Has anyone else only gained just a few pounds? I started out at 169 and I am now only 4 pounds heavier? Is that normal? I eat like a cow! My Dr. doesn`t seem too concerned.

The lower starting weight, the more. I was pregnant with twins and told to gain 45-50lbs with the pregnancy due to my starting weight. My friend was told by the same doctor to only gain 30-35lbs with her twin pregnancy due to her starting weight. All I know is that a baby will take from you before it will starve. LOL they're like really cute parasites.
