20 weeks and cant gain weight

[jacquiem47]

So i am 20 weeks pregnant and have only gained 3 pounds so far, i only gained 8 pounds my whole first pregnancy and my son was perfectly healthy. I am not a super slender person either, i am already overweight according to my bmi, But my doctor is beginning to worry and wants me to try to gain a little more weight, i just dont know what to do? I eat three meals a day and try to have healthy snacks in between meals! So if anyone has an idea on how i can gain some weight that would be awesome.

15w 6d i lost 6 and got it back for 3wks i have weighed the same.  Don't worry the baby takes what it needs.  But if your worry about the need get some "fruits and veggies"  or "juice+" pills both are dehydrated real fruit and veggies and mostly organic.  Keep eating the good stuff and don't try to fill up on junk just to make the scale happy.  Your baby will appreciate less gmo's and fat more than a happy scale.  :-)

I'm almost 36 weeks and I've only gained 7 lbs with this pregnancy. This is my third. Dr wasn't concerned until my last appt and found i hadn't gained anything in two weeks.

I am 37.5 weeks and have finally just gained 6lbs. My doc said as long as I am eating and the baby is growing she is good with it.

I'm only 9 weeks pregnant with my 3rd every pregnancy I lost about 15 to 20 PDS my first trimester... But after that I went from 150 to 217... Babies only weighed 6 and 7 PDS...I drank a lot of water but all my weight was in my stomach...unless he is going to tell you what you should do I would continue like you are as long as baby is healthy

I lost 8 lbs. I didn't start gaining weight until I was about 24 weeks. I gained the 8 lbs back plus 8 more. I'm 33 weeks now and lost a pound at my last appointment and that was the first time the doc said anything about me not gaining enough weight but he said he wasn't worried about it because the baby is right on track. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless the baby isn't gaining. Talk to your doc. He should be able to give you some ways or get you in touch with a nutritionist. Good luck.
