15 wks pregnant and only gained 11 ponds

I am 15 wks pregnant today and went to the doctor. When they weighed me i still had only gained 11 pounds. Could this be bad for my baby considering that i eat all of the time but no weight gain?

I have not gaind any weight I lost almost 10lb when I in my first 3 months and now I just got back up to the weight I was at befor I got preg. I ask the doctor about it when I was there last week they say not to worry about it the baby is going to get what it needs from you...So just thank of it like this the dr says its ok and it's less you have to lose after you have the baby....lol...Good luck all will work work out for you

I am 18 weeks and have actually lost 8 pounds and they say that it is ok so I think that you have nothing to worry about!

Its totally normal for some people not to gain a lot of weight. My 1st preg. I gained 47 lbs total. My 2nd was 37 total and my 3rd was 30 lbs total. I am 18 wks & I have only gained 2 lbs so far. Its weird. And not that it should matter...but my 1st 3 pregnancies were all boys & this one is a girl.
