30 weeks No weight gain
posted 3rd Dec
Ok I now you don't want to hear about me complaining about gaining no weight but I'm worried. My doctor scheduled a growth scan next week to make sure the baby is growing but she is worried. Has anyone faced a similar situation? Did you end up gaining a good amount of weight? She wants me to gain at least 15 lbs before 40 weeks. Im having a boy by the way if it matters.

Granted I was 50lbs overweight while I was pregnant with my last baby I only gained 2lbs the whole pregnancy. Both OBs I had(I moved in the middle of the pregnancy) never showed any concern whatsoever about it and I had a perfectly healthy baby.

ya i think it depends on your weight before you became pregnant. if you were overweight or had bad eating habits that you changed. .you may have actually "lost" weight without noticing bc it is offset by baby weight. i know in my first trimester i lost weight, not bc of morning sickness, bc i dindt have any.. but bc i quit drinking energy drinks and eating fast food... but once i got past that "danger" time frame.. i picked up my bad eating habits, but not energy drinks, and at 37 weeks ive only gained 18-20 depending on bm regularity tmi

I am 36 weeks tomorrow and have only gained a 25 throughout the whole pregnancy. I also have a growth scan on Friday because my uterus is measuring 3 weeks behind.
I would wait until the scan to worry, mama!

With my first, I has severe morning sickness and lost a total of 15lbs. My son was born 7lbs, 13oz. My doc said that the baby would get everything he needed from me. The weight loss would be worse on me than my son. With this pregnancy, I've only gained a total of 10lbs. Doc thinks we're having another 7 pounder Hope everything goes great with your growth scan mama! Good luck.

My baby was 6lbs 12oz, which was normal(exactly the same size as my first) since I am so tiny and my DH isn't very tall either.

i lost 40 pounds by my 2nd trimester... and only have gained 20 of it back leaving me still a negative 20 pounds gaining zero weight... but the drs I see dont seem concerned and they say the babys heart is healthy and he feels big to them and im measuring normal... I was told it's not about the weight you gain in pregnancy it's about how you measure and how the baby is gaining...

I'm only 14 weeks and worry because I haven't gained weight yet. As long as your eating enough you should be ok right?

I am a bigger girl but I am almost 30 weeks and 25 pounds less then my first doctors visit but my doctor is not worried about it cause my stomach measures fine.

Same here! I'll be 31 weeks on Wednesday and I still haven't gotten back to my pre-pregnancy weight. The baby is measuring fine, so my doctor hasn't mentioned it as a concern. I know that I'm eating my 4-6 meals a day, drinking my water, taking vitamins and iron pills, so I'm not worried.
