I'm not putting on weight!

[sryan]

Hi,

I am 15 weeks and only put on a kilo. As long as you are eating well and drinking lots of water, all should be OK.

Same as tiggerlinda, I put on more doing IVF and Clomid......

Though my GP said that since I have hormone issues, I will probably find that I won't put on much weight, as my body goes back to normal levels when pregnant....

Though make sure you mention it to your Ob.

I put on 4kgs last pregnancy.... DS weighed over 4kgs. LOL
I am bigger though, and my appetite went down, so I wasn't eating and I was sick everyday until after giving birth. I don't think it's a huge issue, as long as everything else is going well, that you are eating well, and that you feel fine.
You should consider yourself Lucky... I have heard of some people who gain a Tonne during pregnancy.

thanks ladies as usual good to know i'm 'normal'

i had a gf who put 30kg on during whole 1st preg. but think it might have had to do with her maccas obsession.

also a lot of the people at work keep looking at my belly (and asking again how far along i am) - makes me think they think i'm having a phantom pregnancy

HELLO: i can't fake these hormonal outbursts

It's rather concerning when you read all these books that tell you how your pregnancy should be. Each pregnancy and woman is different so i cant see how a book can tell you what should happen, you know? I put on 30kgs in first pregnancy, 10kgs in second. This time however i'm 28 weeks and in first tri i lost 5-6kgs and i still havent gained any back so if probably lost more than that. I can see i have lost weight in my face, arms and bum but i know bub is fine cause i have a huge belly!

As long as u are eating healthy, i wouldnt worry too much about it - i only put on 5.6kgs with my pregnancy and my OB was not at all worried.
Enjoy it while it last - cause who knows in the last trimester u may put on HEAPS!!!!

I am like briggsy's girl I have lost 10 kilos this time, my GP isn't concerned either. I had mad m/s in the 1st tri and still have no appetite so I just make sure I eat lots of fruit and vegies rather than junk food.

Last time around I lost about 6 kilos and then put on about 8 in the last few weeks.

I am 15 weeks now () and have put on less than a kilo since I POAS. My Dr and Obs are not concerned at all.
