No Weight Gain???

[Holldoll]

I have only gained a 1/2 lbs. Should I be worried? I'm thinking about calling my dr. but I don't want to bug him over lame stuff. I always worry about being the little boy that cried wolf, if I bug him when it's really important he won't believe me!

I don't think you should worry hon. I've gained 3lbs in total so far lol and the doctor said it was ok, as the baby is growing fine and normal. When's your next appointment?

I wouldn't worry if I were you. Enjoy it while it lasts. Pretty soon, you will be putting on some weight. The amount just depends on your body. As long as you are eating right, there is nothing to worry about.

Thanks! My next appointment is next Monday. I won't worry about it. He told me last time a lot of his patients start eating really healthy so they lose weight and then not gain very much. That's not the case for me. I had lost 25 lbs. before I got pregnant and was the lowest I've weighed since high school. Then in my first tri. I lost another 6 lbs. So I'm back to 8 oz. above my pre-pregnancy weight. I'll not worry about it and then ask him about it on Monday.

I made my DH get on the scale this morning because for the last 3 days I was the exact same weight to the ounce, so I thought it was broken, alas, it wasn't.

So you won't have long to wait to ask the doctor if its bugging you still. I think the most weight gain happens near the tail end of the 2nd tri and the 3rd. I think its in the 3rd tri that at a certain point we start gaining 1-2lbs a week

I would be celebrating to only gain that amount hun!!! Don't worry babe, you are being monitored at appointments right?, if there are any concerns, they will soon investigate!

I wouldn't worry much. I'm only a week behind you and I've LOST 20lbs!

I wouldn't be worried, I didn't start gaining weight until around 18 weeks, I lost a lot of weight from morning sickness too, but i'm sure you'll start to gain weight in the next couple or weeks =]

I haven't gained much either maybe about a pound or two. But my belly is getting bigger.

 

[smartie]

I am yet to start gaining weight but my belly is defo getting bigger!

 

[TryingAgain]

I didn't really gain any weight until the last couple of weeks, now my bump really seems to be growing & my weight has started to creep up!!

I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if your next appointment is on monday you could just mention it anyway, just to put your mind at rest!!

I didnt gain any weight at all at my last OB appt, but I have been weighing myself at home and in the last 4 weeks I have gained 4 lbs. I wouldnt worry, even though this was a big worry of mine and still is, my doc says that a lot of women dont really start to put on any weight until the 20th week or so.

i only gained 1/2 lbs per month in the 2nd tri but last two weeks of the 2nd tri i put on 10 lbs and then another 3 the following two weeks but then only 3/4 lb for the past two weeks --- so its normal--- supposedly most people begin to gain in the second and third the most---with me it was all in the first tri and now in the third tri--- so everyone is different but for most people its second and third tri--- so weight gain for all of u is just around the corner--- lol ---

oh and jenny--- the 3rd tri weight gain is supposedly 1/2 lb to a 1 lb a week course the occasional 2 is just fine too

and 1st tri its more like 3-4 lbs for the whole thing--- course thats virtually impossible for most people--- me being one of them (18 1/2 lbs gain 1st tri)

so at 30 weeks weight gain is up to 30-32lbs for me
