calories

Okay so I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I've only gained 11 pounds my whole pregnancy. Is it because I'm not getting enough calories? How many calories am I supposed.

I'm 33+5 and I've only gained 4 pounds. I eat constantly! Baby is growing (measuring big fundal height and on ultrasound), so my doc isn't worried. If yours hasn't said anything, just continue to eat when you're hungry and try not to stress about it. :)

I just delivered ten days ago and only gained twelve pounds. I was 36w when I went into labor and my son was 6lbs 12oz. I'm already back to my prepregnancy weight and I'm still kind of swollen.

Sheesh. I wish I was on that end. I'm 38 weeks and gained 45 pounds so far. Be happy to not gain too much, it's very hard to take off. I gained 70 pounds with my first. And it took me 2 1/2 years to take off. I'm just a weight gainer when I'm prego lol
