Weight!

Hey guys! So I'm a really small lady weighing only 93 lbs! I'm barley 5'1". I was 92 lbs before my pregnancy and I've only gained a pound at 12 wks 5 days! I've always had a weight problem even though I eat alottttt! I eat about 5-6 times a day (even eating more than my SO) but I still don't gain anything. My dr said it's my metabolism and that I shouldn't worry much because I will gain weight because of the water! Has anyone had this problem?? Did you get really big later on? Just curious! Thanks <3

I have always been skinny. I was 103 before I got pregnant and I didn't gain a single pound for the first 15 weeks.  I thought it would be hard to gain the weight because I have never been over 112lbs. I am new 28+2 and I have gained 20 pounds so far

Me. I had to talk to a dietician because I've never been able to gain weigh, even while not pregnant.  I started gaining at 24 weeks. I'm not 38 and gained 29 pounds.

with my 1st pregnancy I started at 100pounds (I am 5.1) and throughout the whole pregnancy I gained about 25 pounds. That was more than enough :) My baby was born small but healthy, no problems. Before her 4 years or so she was always in only 5 percentile. so what, we are small ladies ! :) During pregnancy I was really hungry at my first trimester and then regular till the end. I agree with your doctor that it's all your metabolism, if you always was like this and there's no like thyroid problems and you eat healthy and take vitamins now, there's nothing to worry about at all. Btw, my metabolism slowed down after I gave birth, so it was hard for me to lose those pounds and i never was again 100lb, managed only to 106lb, but we are all different.
