I’m 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I have gained no weight. Should I be worried? I’m 5’6 and just under 10 stones so have a healthy BMI. What was your weight gain at this point?

Apart from the weight of the actual baby, I gained very little in pregnancy. By that point I was about 3-4 lbs heavier than usual and that was with twins. After about 24 weeks I gained remaining weight quite rapidly.
I'm sure you're okay, but if you're worried then you should check with professionals really.

I was 9st 4 before pregnancy, dropped to 9st, then back up to my pre-pregnancy weight at 20 weeks. Up to 10st 8 at 40 weeks.

I’ve gained 6lb, I didn’t gain any until about 13 weeks and am now 17. I’m feeling the need to cut back on the biscuits as I think that’s the culprit for the bulk of it. I’m same height and started at 9 stones 13lb.

18 weeks and 3lbs on so far here... got to rein in my mindless eating soon though as I gained so much weight from about 26 weeks last time.

No don't worry. I had HG and lost weight until about 20w when it eased. Midwife wasn't even a bit concerned. I ballooned in the 3rd trimester though so watch out! Also my friend gained no weight at all and once she had her baby actually lost weight from pre-pregnancy - her baby is happy and healthy and so is she! Try to relax. And congratulations!
