Eating loads,but not putting on much weight and I'm getting worried.

[GiveMeVegemite]

I'm 21 weeks and have only put on just under 2 kilos (around 4 pounds).
I eat completely normally, cereal and toast for breakfast,sandwich or soup for lunch and meat and veges for dinner.

I was hovering around 25 on BMI as I got pregnant again when my son was only 5 months, so hadn't lost my baby weight completely.

I am trying not to be a complete pig as I put in about 4 stone last time,but I feel as though I should have put in more. I have my 20 week scan tomorrow so guess I will find out if the baby is growing ok then, but would just like some reassurance :(

sounds very similar to me
I'm 21+5 and have put on 6lbs. I also had a bmi of 24 before pg so not overweight but not skinny. my baby is measuring bang on for size and weight so far so I'm not worried, it will probably all pile on at some point! sounds like you're eating a good diet so don't worry I'm sure everything is fine!

I don't think I started putting on weight until after 20weeks. You don't have to actually try to put on weight you know Just eat normally and let your body do the rest.

Thanks for your replies, that makes me feel better. I do eat a really healthy and balanced diet so hopefully nothing to worry about...

I only put on 9 lbs in my whole pregnancy as I became a bit obsessed with eating healthy. It made no difference to the health or weight of Ds. I'm not going to mention the stone and a half I then piled on during mat leave

All went well with the scan. Baby growing slightly above my dates so very happy :)

30wks and put on 10ibs and I never stop eating admittedly I look like I've put on much more so was shocked when I got on scales last week, I didn't start gaining till around 20wks my booking bmi was 20, with ds2 I only put on 4ib at term cause of nausea and he was absolutely fine and 9ib. Ds1 however I put on 4st lol. I wouldn't worry each pregnamcy is dif xx

Glad it was good news
