Gaining weight

I'm 24 weeks and I've only gained about 4 pounds. I wasn't underweight when I got pregnant, but now it seems like no matter how much I eat I cannot gain. Is anyone else having this problem and know of any healthy ways to gain some weight. I just don't want to affect my babygirls weight gain.

Thanks everyone. I'm only concerned because I'm already a high risk pregnancy and my last ultrasound they said she was on the lower side of the weight percentile.

I didnt gain that much weight either, but im only 17 weeks. are you taking your prenatal vitamins? as long as your eating heathy, your baby should be fine. make sure youdo let your doctor know about your concern.

If you look at my post No Gain from last night you'll get a few answers! Quite a few people responded. I'm having the exact same issue, but losing pounds instead of gaining. I'm actually going to see my nutritionist today! If I find any good info out, I'll let you know:)
