I'm 18 weeks today! & I weighed myself today & I've only gained 4lbs...
@ My last appointment ; they told me I lost 11lbs but they weren't worried. Apparently, it's normal to lose in the beginning...But I've only gained 4lbs & I'm 18weeks ; I feel like I should be gaining more then that...

With this pregnancy I didn't start gaining until 20 weeks. I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and I have gained 23 lbs so you will gain what's right for your body and your baby in the end. Just eat healthy and take your prenatals.

to loose weight is normal. women tend to eat better when they are pregnant and not even really notice the change. dont sweat. if youre dr isnt worried, then you shouldnt be worried either.

According to my doc, at my 28wks appt I had gained a total of 17 pounds, 6 in like 4 weeks since my 24wks checkup. But I also see an endocriniologist once a week as well, and last week I was down six pounds for a grand total of 222. So if I go by that I'm only 12 pounds total weight gain at almost 30wks. If your doc isn't worried I wouldn't be worried.

Its ok as long as the baby is growing.

Good for you!!
I gained like 100 pounds in total with my daughter.... lmao I ate like pig! She was born at 8 months weighing 7pounds and 11ozs!
If I am pregnant now, I'm going to take better care of myself I think!!

Hopefully I get my ultra sound soon so I can make sure my baby is alright.
I haven't even had one yet =( Because my doctor's dumb...
So I hope everything is normal ; Because I haven't seen my baby I've done NOTHING but worry about every little thing.

my weight was somewhat like that at the beginning. I was 98 lbs before i got pregnant and then i'd gain a bit, then lose it alluntil my 2nd trimester. I've gained 35+ lbs and now they're worried i'm gaining too much weight but they really weren't worried in the beginning with me either, i just shot up and gained 11 lbs in a month and then another 8 in the next...if the doctors aren't worried about it then you should be fine for now. they go by your size to determine how much you gain. but good luck...

I don't know how I've only gained 4lbs! ha-ha..I couldn't really eat because I got full so quick as soon as I hit my 2nd trimester..then 17weeks I started eating like a pig & hungry every like 30minutes...I'm real surprised I'm not an obese whale yet lol.

i think its normal to loose weight while you are carring another one. not all people gain weights if they are pregnant.. heh..

I've gained 22lbs this whole time and I'm just about 35 weeks. I didn't start gaining until after the 20th week...and last month I didn't gain any, everyone gains it different, it also depends on your body type on how much you should gain...since I'm a larger person I should only gain 15 to 25 lbs...smaller people usually gain more...so it just all depends on your body and I as far as the eating thing....I ate so much towards the beginning compaired to what i can eat now...I have to get one of those small sandwiches from subway(like the kids ones) and that is still to much...but 20 minutes later i'm hungry again...it sucks
