Weight gain?

[cmco]

Just had a checkup yesterday (14.5weeks) and my doctor says I've gained just two pounds so far--is that something to worry about? She said she wasn't concerned, but it was "a reason to put down for why you need an ultrasound"--which would normally be done at our next appt. anyway. I know average weight gain is about 5lbs in the first trimester; I was a healthy, on-target weight before baby an have been eating normally since the pregnancy began...I know doc said it's "nothing to worry about" but I can't help it!

How much have/had others of you gained up to about 15 weeks? I feel like I should go out and buy some doughnuts!!

Dont worry, I didnt gain any weight at my 15 week appt yet and then believe me, it packed on! Between my 15th week and my 24th week I gained 20lbs!! You will start gaining, enjoy it while you still havent, cause once you do you start feeling like a beached whale

My doctor told me that they would look at the overall pattern of weight gain, if I gained more one week and less another week it was fine as long as I had a steady pattern of gaining. I'm sure you're fine

I weighed 56kg at my first appt (I was 9 weeks then)
Since then I have not had any checkups (not am I due to as far as I know) and i havent put any weight on either.. (im now 13 weeks)
