I had only gained 2 lbs at 18 weeks, my doctor told me I should have gained around 10 by then, but baby was growing fine so I didn't really worry.

Is the baby growing ok, cause as long as baby is growing you dont have to worry with my youngest daughter i gained 8 pounds in the first 2 mths then by the time i had my daughter i lost 50lb from start of pregnancy to finish.
