weight gain

[tsukitora]

Hey ladies I'm 25 weeks into my first pregnancy.  When I first got pregnant I was 208 and I dropped 14 pounds my first trimester. My last doctors appointment July 8th I was up to 196. I haven't really gained any more weight since than. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this to. My doctor said it was normal but everything else I'm reading says I'm below average and I'm starting to worry. Is there anything I can do to gain more weight.  I eat healthy and everything just not gaining anything.

I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one. I am glad that it seems to be normal. It just scared me. We tried so hard for this little guy. We had to do fertility treatments so I don't want anything to comprise his health

No worries I was 138 at 5"11 at 5 weeks and im 142 at almosr 18 weeks. I was worried bc I gained over 50 with my son. But all seems to be just fine.

If you are overweight they say you really only need to gain about 10lbs at most....I weighed 155 when I got pregnant with my first, lost 5lbs, then gained back 19.... my doctor was actually happy about my weight because they considered me slightly overweight....I had a perfectly healthy 7lb 9oz baby girl and now that I'm pregnant again im hoping to not gain more than 15lbs or so.... Even if you lose weight while pregnant your baby should be fine..... The only time a dr would really worry about you losing weight or not gaining is if you're underweight!! Don't worry, your baby will get the nutrients it needs from wherever it can no matter what you gain or lose!!

I'm 18+3 and I've lost 16.5lbs and my Dr says its fine because your body will take care of baby first and you get the left overs so if your in good health so is baby.

I was 175lb pre pregnancy and at 36 weeks i was 154lb and by the time i gave birth i was 41 weeks weighing 161lb. My midwife and doctor said it was totally and i gave birth to a little girl weighing 8lb6oz! Now 6 weeks pp im pretty much back to my pre pregnancy weight! (Not buy choice! Haha) i was pretty much sick through my whole pregnancy!

I'm just worried I'm not gaining enough weight for the baby.
