weight gain

[nikalixxxshadows]

I'm 18 weeks pregnant today and I haven't been able to gain any weight. Is this normal, I eat what I'm supposed to but I lose weight before gaining it.

I was never able to gain weight since high school I'm now 26....I'm pregnant with my first kid n I wasn't able to gain much weight in the beginning now that I'm 24 weeks I've gained 20 lbs in a short amount of time...it came outta no where lol..I guess it all depends on your body

Thank you. It's just been worrying me cause my home nurse told me I'm supposed to gain between 25-30lbs  and I haven't been able to gain weight for a little over a year. I just want a healthy child. Should I eat anything special since I'm not gaining any weight??

Definitely want the case for me but my midwife told me once that some women gain a lot, some gain a little, and some don't gain at all. There are a lot of women on here who are in the 30 week range who've only gained 6-8lbs so you're prob fine. If baby's growing that's all that matters. Definitely mention it to your doc though just to be sure.
