Weight

Good evening ladies,  I'm nearly almost 7 weeks.  My weight does not seem to be increasing. If anything I lost weight then came to one steady weight.  While I am pregnant again with my second child after 19 years,  every pregnancy is different.  Should I be alarmed.  I am kind of nervous.  I try to eat but the nausea is overwhelming.  Can anyone help with an answer or some thoughts?

Thank u. I'll try not to worry. Its weird because my body feels the worst when I'm not with my fiance. Its something about his smell and everything that seems to calm it. I guess its all in my head.  But I will keep what u say in mind.

I'm almost 34weeks and have gained 3 pounds. And that was within the last 2 weeks. Baby is actually measuring big and everything is healthy. Some pregnancies you just don't put on the weight as easily. As long as your not losing tons of weight and your doctors not concerned I wouldn't worry. You still have planty of time to gain weight

I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant and have only gained 6-7 pounds. By month 4 I had only lost weight. It's perfectly normal to lose weight in the first trimester and I wouldn't let it cause you alarm. This is my second baby as well after 10 years. I wish you good luck and congratulations!
