Weight?

Hey girls! I'm 26 weeks 6 days and I have not gained a pound yet! I got the flu around 18 weeks and lost 5 pounds. I've only been able to gain back 3 of those. Does anyone else have issues gaining? What can I do to help put on some pounds?

3 pregnancies i gained 50+ lbs ... this one i'm 30+3 and doctor isn't happy with 14lbs as it's not my 'usual'.  Good luck!  up your calorie intake... eat more frequently if you can.  I rely on special K and wheat things or small chocolate to keep me going.  the past 2 days I havent been hungry at all so hubby has me eating energy bars LOL

What was your pre-baby weight, how tall are you and before baby did you show when you gained weight?

I cannot comment about not gaining weight as I have had the opposite experience. I started out at a low weight and just kept gaining. I'm also short and tend to show more when I do gain. What did your OB say when your weight and then your belly was measured at your last appt?
