I'm still sitting at a 9.5 lb weight loss. My m/s went away a week and a half ago and I avoided the scale for several days because I've been eating so much and in fear that I'd put on 5 lbs in a week and went I hopped on yesterday I was SHOCKED to see that I still haven't put any weight on. My belly is really quite huge these days and my boobies look like they are ready to explode. If you were to count the extra weight from baby, placenta, boobies, etc I'm probably at a net loss of 15 lbs or something like that. I'm 21 weeks today and although I personally don't want to gain weight, I know that at some point I'm going to need to and I'm just checking in to see if anyone else is where I am or if they are at all worried about it. My next appt isn't until a week from Friday and at my last appt I saw the NP not the doctor so it's been nearly 2 months since I've seen my OB and want to be prepared for her being angry or not angry....

so short question: Anyone else not gaining weight or still sitting on a negative number? How many weeks along are you? And is your doctor concerned?

I am still down 4 lbs but I was overweight going into the pregnancy so it's not a big deal. Dr. says she isn't concerned since baby is measuring on track. I'm not sure why I have lost and not gained since I haven't actually vomited during this pregnancy (except the one time while I had the stomach virus). I guess it must be because I have eaten less due to nausea up until a few weeks ago. Oh, and I am almost 19 weeks along.

Well I am 19w and started off really heavy and lost 46lb and I have gained 10lb of that back and for the past 4-5 weeks I have stayed the same weight at -36lb from pre-preg, My Dr's aren't worried because this is normal for me durring pregnancy, I delivered Magi 42lb lighter than pre-preg and delivered Xander 32lb lighter than pre-preg so I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't gain back all of the weight I lost in the first 3 months.

I am 19 wks and have only lost weight since my pregnancy. I was pretty average weight before and was concerned about the weight loss ( 15-17lbs total ) but my dr. says I am doing fine that everything looks good! So I havent been to concerned. I am barely showing at all though...no one can tell I am pregnant...
I really want a nice cute belly!! but I am sure it will come soon enough! :p

lurking from due in march....

as of my appt yesterday I am still down 7lbs from my starting weight. my baby weighs 4lbs even per the u/s yesterday..... so I have a least a net loss of 15lbs of *me*.

my doc said that my weight is fine..... so I'm not worried. I'm thrilled that I should leave the hospital weighing less than I started at!

Well, nope here. i'm fat fat fat

There is a rather wide range of acceptable weight gains and losses. As long as you aren't continuing to lose weight or gain 10 lbs a month, I'd say it is mostly normal.

my CNM is going to give me a hard time tomorrow about my weight GAIN. I have no idea where the weight is going. Other than my butt....

Nope. I have gained at least 16 pounds. I started out about 15 less than previous pregnancies though...I was 136-138 this time and the first three times I was at 150 to start. So right now I go back and forth between 155-156. Well- I guess that is 18-20 pounds gained ...oops. Kind of wish I hadn't gained so fast! I was worried because I am just 21 weeks and normally I gain 30-35 pounds- so there wasn't a lot of room to move. And the sad part is that I am still exercising.

I wish the nausea and puking had made me not want to eat! Lol

if the baby is growing- you are probably ok. Just keep eating! And maybe the scales at the Dr will be different and say that you gained!

The day you deliver, outside will be warm. Your baby will arrive in the evening.After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and dark hair.
