Try to relax.  as long as the baby is growing you will be fine.  Every pregnancy is different.  I am 30 weeks and i have only gained 7 lbs. and i lost about16-17 lbs in the beginning.  And everything is just fine.  

You will be okay!

There is nothing wrong with that everybody gains weight differently. You might just gain weight later on in the pregnancy. Don't worry about it.

I am nine weeks and have actually LOST 12 pounds. I eat very healthy, but am sick alot.  I was a little overweight before I got pg.  My RE has told me as long as the little bean is growing, and it is, everything is fine.  Sorry if TMI but I almost feel as if some of my "fat" is shifting to my mid area as my arms, legs, and face feel smaller.  My pants are getting snug, but I am not gaining weight.

How far along are you?  What does your doctor say?  Are you eating high protein foods?

I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and have only gained 2 lbs. So, don't worry as long as your little beanie is doing good that is all that matters.

When I found out I was pregnant I weighed myself the next day and was 205.6 lbs (at nearly 5 weeks).  I'm 18 weeks today and have only gained 4 lbs (tho it sure feels like more than that!!  lol).  I haven't seen a doctor to find out if this is okay, but I know I was a little overweight when I got pregnant and they recommend you gain between 20-30 lbs (tho it does depend on your pre-pregnancy weight ...underweight women are recommended to gain more).

I know my 'huge' weight gain is to come ...I just try to eat healthy and stay as active as I normally am (which really isn't much lol).  Don't forget that during your first trimester, it's normal not to gain a lot of weight b/c of nausea and indigestion and such.
