weight gain

Is it normal to have a slow weight gain? I have a pregnancy app and it says that I should have gained about 10-15 pounds for 22 weeks and I've gained probably about 7 pounds.. Should I ask my doctor about it or no? Just curious (:

I am in the same boat I am not 16 weeks today and everyone is asking why I am so small I am not even showing and my cousins girl friends due date is after mine and she is huge I was like what the heck this will be my second baby and I was huge with my daughter but I wasn't showing til I was about 3 to 4 months and I know every pregnancy is different expecially if it's the opposite sex but every doctor visit they check your weight and your doctor should say something if they think anything is wrong and I weighted 126 when I found out I was pregnant and I was 6 weeks and now I am 16 weeks and I weight 116 I was thinking something was seriously wrong cause you should be gaining weight when pregnant not losing and I was 17 with my first and will be 24 on sunday the 17th but your doctor should let you know just don't stress cause that can make something go wrong

I'm 24 weeks and have only gained 6. I'm still 4 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. My doctor said that weight was just a number. My baby boy is growing and he is healthy and measuring a week bigger.

I haven't even gained a full five pounds yet and I'm thirty weeks. Most likely everything is fine. Your doctor should tell you if there's a problem.
