Anyone else not gaining weight?

Newtothis · Aug 24th, 2009, 16:20 PM

Hi all,

I'm 17+3 today and go to aquanatal on a Monday evening. There is a scale at the gym but for the last three weeks in a row it just keeps saying 10 st, 10.1 st, 10 st. I have weighed 10 st for years now! The last m/w appointment a few weeks ago - I brought it up and she said it was okay not to gain any weight in the 1st trimester - but I'm now well into the second and still not seeing weight gain.

I'm not dieting, eating fairly well, and although I look much bigger, I think it must just be my abdominal muscles going to mush. Any thoughts, ideas? I'm tempted to call the m/w but I'm afraid she'll just dismiss it like last time.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I haven't gained any weight at all yet. I have a noticeable bump, but think I have lost weight in First Tri. I would go with it, cos I reckon we'll pile it on in Tri 3

Hi

I was like you, but I think that has changed the past week... I was hovering around 9st11, 9st12 and now just seem to have shot up to 10st1. I have been more hungry the past week and "grazing more". My diet is mostly balanced and I am still very active (gym 4 times a week and prenatal yoga once a week).

To be honest - but I am not a doctor or MW - I don't think it is a problem... EVERYONE puts on weight at different rates and I think that our bodies will regulate ourselves (providing we are sensible).

If you are eating sensibly and keeping (sensibly) active/mobile then that is THE most important thing. We don't HAVE to put on weight by a certain time... we all will eventually (that is unavoidable), but it will happen when your body is ready.

I don't know your crazy stone speak

, but I have approximately gone from 61 to 64kg, a gain of about 6-7 lbs. Not very much, really. I'm pretty sure it'll start picking up before long, though...

Yes, dont worry, as long as you are eating well and feel ok thats good!!

I think at 17wks I may have only put on 1 or 2 lbs, but now at 19+wks am about 6lbs up - but bump has just really started to appear over the last 2 wks!!

Totally the same, on all counts, including the bump really appearing just recently... Of course we are due the same day.

Me neither. I've not gained any weight despite looking a little more pregnant. I'm sure I'll be making up for it soon!

i had lost weight in 1st tri and its only in the last 2-3 weeks i have started putting weight on, quite rapidly actually! Although, weirdly enough i have noticed that from one day to the next i can be anything from 3-5 whole pounds heavier/lighter! on sunday i was just over 10stone, yesterday just under 10 stone & today 10 stone 4 and a quarter hehe!! we have 2 sets of scales, digital ones and normal ones and they both read the same so i'm not imagining things! i wouldn't worry, we are all different and so long as u feel healthy n well theres plenty time to gain weight yet! xx
