16 weeks pregnant and haven't gained even 1 pound

[Loveinsea]

I am 16 weeks today but haven't even gained a pound yet. I know a lot of women lost weight during first trimester due to morning sickness. I experienced a low-grade nausea constantly, but didn't lose much weight either. Now the nausea has become a lot better, I still don't have much interest in food. So I pretty much stayed at the same weight up until now. Should I be worried? Should I really try to eat a lot more?

PS: I am 170cm and 68kg (5'7 and 150lbs) , so not skinny to begin with.

Hi love I'm also 5' 7 and was 10st 1lb before pregnancy. I didnmt have ms - just nausea and also didn't gain a 1lb til around 16weeks (maybe I gained 1-2lbs around then but that's it). I worried and posted on here about it and was reassured.

I'm now 19+6 and have gained 7lbs. I had my 20wk scan today and baby measuring bang on.

I would say as long as you're eating healthy, don't eat more - it will come!

I am no expert but hope this helps!

I went to 40+13 and only gained 9lbs.

Don't worry about it - so long as the baby is growing appropriately, it doesn't really matter about your weight all that much.

I'm 2 weeks on from birth, and despite only gaining 9lbs, 7lbs 7 of which was baby, I've still got a random lot of extra jelly around my belly.
