21 weeks and no weight gain... normal?

Hello - I am now 21 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy (apologies I don't know all the abbreviations, first time on pregnancy forum)... I've not put any weight on at all, but I do have a normal sized bump and baby is 14oz and growing well (had 20 week scan yesterday).

Is it normal not to put weight on? I don't recall what weight I put on with my other 2 pregnancies as they were 20 and 17 years ago.

Thanks,
AnneeApple

Annee, I am 37 weeks and am only about 3lbs heavier than when I got pregnant, although I lost weight in my first trimester. I only put the weight back on after 30 weeks too, I think, although I've not weighed myself much. My midwives told me not to worry at all, particularly as I'm overweight, and that the baby's size was the important thing. So I think you should relax!
