Not gaining weight!!!!

[curly_carly_RN]

I'm 20 weeks and have only gained 5 lbs, if that!! This app says I should be 8- 13 lbs more. I saw a nurse practioner and she said I was fine and that you should only gain 10~15 lbs during pregnancy, which seemed very low!! I'm a nurse as well but this is my first baby and I don't if its okay.

If you are on the heavy side you really don't need to gain any weight.  As long as the baby is on track then there is no problem. I lost 30 lbs. With first, 20 lbs. With 2nd, so far have stayed the same with 3rd. Mine was because I changed my eating habits.  I lost weight and still had two 7+Lb. Babies.  Even if you are not a bigger girl and the baby is gaining weight, dont worry about it.

Thats how much i gained when i was 20 weeks, only 5lbs. Doctor told me i should only gain 10-15lbs this whole pregnancy, cause i was somewhat on the heavy side before i got pregnant

I'm almost 32 weeks and I've only gained 8 pounds.

That's totally fine!! 5 pounds @ 20 weeks is nothing to be concerned about.

I'm 25 weeks and have only gained like 6lbs both my doctor and wic nurse are happy with dmy weight gain. So as long as they're happy I don't think we have anything to worry about :)

How much you gain depends on a lot of factors.  If the nurse said you're fine, then you are.
I gained 16 pounds my whole pregnancy.
That was a healthy amount for me to gain.
