Below normal range

This app is always telling me that my weight is "below normal range" and i hate it!!!! It makes me feel bad.  I eat healthy and i feel like I finally got my appetite back and started gaining some weight. But it makes me feel terrible every time :/

It says I'm just under range too. I'm 22 weeks tomorrow & have gained 8lb since my pre-pregnancy weight. Everyone comments on the smallness of my bump, but I just think it means less weight to shift once I've given birth, and that will probably only be 'baby weight'. Just think of it like that ;-) Oh and I eat healthily too.

For me, bub is small (Interuterine growth restriction) and low in fluid also. But I have seen many women carry 'small' and have perfectly healthy bubs within a good weight range.  Don't stress. As Emlue said, you shouldn't be concerned unless your dr is. Best of luck.

I'm 37wks and I'm still "below range" on this app. As long as ur doctor isn't worried, you shouldn't be. You can't starve the baby anyways, he/she will always take what they need from u :) Just keep up ur healthy eating and ur doctor will advise u of any adjustments u might need to make If there's any!

Thanks!  It just worries me because everyone keeps telling me that I am not gaining enough and that my baby will be small. So I'm just worried.

Ignore it.  Depends on weight etc prior to being pregnant. My weight has changed very minimal and im 'tiny'. My midwife no longer even gets me to weigh myself because she isnt concerned due to my body 'type' . Generalization isn't always correct for everyone.
