dont panic. My midwife says it varies from person to person and baby will always get the nutrients it needs first.

I am plus sized before pregnancy but am now 17 weeks and have lost 10lb so as long as you are eating sensibly and regularly i dont think its an issue.

I'm 31weeks and i weigh about the same i did pre pregnancy.
I lost 11lbs in first and up until middle of second trimester and started gaining slowly from 20weeks onwords. however i have a big bump and baby is weighing and measuring above average so i wouldnt worry. 6lbs is a good amount at your stage as i was still 11lbs down at that point.

I had the same concerns, I have only gained 5 pounds since the start of this pregnancy with my other kids I was up atleast 12-15 pounds by now. Doc said its fine as long as the baby is growing and measuring on point. I get scans every 3 weeks and my little guy is doing great. Im sure you LO is fine

I had only gained 2 lbs at my 20 week appt and my dr was not worried at all.... Little Mason is growing well, and the doc said not to worry about my weight, just make sure to eat well and take my prenatal's. I think we worry a little too much about weight... as long as you and the baby are healthy, you should be fine.

Normal.
Im a healthy weight girl and only gain 20 pounds my whole pregnancy. After 20 weeks it comes on faster

I've only gained 2-3lb from 7 weeks pregnant to now and my baby is measuring ahead. I really wouldn't worry aslong as you eat when you can!. Midwife doesn't seem worried and siad the weight gain will probably start as the baby gets bigger, remember it is still very small and if you aren't carrying alot of water, you won't gain much yet.
