Is she right!

So the nutritionist told me I'm going to have a premie sized baby because I'm so small :/ I was 178 before I was pregnant I dropped down to 162 during my first trimester and part of my second because I was so sick and couldn't keep much down but now I'm 171.4 and I'm 26w2d so now in my mind I feel like I need to really try to gain some weight in hopes my baby gets bigger my tummy barely sticks out its depressing u can only tell I'm pregnant If I have on a tight shirt and ppl still think I'm only 4 months instead of 6 1/2

Well girl If You are Talking About Weight I Honestly Dont Think Thats True. I Dont Think She knows. Im 8 Months, Gunna be 9 Months Soon and I Weight 142 and My Nutritionist Told Me Im Fine. I Got Sent to A Specialist Cause They Said My Babygirl Wasnt Growing And I Been Going And They tell Me Shes Fine, Im Small As Well But My Baby Is At The Right Size And Weight So Dont Worry. Have U Gotten A Special Ultrasound To See How Big Your baby is and How Much He/She Weights??

I'm 25 weeks and weight 161 pounds. I feel big but people tell me that I don't really look pregnant. I honestly don't think it means that you're having a premature baby.

Your nutritionist doesn't know what he/she is saying and shouldn't tell u that to begin with unless your doc confirms u are having an under weight baby. But a lot of women loose weight but their baby is getting the right amount of nutrition

Not true. I weighed 112 before getting pregnant, the day I delivered I was 144. I was 39+3 and my baby boy was born very healthy at 6lbs 4oz

My mom was just over 100 lbs prepregnancy with her first and lost 20 lbs due to morning sickness. She ended up having a baby over 8 lbs. So, no... I don't think your midwife is correct.

Only an ultrasound can tell doctors if the baby is growing well, not the size of your stomach

I have thick thighs and super big boobs but I don't have a stomach so the nutrionist thinks my baby isn't growing enough

171 doesn't sound that small too me. I wouldn't be concerned unless your doctor is worried about it. Some people don't gain at all because of morning sickness throughout the whole pregnancy.

Thats not true. I lost a good 25 pounds with my first and he was 6 lbs 15 oz. As long as you eat right

I was 200 pounds pre pregnancy I'm now 150 and my baby is measuring big. Loosing weight is not always a bad thing and if your doctor say the baby size is fine then you are fine

That's not true at all... As long as you have a good diet now and are eating right, you should be fine. Lost of women lose weight due to morning sickness, you still have 14 weeks to build your little baby and its fat
