 So as of today, I am 20 weeks along. I have lost in total about 30lbs since becoming pregnant, has slowed right down this last month. I look on the scale now and I see that I am *up* 2lbs for the last couple weeks, then the u/s tech says the baby is over a pound and then there is water and blood weight etc. So..I probably haven't gained anything at all. When should I be gaining?? I can't eat enough food to do so, I eat all the time now just so I my sugars stay elevated basically. Or will this just be a slow progression with the weight gain? Just wanted to see about other people's experiences here :) Thanks in advance!

I am 23 weeks and have lost about 15lbs since becoming pregnant.  I am now holding steady on my weight.  My dr is not concerned at all.  When I had my ultra sound the other day, the baby was measuring exactly on.  I feel like I eat all the time also.  I still don't even really look like I am pregnant.  I am not sure if I will start gaining weight or if I will just stay the same.  I just take it one day at a time.

As long as your doctors aren't worried, I wouldn't stress about it. I gained 50 pounds and was told to only gain 25. But since everything looked good, the doctors weren't worried. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight at 12 weeks. My mom also had a zero gain pregnancy without surgery and no one was worried.

You may not gain at all. My first three pregnancies were all weight losses. This pregnancy has been no different and my OB and specialists all say its perfectly normal and acceptable as long as baby is growing at healthy rate :)

Hi

I'm abit behind you and I have not lost nor have I gained.I'm the exact same weight as I feel pregnant at. My last u/s showed us Bug is ahead by 2 days so I must be doing something right.
I get up atleast 3 times a night to drink my water and eat atleast once a night.


Best wishes
