Weight Gain

[Gabi]

When did you start to gain weight in your pregnancy? I am almost 16 weeks and I haven't gained at all...should I alter my diet or wait and see?

I should probably add that I'm 165cm tall and weigh 54 kg.

You may not gain a lot of weight at all through your pg. You may slowly start to put it on from here on in though. The amount of weight a woman can gain during her pg varies hugely from woman to woman, there is no right or wrong amount to put on. I would just wait and see, don't change your diet unless your caregiver thinks you should.

With my first i weighed the same as u do now(also i'm about the same height) & i was pretty fit too & i really didn't put on any weight until quite later in the pregnancy.I was over 5 months pregnant & i could still wear my normal jeans & a crop top & no-one knew i was pregnant.
Different story now thoughI'm pregnant with my 4th ,i'm 3 months & u can definitely see i'm pregnant,funnily enough though i've actually lost nearly 5 kgs.I think with all the nausea & not being able to tolerate certain foods,i 've been eating smaller meals,also i'm not eating chocolate so i'm sure that's helping
Check with ur doc if u r worried but personally i think ur fine.
