quick question

so i know i post lots of questions about weight,
but i'm supposed to have gained anywhere between 10-15 pounds by 21 weeks.
i'm 20 weeks now and have gained........none.
but when i went in for my u/s baby was only measuring 2 days behind and was 6 ounces (at 18 weeks 5 days)
Should I be worried? I have a doctor's appointment next week. Do i need to mention this?

No! Two days behind is absolutely nothing to worry about! My daughter measured a week behind for half of my pregnancy and my doctor was never concerned! Try and remind yourself to take your vitamin though! No matter how healthy you eat, you're not getting all the necessary vitamins. I remind myself by placing a prenatal on my pillow every morning after I make my bed, so that before I go to sleep I remember to take it. Maybe put a sticky note on the fridge or cabinet so when you go for that milk with dinner or plate to fix your food you will take it right then(:

I'm in the same boat.. I haven't gained an ounce but my baby is measuring ahead.. Doctor said as long as I'm eating and takin my vitamins, no weight gain is fine.
