not gaining weight

So I am almost 30 weeks and my prepregnancy weight was 177, I am now at 179. I suffered a broken ankle last month and am getting over bronchitis and a stomach virus right now. I am worried that the fact that I am only 2 lbs heavier than when I got pregnant will somehow hurt my baby even though he has looked perfect in ultrasounds. I have tried to bring it up to my ob but no one seems to want to talk about it. Should I be worried?

At my 35 week appointment I was down 18 pounds still.  The Dr says that's fine so I don't worry.  I gained no weight between week 33 and 35 so don't worry mama everyone gains (or loses) differently

I am 17 weeks and down 28.5 pounds due to other health issues. Down to 156pounds.    My doc isnt too concerned.  I am just going to double my prenatal vitamins since my diet is so limited. If they arent concerned and you are eating good baby is likely doing great!

If your doc isn't concerned and baby is growing I would not worry.

I was 175 and now 201 at 30 weeks. I've gained a little too much.. But as long as your doc isn't concerned you should be okay.
