Don't worry too much I'm 13 weeks & have lost at least 6 lbs during my pregnancy. As long as your doctor isn't worried don't stess too much

You gain the most weight in the last 8 weeks. So you might barely gain now, and then pack it on fast toward the end which is normal.

I'm 36 weeks and still haven't hit my pre pregnancy weight. I lost 25 pounds in the beginning, and have gained 21 back so far. My doctors aren't worried though, everyone gains differently :)

Toward the end, they expect you to gain 1 pound per week! Dont worry, im 32 weeks and have only gained 11 pounds total. Its normal to not gain a lot in the beginning, your baby doesnt really start developing fat tissue until later on, so thats when they expect you to be gaining the most

I'm 23 weeks and have gained 5 lbs. Your doctor will let you know if you're gaining too much or too little.

No your lucky! I'm seven months and I've gained 40lbs so far! We're all different. Some don't gain anything until five or six months. Some even lose weight.
