Weight Gain

[Smile03]

Hey,

I’m slightly concerned i’ve not gained any weight yet brought it up with my midwife who didn’t seem concerned at all!

I was overweight to begin with as I am 5ft 1 and I’m eating completely normal but no bump and no weight gain has made me feel like i’m failing at being pregnant!

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Pre-pregnancy I was 75KG
Booking appointment 67KG
Now at 25 weeks and 64KG

Hi, I’ve had very slow weight gain too despite having quite a bump!

I’m 22 weeks and have gained 2kg overall and that’s probably only happened in the last month. I’m 5ft10 and was 61kg to start with, now 63kg, so closer to the underweight end of healthy.

20 week scan showed that baby was growing fine and was where they should be.

I think everyone’s body works differently and so long as baby is growing okay there’s no need to worry.

If you had quite a lot of excess fat to begin with you will be fine so long as you are eating lots of highly nutritious foods.

Adding in something simple like a large chicken breast (or something of similar nutritional values) is enough if you think you are having too little.
