Weight Gain?

[Lyia19]

Im 17 weeks and haven't gained a pound! I eat a lot so I dont understand. What else can I do to put on some weight???

I alm well basically done with my pregnancy and I've only gained 25 lbs, baby is at normal and healthy weight.I'm still eatting normally and as a pregnant woman should! Just remember that our bodies grow differently so when your doctor tells you that you NEED to gain that much weight, don't go to the drive thru to pack on weight.

weight is not a reliable factor during pregnancy
if baby is growing fine then thats all t hat matters:)
baby will get enough nutrients from you, just try eating healthy.
take your prenatal vitamins, calcium pills (or take food with calcium) and you should be fine:)
you need to be a strong mommy. cause although if you do not eat baby will still steal your nutrients

Ok at the beginning they said I was suppose to gain 45 lbs total so when I didnt gain I was wondering.

Ill be 30 weeks on Saturday and I've gained 6 pounds...don't try and put on weight you might not be able to lose it all after you deliver my doctor told me I was fine as long as the baby was getting the nutrition he needed...I probably won't gain very much more weight

I had this issue, so far I have put on 5lbs and I'm 26 weeks. My ob said everything is fine as long as the baby was growing, that it wasn't necessary to put on weight. He also told me to stop trying to put on weight that the baby had plenty to eat/drink due to my placenta holding extra vitamins and nutrients that the baby could access.

Don't try to put weight on.. Why are you trying?
