Having a hard time gaining weight

I was lucky to not have morning sickness with this pregnancy so I didn't lose any weight.. I'm 115 and I've gained only 2 lbs I'm 16 weeks and I eat all the time so I don't understand why I haven't gained much weight

My midwife said that you metabolize any extra weight you had first, so I didn't start gaining weight until a few weeks ago. I'm 23 weeks now. I did not start small, but if you're eating healthy and making sure you're getting enough water and protein (3 litres and 100 grams a day, apparently), then I would not worry.

I'm 25 weeks and haven't gained anything. I'm still down 1 pound from my start weight. They aren't concerned cuz baby is actually measuring big so he is obviously getting enough

I wouldn't worry, that is a fine amount of weight for 16 weeks. Your doctor will say if you should worry
