Brandi J. - 112 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It is different for everyone. I don't gain much if anything until a few weeks into my 2nd trimester, and then all of a sudden I make up for it! I will usually have a 7 lb gain month, followed by a 10 lb gain month, and then it will go back down to 4 lbs/mo. etc. It is different for everyone though. I think that if your doc. is not concerned and you are eating when you are hungry and eating healthy then you should not stress.

mommy-of-3 - 116 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) As long as you're eating when you're hungry I wouldn't be too concerned. I would ask your doctor what they feel would be a good weight gain for you at this point just to make sure.

MelissaJoanne - 120 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If you are underweight you should gain about 35 pounds during your pregnancy. The weight may all come later in your pregnancy though. Check with your doctor to make sure everything is well, and if so, don't worry about it.

CourtneyR26 - 120 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You should gain about 30 lbs total. Its ok that you only gained 1 lbs so far. You may gain it all in the end. Main thing is eat healthy and excersise.

pregnantegyptian - 120 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) between 10-16 pounds is what my doctor told me. I am 4 pounds over of what i am supposed to gain. But i guess that's all of delicious food i have been eating.

eastern-Canadian-Lady - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am 19 weeks by US date, and 22 by dates. I have lost 31 lbs, then was told that I gained 1 last Friday, and today the ob/gyn told me that have lost another 2 since since Friday. The US all say the baby is showing small, but that could be bc of dates. (I had gotten off of meds in fall that could potentially have caused my ovulation to be late.) the ob/gyn said I should have gained somewhere between 10 and 14 lbs by now. He said that The baby seems fine though. the blood work is good, the us was good, and so was the urine. he wants to see me earlier than normal, but I think it was bc of cramping and spotting last week. I seriously would talk to the dr about it, but try not to worry. Everyone is different, so as long as you eat a little bit of everything things should be great. Hope this helps. Good luck, E-C-L

michaela - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Unless your dr has concerns then don't worry , continue to eat a really healthy diet, enjoy your pregnancy and you will probably put on quite a few pounds in the third trimester. Enjoy being able to wear normal clothes and count your blessings that you wont have much to loose after the baby's born. All the best. xx

Carmione - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Unless the dr is concerned about your weight gain or lack there of- I wouldn't worry. Everyone is going to gain a different amount of weight during pregnancy- nevermind what your metabolism was like prior to the preggers all that matters none now. Just as if your baby is gaining weight and getting all of the nourishment it needs it will be evident to your dr if you baby isn't. Don't worry too much. Try to enjoy your pregnancy as much as you can.

katznkt - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had only gained 4 lbs at 30 weeks, but the doctor kept saying that the baby was growing great and not to worry. Since then I have gained 6 more pounds and am almost 33 weeks. I havent changed my eating style, it just depends on the baby and its growth spurts. Remember, the baby doesnt start to put on major pounds until about the third trimester when they plump up. You can ask your doctor if youre worried, but otherwise eat well and enjoy the fact that youll have less weight to lose after the baby is born!

allisonjoey - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am 24 weeks and have gained 30 lbs.... Dr. Said she would rather I not be gaining that much but she is not worried about me. Everybody is different! as long as your doctor says your fine then don't worry!

septmommie - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) We're all different, are you showing a bit? Has your doctor commented? Do you feel like your getting enough, the baby will let you know if you're not!

Laura Ward - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) All women gain different amounts during their pregnancy. If your doctor is not concerned, you should be fine. Just continue to eat healthy, nourishing foods several times a day. During the last half of your pregnancy, your baby will be putting on weight...and likely, so will you!! Best wishes.
