnancy.

Thank You ladies,  today the hunny took me to the Old Country Buffet and I ate like a piggie :/ trying to gain some weight I guess, but Boy do I regret it :( I ended up leaving feeling breathless and feeling like my belly was going to explode lol, I will never eat that much ever again.... I guess I will continue to do what I was doing in the first place, my Hubby asked if he could take a picture of me today while shopping at BabiesRUs which is really odd considering the fact that he knows how much I hate how I look in pictures and I just had to agree, I said as long as you don't post it on Facebook haha, He said I wouldn't if you don't want me too, he said is just that you look soooo pretty with ur belly :)

I started gaining weight at 30 weeks. At the beginning I was loosing instead of gaining but the doc was not too worried. Am skinny so he just said to gain 15 am 35 weeks and only gain 10 so not bad. You will start gaining in a few weeks!!

As long as you are eating healthy and regular. Baby takes what it needs from you before you get what you need. I wouldn't be worried if you feel you have no energy or your getting cravings then work out what ur body is lacking. :-) all the best.

It's OK. Don't be concerned. With my last pregnancy my start weight was 240 and at delivery I was 220. My son was 8.5 lbs.

It's 100 percent normal I'm extremely overweight I lost weight and didn't gain any weight until nerd trimester my doctor said it's 100 percent Normal

It is normal to not gain weight or gain the bare minimum if you start out your pregnancy overweight. I was avg for my height when first getting pregnant and because of morning sickness I ended up loosing weight and evening out by 21 weeks. Your baby is still growing so don't worry. Also, your last trimester you get really hungry and eat A LOT! so don't be concerned now if you're  not gaining.

I think its normal. I'm the same weight as you and I haven't gained yet. Maybe a pound or two. I'm always on my feet.at work so I'm always burning calories and my appetite decreased. During ultrasound, baby weighed a little above average. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you are eating and drinking.
