You are lucky

Some women dont until later on. Have you suffered from morning sickness?

Yep, totally normal. I finally reached my start weight around 23 weeks and then it started coming, at times 2 lbs a week. There's a big growth spurt between weeks 24 and 32. I put on a total of 10lbs by week 29.

I'm 19+3 and have put none on. I lost 11 lbs at the start despite not having sickness.

Last preg I didn't gain any at all so am hoping it will be the same this time.
Believe me, I eat enough!
I was worried and asked the Doc and she said it's fine.

I'm only 12 weeks and have already put on 8 lbs! My hubby is convinced it is twins

I'm 33 weeks and haven't gained any weight. The doctor said it's fine although I still worried about the baby and so had a private scan at 30 weeks. The baby measured up just fine.

This is my third pregnancy and with DS1 and DS2 I put on lots of weight which took me ages to lose afterwards. This time I've made a conscious effort to eat healthily during the pregnancy. I was about a stone overweight at the start of the pregnancy.

only a stone, try 3/4. after my first i put that on, lost around 1 and kept the other 3. i'm 15 now and was 15 1/2 before i fell preggers and have been ever since. baby seems to be fine but my friend who is 7 weeks ahead of me has put on around 1 1/2.

thanks for the reasurance though.
