16 weeks and no weight gain, I'm starting to worry!!

I'm the same...i'm quite tiny. I was a normal BMI 118 pounds, went down to about 112 after MS , now clocking 117-119 lbs. So no real gain. I know of so many friends who ate like crazy through their pregnancies and were always hungry. I worry a lot because that's so NOT me!

I'm eating small meals every 2-3 hours. All healthy foods- eggs, oats, yoghurt, brown breads, veggies and fruits. But I am not putting on much weight and I am not hungry most times. Doc so far seems ok with it, glad to see I'm not alone.

I've lost 20 pounds since getting pregnant, a steady one pound per week loss. My doctor isn't concerned. As long as you're eating properly, it isn't a problem. Your body will take care of the baby, calorie and nutrition-wise. You just have to worry about taking care of yourself. Also, the lack of weight gain is awesome! Don't force yourself to gain weight unless your doctor says to, and that would only happen if you're underweight or if your baby is on the smaller side.

I wouldn't worry. I've gained a total of 4 pounds.

I'm 22+3w and am still 16lbs UNDER my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm eating enough aswell don't understand how I can't be putting weight on. At my 20 week scan baby boy was fine so I'm not panicking. When my mum was pregnant with my brother she started pregnancy at 12 stone and gave birth at 10!! Stange.

Sooo...I weighed myself today, and I'm back where I started pretty much. I've only gained 1-2 pounds after losing some...I'm going to try and eat better and pack more nutrients in, and be better about taking my prenatals, and see where that gets me.
