14 wks and no weight gain at all - is this ok?

[Scheriously]

I'm 14 weeks and have not gained one pound and I'm starting to worry. I'm not small - I'm 10 stone 11 and classed as overweight for my height.

I have been suffering from HG, but this has really calmed down and regardless of how bad it got, I kept eating and eating because I was so hungry between throwing up. Especially over the last week, I've really gone for it.

Is this ok not to have gained anything?

My other preg friends are gaining around 1 - 2 pounds a week. Ugh something else to worry about.

Its fine. First trimester weight gain should only be a few pounds anyway but if you have had any sort of sickness then it would have evened put. Don't worry, your baby is getting everything it needs and trust me, you'll be glad you didn't gain anything to start with once it starts piling on!

I didn't gain until about 22wks but by the time i gave birth i was 2.5 stone heavier! Although 1.5 stone of that was gone within a few days after the birth.

yes. lots of people don't gain in the first trimester (many lose weight with hg) and if you're already overweight then you should put on less weight overall than someone who isn't overweight. don't worry - just eat when you're hungry and drink plenty of water. your body knows what to do!

yes dont worry, im 33 weeks & have only gained 3lbs but was overweight before i fell pregnant, had really bad sickness & GD. No one seems concerned & baby is still kicking about quite happily

When I got to 12 weeks I hadn't put on any weight but nobody was concerned, don't forget baby is still really tiny!!

I'm now 23 weeks and have put on about 8lbs in total. Your baby will be fine, do not worry

I'm 17 weeks, and have lost 2lb! I have eaten so much rubbish, but have also been sick at least every other day.
Spoke to the midwife about it on Friday at my checkup, she said she wasn't worried at all, we'll soon start piling it on! (Oh joy)

I lost close to a stone in first trimester with HG...now 30 weeks and up 10kgs from pre-pregnancy weight. Worry not.

I lost loads in the first trimester. Soon made up for it though.

It's fine.. don't worry about your baby..pregnancies essentially behave like parasites and will take what they need regardless.

I lost half a stone in my first trimester, lots of people do even without HG. You stop going to the pub after work, get paranoid about eating junk food etc etc.
A mate of mine loses tons of weight while pregnant. Quite chubby usually but really slims down while preggers due to HG and generally eating better once it has worn off. T'was very tricky for everyone trying not to compliment her toooo much on how well she looked.
By 20 weeks you'll start to see a few pounds. For now, just be thankful and continue to look after yourself.

Thanks everyone, that's reassuring. As you say, I'll probs be packing it on in no time

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I lost weight with my pregnancies and ended up 2 stone lighter than I was before I was pg. I just mentioned it to my mw who kept track of my weight and she was happy that I wasn't falling below an ideal weight and that was it.

Hi Op I am a size 8/10 and I had not gained any weight at all by 14 weeks. I am 34+5 and I have only gained about 14 lbs. I wouldn't worry. Everyone is different.

Don't worry, I lost weight in the first trimester, only put it back on after 18 weeks. Am now 30 weeks and all fine, and it's nice not being too large.

In this pregnancy I only started to gain weight around week 15. Prior to that I actually lost 1-2lbs and I had zero morning sickness.
