22-1-2010 - A little worried

My mood while writing this blog:
Ok

I'm just getting a little worried. Since I've gotten pregnant I haven't gained a pound. In fact I've fluxuated between being down 2-3 pounds since the day I found out. I weigh myself each week at the same time. I don't uderstand. I'm definitely eating more than I did before I got pregnant. If I'm craving something a bit unhealthy I eat it. I'm not eating crazy healthy either. I'm starting to get a little worried. I mean I'm 16 weeks today and I still haven't gained any weight. I've gained some belly. Nothing huge but the baby is definitely growing. I'm still just worried but I don't know if this is normal or if I should just starting eating all the time whether I'm hungry or not. My mom didn't gain much weight with me, but I would have still expected at least a few pounds by now. I know the baby needs me to gain weight, and I don't know why I'm not. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

remember-your baby is about 4-6oz! at 16wks i had only gained 2lbs also. don't worry sweetie! you are just fine. if you are really worried about your weight, then talk to your doc, but i was just like you at 16wks freakin out why i hadn't gained more weight, but its perfectly normal only to gain 2-3lbs at this stage in pregnancy.

Hi hun - i had the exact same worry as you. I now am 2st 8lb lighter than i was when i found out i was pregnant, & during my pregnancy for the first 24wks i hardly ate & was vomitting all the time & didnt have any appetite, then for the remainder of the pregnancy i had gestational diabetes and was on tablets which restricted the babys weight gain & i still had a perfectly healthy 6lb 11oz baby although i didnt actually look pregnant...and i honestly mean that, my neighbour stopped me last week when she seen me with the baby and was absolutely gobsmacked that i`d had one as she hadnt known i was pregnant as i hardly had a tummy. I carried my baby in my back with her feet firmly stuck in my ribs! haha So dont worry, everyone is different but i think we are one of the lucky ones, i was expecting to be on a strict diet round about now trying to loose about 4 stone of pregnancy weight and am lighter than i have been in years! haha And if it makes you feel any better, most of my 9lb weight gain that i actually put on during pregnancy i put on in the last 10wks when the baby has a growth spurt. Enjoy being pregnant hun, it is such an amazing feeling, especially once you start to feel the baby kicking the crap out of you! haha...i really envy all you have to come, its the most amazing journey you will ever go on so keep smiling and your precious cargo will smile too! Love Jo xxx (p.s. what food i actually managed to eat when i was pregnant was pure and utter crap as i went off everything i actually like to eat - and i can count on one hand the amount of fruit i ate! oops haha xx)

Your a 1st timer. I didn't even start to show with my 1st until 6 months and then I popped. I gained 50 lbs with him! lol

Don't worry ~ everybody is different. Talk to your doc next time and see what she thinks. If the doc's not concerned then you shouldn't be either. Just try to focus on enjoying every bit of your pregnancy!
