Is this normal?

[Bibi1812]

Hello everyone.  I am 17 weeks pregnant and I am concerned about my weight gain.  I started by losing two pounds in the first couple of months and since then I have only gained 1 pound.  Is this normal?  I'm sure I look a little bigger (more like bloated), but shouldn't I have gained more weight by now?   Is the baby ok that I haven't?  It's my first baby and I have no clue.  By when should I start really worrying if I don't gain weight or should I even worry at all. Thank u.

some people put on more weight than others if you were sick to begin with that would stop you putting on weight as long as the baby is growing then i woulg not worry i have put on very little weight i was sick this time with my girls i had nearly 2 stone on at this point

If this is your first especially, I am sure you are fine. As long as the baby is growing normally you have nothing to worry about. Some women lose first then gain, and some start gaining right away, like me. I sometimes wish I could go the first couple months without gaining anything so I know its all baby, and not eating too much at first. Then again, I guess this is #3 for me so its not too bad right? Lol!!! Oh well. NO worries here. I didnt even know I was pregnant until I was 2 1/2 months with my first 10 years ago. :-) So each pregnancy and woman is different. Dont worry hun!

Thank u very much. I'm going for my first sonogram on Monday.  Hopefully they'll tell me everything is alright with the baby and that the pregnancy is going well.  Take care.

I'm 17 weeks too and I have lost a pound..
I havent been sick at all either.  I just think baby is taking all my food, cuz he/she is growing just fine :)

I'm 20 weeks and 2 days and have lost 12lbs since getting pregnant and the doctor says that the baby is just fine. I have been sick everyday since 5 weeks I guess that is why I keep losing weight.
