Just because you are not gaining weight doesnt mean there is something wrong. Your dr will let you know if they are concerned you are not gaining weight. Dont force the weight because remember you have to loose it afterwards. You gain most of your weight in the 3rd trimester anyways when baby puts on the most weight and after 32 weeks they are almost putting on a half pound per week! Your body will gain what it needs to gain to keep you and baby healthy.

I just went thru that and I am 36 weeks!! I lost 4 lbs between my 34 and 36 week appt. My dr said no worries your baby is still growing just fine :) Just less weight for me to have to loose after my baby is born.

Eat what you can even if its little tiny amounts of things or fruit or veggies or just little snacks. Drink lots of water as that always helps me I think keep stuff down. Especially with the heat you need to drink extra water as your body will get dehydrated quicker. You could do the BRAT diet to keep stuff down. Its bananas rice applesauce and toast. Those are all things that are easy on your stomach and its normally what people are told to do after having the flu for a while. Good luck to you. If your dr wasnt concerned tho I wouldnt worry about it.

Your weight is perfectly fine, I promise the baby will be fine. I continuously lost weight while pregnant from HG and never gained anything. A couple of pounds won't matter, most of your gain will come in the last trimester. Just make sure you eat when you're hungry and don't eat junk and fast food a lot. If you do, everything will be fine.
