How much do you weigh? Sometimes girls on the bigger side don't gain any weight or very little and that's completely normal. If you're not on the bigger side I wouldn't stress just like your doctor said. Women put on quite s few pounds last trimester

Everyone is different...it also depends on ur starting weight as to how much weight u are supposed to gain. Alot of women are still in the negative at that point bc of sickness....as long as the ultrasounds are showing good than u are fine. Ur doctor will prob discuss weight gain options if they think its a problem

I'll be 7 months and I lost 20 pounds my first three months, I am currently under weight and my doctor says it's fine as long as you pick up some weight before you actually deliver

If your doctor doesn't stress it your fine you will see your weight increase later in pregnancy
