Still no weight gain?!

[Andersonx3]

I'm 18+2 and I'm still below my starting weight by 2kg. I'm well through the morning sickness and did put on 2kg between weeks 4-9, but now I've lost 4kg and cant seem to gain anything. At this point is this a problem? I don't exercise much (I have arthritis which this pregnancy is worsening) and I eat plenty. I was overweight to start with, UK size 14, but I thought if anything this would mean I would gain more and quicker?

Just a little advice would be nice! Thanks!

Don't think it's a problem but double check with your midwife for sure.
I've only gained 4 pounds, baby is currently 6.7lbs so I think my weight is just 'baby weight' 🤞🏼

Agreed I don't think it's a problem either. My experience has been the heavier I've been the less I've gained.

Dd1 I was about 11st/bmi 25ish. Gained 4.5stone

Dd2 13st7lb/bmi about 30. Gained 14lb and was lighter when she was born than when I started.
Dd3 13st again gained 14lb, she was 9lb10 so again ended up lighter after birth.

Currently 35wks pregnant and started very overweight/obese bmi34. I've gained 7lb in total so far.

I've been reasonably sensible with 2-4, not eating for 2 etc but I've definitely not dieted. I gain weight very easily when not pregnant so I don't know why!
