Weight gain versus weight of baby?

[KTowne]

I'm 16w6d and have gained about 2lbs so far, I'm glad I've only gained little, but some days I show a lot, some days I show not at all. I gained pretty quickly with my son, and he was 8lbs 9.5ozs, I have an U/S next friday, and I'm a little nervous the baby is going to measure behind, any advice, experiences, input? I'm eating just fine, and I haven't had any morning sickness so I'm not sure why I'm not gaining quicker, I actually crave crappy food more than normal so I thought I'd be gaining more!

Well I hope my body keeps up the good work! Haha, I was working out and exercising before I got pregnant with this one, I wonder if that's what it is? I hope baby is right on track!! Thank you ladies!

Your baby and body will take what it needs from what you're eating!! And remember you're still pretty early so you have plenty of time to gain weight still!! Usually the second go around your body knows it doesn't need the extra calories till a little later in pregnancy!! :)

With my first I gained almost 40 lbs and she weighted 6lbs 8ozs at birth and with my second I gained 25 lbs and she was 6lbs 15ozs at birth. I agree that the second time around your body just knows.

I hope the baby gains properly, just worrisome that the baby is gaining properly, so that's why I'm not? I don't know! I'll find out friday!

With my son I gained 20lbs and he weighted 8lbs 5oz. With my daughter I gained 8lbs the entire pregnancy and she was 6lbs 15oz. Because of the way she was positioned my fundal height measured behind at
32wks. But everything turned out fine

With my first I gained 33 pounds my entire pregnancy and he was 6 pounds 11 oz and with my second I gained 26 pounds my second pregnancy I was eating lots of junk food so I thought I would gain more and I looked smaller then my other pregnancy. I had him he was 6 lbs 14 oz. I'm not sure if it has anything with your weight versus the baby's weight. I started in the negative with losing then gaining weight with my second according the the medhelp tracker until I was 15-17 weeks only 2 pounds.

I hope the baby is a good weight and everything, I hope it's measuring on time too! Worries me!

I'm 22 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds my baby is measuring 23 weeks though and is a pound and a half I havent really had a big appetite bc I had been so sick doctor said everything looks great though

With my first my weight gain was 64 pounds, he weighed 7.5 pounds. My second my weight gain didn't start till the second trimester. I only gained 23 pounds with my second. I think your body knows what's going on the second time around and is able to control the weight gain better. (As in not gaining a lot really fast, kinda over time.) My second weighed 6.9 pounds.
This pregnancy is a whole different story LOL.
Youre baby should be good!! :)
