weight gain

 Hi everyone,

Is anyone experiencing very little weight gain? I have been weighing myself and thrying to keep close track, with my first pregnancy I really gain a lot and my second the normal amount but so far with this one I have only gain 1 or 2 lbs depending on the day.  It just seems strange to me.  I am eating, I would say my normal amount.

I has ms with both my pg and I didn't gain any weight at all! I lost it and weighed less at the end than at the start and had two 7lb babies. I wouldn't worry too much.

I think I'm right on tract or a few pound over the norm, but I have been soooo hungry I would not worry your baby is getting what she needs

 i had the same problem until 2 weeks ago.. i have had bad ms, and lost lots and lots of weight.. but 2 weeks ago i had a very bad flu and am still suffering from very bad cough, add to it i broke a grinder while eating dates!! so DH got crazy and blamed it all to my weight loss and not getting enough nutrition so my immunity is zero plus that the baby is sucking nutritions from my body -from my teeth and thus!! so now i literally am forced to eat for 2!! and BOM i started gaining weight like quickly!!

i used to think it is ok as i have read tons of stories about women who didn't gain a pound during their pregnancy, but now i would really suggest that you ask your doctor to see if your weight gain is fine.. i was having lots of issues till i started gaining some weight.. how is your vitality? are you feeling ok overall?

according to most charts you should have gained 6 pounds by now,  i have read that most women have higher metabolism during pg, and that you need to add 200-600 calories to get a balance diet!!

im nearly 21 weeks and i have put on 1 stone....but i have read that this is right

 I think it also depends on what your body is like going into pregnancy. If you're heavier-set, you can stand not to gain much. However, if you're already thin, you should probably be gaining more. What do your Dr/MWs say, su_gar? 

 I have an appt tues and so it has been 4 weeks since last oneat that one they said the 1 lb was fine...so I will ask on monday..i might try to scam an ultrasound out of it  I feel great although my DH would love if I could stay up a little later at night but I have always loved to sleep so thats no too different.
