I debated asking this because I kind of feel like an asshole even posting it but has anyone else struggled to gain weight? I weighed myself yesterday and I actually lost weight from the last time I weighed myself 3 weeks ago (not much but like 0.7 kg). I wasn’t underweight to start off but skinny (size 2/XS). My midwife never, ever weighs me and hasn’t commented on it. Baby is growing. I eat a lot of food. I’m just very active so maybe I don’t eat enough to keep up with my level of activity but I doubt it? I feel like I’m always eating. I’ll ask her at the next appointment but it’s not until June 3.
Should I be worried about not gaining more weight? I’ve gained a total of 0.8 kgs technically since being pregnant. Not sure how though! This belly is growing (I feel so big now) and he is too! Last check he was 720g. I’m sure it’ll catch up and I’ll gain more weight now as he grows through the end of 2nd tri and 3rd tri?
I’m losing weight. I dealt with a kidney stone around 7 weeks and lost about 10 pounds and since then I’m down about 5 more at my 15 week appt this week. This happened to me with my previous pregnancy as well. My doc said as long as I’m eating she’s not worried. I just have a decreased appetite. I’m still eating but it’s smaller portions and more frequently and I guess it just doesn’t add up to as much.
If the doc isn’t worried and baby is growing you are fine. I rarely mention it to anyone either because no one wants to hear about the girl who left the hospital weighing less than when she got pregnant.
