I didn't start gaining weight until I was about 26 weeks, just because your not gaining weight doesn't mean the baby isn't growing right nothing to be afraid of

I lost a lot of weight in the beginning of my pregnancy because I had an upper respiratory infection. Since then I haven't gained ANY weight but baby is doing just fine. Docs aren't concerned since baby and I are in good health. Weight gain, or lack their of, doesn't mean something is wrong.

You could just be all baby. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and you wouldn't really think I am pregnant when people ask how far along I am and I tell them they are shock, or ur baby could be lien right back. This is my 3rd pregnancy and iv been small my bump usually gets big just before I pop. Call in and see midwife and she will measure u and put ur mind at rest

I lost alot of weight and didn't start gaining it back till after week 20! And even then I'm 32 weeks and have only gained 8 pounds! As long as your eating and drinking its of water you will be fine! Don't worry the weight will start to come in at the end!
