Not gaining weight?

brownhairedmom · Jul 26th, 2008, 17:18 PM

Okay I know, I know, I shouldn't be complaining. I haven't gained any weight in 5 weeks. I've only gained between 5-8lbs depending on when I weigh myself. Dr said I should be averaging 1- 1/2 lbs a week but yeah...not happening? I'm not complaining because Lord knows I'm okay with not having to lose it all in the end, but I'm concerned. Anyone else out there who hasn't/hadn't gained the recommended weight?

I´ve only gained 5 kilos from the start to now. My midwife kept asking me if I was sure I was eating at the beginning but she´s stopped that now!! Thing is, it´s too hot to eat too much here, I AM eating but little & often. Not a lot I can do about it now tho!! I suppose it´s less to lose after.

I have only gained 6 lbs and my doc didn't seem concerned. She suspected that I will have gained 10 by 20 weeks. Some women put it all on at the very end too...I wouldn't worry. Just eat healthy and when you are hungry

Well rae... My huge weigh jump happened like within days... at about 25 weeks... LOL!

Enjoy the no weight gain while you can though cause it sure took me by surprise.

I haven't gained any weight. My stomach has popped but everything else has gotten smaller. My doctor isn't concerned at all. I do have a growth scan booked just to be sure she is growing enough but all my measurements have been right on.

I lost near on 2 and a half stone and have just this last 2 weeks started putting any back on. I had a bad time with morning sickness, I think I'll make up for it all and more tbh =(

When do you next see ur health visitor / Doctor hun? Maybe ask them?
