Weight gain

Is anyone else having trouble with gaining weight? I'm 23 weeks and I've only gained about 5 pounds ...

With my first pregnancy I gained 11lbs total

I'm currently pregnant the 2md time and I'm 25weeks pregnant and I am 8lbs under my pre pregnancy weight.

My son was born healthy
My daughter is a good size for 25weeks
I just don't gain much while pregnant

If it's your first pregnancy usually you do not gain as much. also depends on if you're already heavy. With my first I gained 20 pounds my entire pregnancy I am heavier though. with my current I am gaining much faster though I eat a lot less. As long as you are eating properly and taking prenatals you should be fine . mention it to your doctor if you're concerned the baby isn't getting enough.
