Did anyone else take a long time to gain weight?

I'm almost 18 weeks and have not really gained yet. Maybe like 1-2 pounds. My stomach does look like it's growing, though. I feel like I gained a little quicker with my first pregnancy but I can't remember !

I have only gained 1 lb so far lol. This is my first and trying my best not to gain alot of weight considering I already am a plus size gal.

That's great ! I'm sure you will do an awesome job maintaining your weight!

I gained 0 pounds by 22 weeks (starting at an average weight of 135 pounds 5ft8in tall). Between 22-27 weeks, I finally started gaining and am up 9 pounds suddenly.

Yes, I have had this in both my pregnancies (so far). I am average weight, but just didn't gain much. With #1, I lost 14lbs in the first trimester (I wasn't really that sick, just seemed to lose) then gained it back slowly. I was only 7lbs above my pre pregnancy weight when I gave birth.

This time I lost 4-5lbs in the first trimester and haven't gained anything back yet at 16 weeks. Last time I wasn't weighed at all by the midwife and was only weighed at booking this time. My daughter weighed 8lb 14oz at birth and this one is growing well so far so I am not concerned.

All of my pregnancies have been different, except I lost 25 pounds with every delivery.

With my first-born, I had lost 10 pounds by 20 weeks along and then had gained that 10 back PLUS another 50 pounds by the time I had that baby!

I lost 7 pounds throughout my pregnancy with my second-born!

I gained 35 pounds with my third and was gaining ounces before even getting my BFP.

I gained 19 with my fourth.

I'm 24 weeks along with my fifth and haven't gained any weight, but I look big!

I weighed myself on Fri and have put on 3kg. 21+3wks I thought it would beencourage loads more. I think I lost 1 or 2kg in the first 6wks.

I'm overweight to begin with. 5ft 1 and I float between 190 and 200lbs. So far I haven't gained anything and am heading into week 21.

Thanks for the input, ladies! I guess I shouldn't be too concerned. I know I'll probably put it all on 20 weeks and beyond lol! As long as the babe is healthy.
