Hi! I'm 17weeks now but I'm really struggling to gain weight :( Just wondered if any of you had any help guys! x

Im 21 weeks today and so far I've only put on a few pounds. My big thing is putting on the waight anf then losing it some how. My dr said she wasn't worried about it. You still have plenty of time to put on weight.

That's reassuring! I've changed my diet abit to more cereal grains an veggies hopefully will start to put the pounds on! Good luck xxx

I'm also 17 weeks and I only gained 3lbs since I've been pregnant. My doctor told me it's normal and that I would gained a lot more my 3 trimester.

Im 17w and havent gained a pound.  Every body reacys differently to pregnancy. My first pregnancy i had gained 10-15 lbs by now but this baby wants mommy to stay the same! Good luck!

I'm 18 weeks and at first I lost 2 kg then I put some on but lost it again. I've not gained any weight and just when I think I have I lose it again.  Hopefully we'll both start putting on weight soon.

I wouldn't worry about it till you get to 20 plus weeks :)

A concern of mine non of my midwives have said anything regarding it, but I've always struggled with it I think I've had the same bmi since I was 16! x

Is this a concern from your doctor?  Or a concern from you?  I'm 20 weeks and I've gained 9lbs which is perfect :) I'm not over weight or under weight :) now I should gain about a lb a week!
