weight

So I started out at 111 pounds and have only gained 2 pounds as of right now. I'm 17w and this app says I should have gained 5 to 9 pounds by now.. Should I be worried or is it common or what...

I was worried when I saw the app scale too. I didn't start a mass weight gain until my 6th/7th month. Then I gained 15 out of nowhere! Doctors were worried about my lack of weight in the beginning, but now I'm 10 over what "I'm supposed to be".

I wouldn't worry.  I didn't start gaining till 20 weeks and I am preggers with two.  As long as your dr isn't concerned u shouldn't be either

I am 30 + 2 weeks i should gain 15 to 20 pounds but i have only gained 7 pounds. So dont stress about the weight it come. Its important that your baby is at a healthy weight.

Dont stress. Its normal. I also started at 111 and just started gaining at 10 weeks. Some even loose several pounds before gaining any weight. You should start to gain soon tho. Being in your 2nd trimester. I would ask your dr her/his thoughts. Since every pregnancy is different.
