hi girls - question about weight in pregnancy

[Rachiebaby24]

Im asking you all cos you all been there and done that!!!

Below is the post that I posted in second tri and just wanted to know if there were anyone else who didnt put on much weight or something similar as what im going through and everything turned out ok and the baby is thriving.....


Just been to the doctor again because i finished my antibiotics and my urine infection isnt gone (i'm still getting cramps when I wee)...

Anyway i said i was concerned about my lack of weight gain and she weighed me and in february i was 67 kilos and now im 64.5 kilos and then she layed me on the bed and felt around my belly and said "are you sure your nearly 18 weeks?"

I have anotehr appointment booked for 8.30am next monday and if i havent put on any more weight or if i have lost then she is going to bring my scan forward and send me to hospital!!

Oh and there is still protein in my wee so she has sent it off to be looked at!!

Im so scared!! I must be small if she asked me if im sure about my dates.....what if the baby has stopped growing!?? I really wish i had a doppler now. I know i felt it the other day but what if im wrong and i only felt wind????

Honestly hun, in the beginning I lost weight, the middle I stayed about the same weight (didn't gain weight from Nov until the end of Jan) Then at the end I made up for all of that and blew up like a house! At your appointment they listened to babies heartbeat right? I'm sure everything will be ok. Did you have a 8-12 week dating scan? I've heard that those are more accurate than the 20 week ones. I'm not sure what the kilos translates into pounds, but if its at all similar, it doesn't look like you've lost a lot, so thats good. If everything is all fine, trust me, you will be happy you didn't start gaining a lot in the earlier days! Most women gain plenty in third tri.

Try not to stress, everything will be ok.

My doctor asked me the same thing because at 20 weeks I hadn't gained much and still looked no where near pregnant. I almost found it insulting as she thought I was dieting, anyway I ended up gaining 50 pounds. I ended up sprouting toward the end (28+ weeks). My baby did end up being SGA but was completely healthy at birth, he was just smaller then most babies born at 39 weeks. Don't worry hun, I hope they move up your scan just to put your mind at ease
