Not Gaining Weight???

I'm 17wks and 3days and I haven't gained weight yet. Physically I have a baby bump but pounds wise, I'm not gaining any weight. "Pre baby weight" vs now, I've actually lost 2lbs. Is anyone else having the same "issue"?

I'm 19 weeks and lost 10 pounds and haven't been able to gain any of it back yet... The doctor said it was normal that I should start gaining weight after the 20 weeks...

Don't worry, I didn't gain weight until 19 weeks... I'm almost 21 weeks and I've gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks! I guess it's making up from not gaining weight before lol

I'm 17wks2d and am going through the same, actually lost 10 pounds but no morning sickness just really bad food aversions. And no belly either yet, but my baby's huge and healthy so that's all that really matters :)

I am. I'm 19 weeks and 5 days and I've lost 5 pounds and still haven't gained weight. My doctor said it's normal. I have a bump too but I was worried. My ob said I'll start gaining weight as the pregnancy progresses. On the bright side you won't have a ton of baby weight to lose once your baby gets here :) my first pregnancy I only gained 24 pounds and I was back to my old self 4 weeks later :) try not to worry :) just keep eating healthy.
