not gaining any weight...

Today I'm 15 weeks. Ever since I was 8 weeks  I have maintained the same weight. Every doctor appointment I goto they're like "oh still the same weight". I've hardly had morning sickness...and I have a pretty good appetite, I know every pregnancy is different, but should I be worrying or will I just start gaining a little later on? As of right now I'm not too worried...my doctor hasn't said anything about it. Maybe I'll be lucky and only gain like 30-40 pounds. A girl at my work gained 90!!!

I'm 16 weeks and have only gained 1 pound. My Dr. said she's not worried because a lot of women actually lose weight in their first trimester. So you're normal, don't worry! :)

I'm 30 Weeks and 5 days and have worried about the same thing but I also lost weight at the beginning and all my doc says is as long as baby is measuring right then he is not worried.

I didn't start gaining weight til about 23weeks. as long as you are eating at least 3 good meals a day don't stress. My doctor said the baby takes everything it needs and you'll get all the "leftovers" lol. try snacking in between meals!
