Weight Gain

[Karinakins]

At what point in your pregnancy did you start gaining weight? I am 18 weeks and have not gained any weight. Pre pregnancy I weighed 226 then lost weight when I got pregnant. Down to 208lbs. Now I am 18 weeks and have not gained any pounds. Not sure when its normal to start gaining the weight? This is baby number 2 first baby i gained 2-3 lbs every month only gained about 26 pounds (boy) this baby is a girl and I just feel like its all new to me...

Be happy!:your not gaining any weight!  I gained 30lbs! And I'm recently losing weight! I actually lost 7 1/2 lbs and I'm very happy because my baby is weighing 5.14 and I'm 34+5 days and I don't want a big baby I'm only 4"11 and pre pregnancy I was 20 lbs over weight. Do you know what your having?

Oh man, you ladies hardly gained anything :'( lucky!!  I was 118 pre pregnancy now I'm at 163lbs and I couldn't be more depressed about it. Hopefully I am able to lose it quick lol.

Hey I'm 38 weeks and I've gained 4 pounds! My baby is also in the 45 the percentile. She's a paracite lol. Healthy baby and I'll weight less after birth than before I got pregnant. Us bigger girls don't have to gain weight for the baby to be healthy.

Just ask your doctor to make you feel better :) my doctor said my baby is nice and healthy so i Wouldn't worry to much

I am now at 20 weeks and had a drs appt yesterday. The first 12 weeks being pregnant I lost 15 pounds due to morning sickness then at my appt yesterday Ive officially gained 6 pounds of it back. Baby is normal weight and size. I crave healthy foods ( brussell sprouts, cooked spinach, and broccoli are multiple meals a week for me ( no im not vegetarian) but the calories im consuming are just healthy ones so my dr isnt concerned about that. Plus I cant say for sure but im a big believer that my baby boy has daddy's metabolism by the way I feel, My husband has an incredible metabolism!!

Thank you for the comments LiselMarie yes I will check with my dr next week just to make sure baby is healthy. That's my number 1 goal to keep my lil girl healthy .

Wow thats good so you maintained the weight for 20 weeks! Thats awesome.. maybe that's whats happening to me im just maintaining the weight too. :)

I had gained about 10 lbs by 20 weeks, and 20 total so far (35 weeks), but I had no morning sickness and very little nausea so eating hasn't been a problem. Your Dr would mention it if they were concerned, and as long as baby is growing everything should be fine.
