I feel alot better, i just wanna be healthy.
Ive splurged on cravings quite often & i have such a big appetite so i was just suprised i only weighed 116.

I'm almost 24 weeks and I haven't gained anything I just got back to pre pregnancy weight. My doc says everything is fine a lot of ppl think pregnant women should just blow up but that's not true as long as your eating and baby is eating and your taking your prenatals your fine! Embrace being all belly girl lol.

I'm 23 weeks,have only gained 4lbs. Had really bad morning sickness until 20 weeks. Doctor said I am gaining weight just fine, and not to worry because most of the weight comes on in your third trimester. I am personally happy to have only gained 4lbs,since my baby is healthy, less to lose afterwards.

I was really sick up until about 25 weeks, I'm 37 now. I've gained about 15 lbs. I think it depends on your body type and also if you've been sick or not. Your doctor will tell you if you have to worry.

Well guess im just all tummy then lol
I havent really had any nausea or vomiting throughout my pregnancy & i hadnt weighed myself
In a really long time, i thought i at least weighed 120 from how much i eat & how big my bump is, but im still tiny as ever lol
Im glad its normal at least!!

You don't have to gain a bunch of weight to have a healthy pregnancy.
