Is this normal???

[kawky]

So i have a 18 months old daughter. Before i got pregnant with her i weighed 105, after delivery i weighed 152. Im currently 11 weeks 5 days pregnant and ive been losing weight. I had morning sickness but it seems to be gone. I eat everything that sounds good to me. Im worried cause im weighing at 146 right now. What can i do to gain weight? I take my prenatals every morning and i try and stay awake from caffeine. Please someone help me.

It can be normal yes, but little of it is likely from the pregnancy. At 11 weeks baby is 2 inches long and is not large enough to cause a huge belly. Subsequent pregnancies generally will show sooner, only because the muscles have been stretched previously. In the long run, how big or small you are doesn't tell too much.

But would it be normal for me to be looking 5 months pregnant instead of 3 cause i have wide carring hips from my daughter and my mother said she got huge like the 2 nd month. I eat only what im craving cause if i eat something that doesny look appitizing to me then i dont eat it I know i will throw up. I know for a fact my baby is gaining weigh cause the ultrasound look prefect :)...

Thank ladies alot you have encouraged me :)

You can drink slim fast.  That will help You GAIN weight if you eat normally along with it. Boost, and other nutrient drinks will work as well. It o ly makes you lose weight if you don't eat bc it has the calories and nutrients you need and by eating you areally getting double. Good luck.

I weighed 159 when I got pregnant I am now 11w2d and weigh 146. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I lost with all Of them I lost 25 with my second and had to a special prenatal to make me gain but as long as baby is not being deprived of nutrients and is gaining weight then u don't need to worry

Baby will take everything it needs from your own body, at the cost of your own health. My daughter came out a very healthy 6 pounds 12 ounces and now at almost 16 months is very active and healthy. It's vital that you do not skip meals. Your body is working hard to support you as well as nourish another life. You should be eating 3 large meals a day or 6 smaller ones.

While pregnant your stomach will never be 'hard' unless you have a contraction. It will otherwise be slightly more firm than usual. You're also not that far along. The uterus is only just now rising from behind the pelvis and causing any form of belly. Anything prior to this would be caused by bloating and retention.

There are times i do skip meats cause im just to tired or dont have much of an appetite to eat. But i do drink alot of fluid like juices. Im just scared that my baby isnt gaining weigh cause im not gaining weight. I do have a belly but its not that hard yet its kinda squishy like fat...is that normal also?

As long as you're eating properly and not skipping meals, there's not too much that you can do. Make sure you're eating high calorie foods as well. When I was pregnant with my daughter I never gained weight. The day before I had her I weighed less than I did pre-pregnancy.
