21weeks pregnant and can't gain weight!?

Question

What am I doing wrong? My stomach is starting to grow. I eat when I get hungry a lot of people tell me I don't look like I'm 5 months pregnant. I feel my baby move all the time so it tells me that he's active (and healthy hopefully!)... i'm not so sure if it's my metabolism that is keeping me from gaining weight, but ANY insight or advice at all would help me so much!...

my fist doctors appointment (10 weeks) 110lbs

2nd doctors appointment 106lbs

3rd doctors appointment 112-113lbs.

4th is next week but i'm still at 112lbs.

Answer 1

Its normal I lost wieght in the 1st 3 months: I just turned 6 months pregnant and I dont look it, it doesnt depend on your wieght to look pregnant it has to do with your abdomen muscles and your body size, if you were skinny which you obviously are your  not going to show as fast. I dont know why. If the doctor is concerned about your weight she will tell you. Thats what happend t me and my baby is big and healthy!

Answer 2

unless your doctor is worried you shouldnt be worried, as long as you are eating and not starving yourself you should be fine, some people barely gain weight when they are pregnant some gain a ton, maybe you're eating more healthy now? are you exercising? this call all be factors, dont worry I am sure as you get further along you will gain...consider yourself lucky :)

Answer 3

I was also the same way when i was pregnant with my first son. I didn't gain any weight until my 5 month and i gained 7 lbs that month. At the end of my pregnancy i gained 28 lbs. You will be fine if you are eating right. Congrats and good luck!!!

Answer 4

u dont just lose 4 lbs while preg. unless u've had mornin sickness. u need to eat more than u already eatin

Answer 5

I went through the same thing with this pregnancy . As long as you are eating  well balanced meals and your baby is growing - you are ok .

Plus as long as your Dr. is not concerned I would not worry too much. I will tell you with my pregnancy I did not start gaining until I was in my 7th month - I'm going into 38 weeks and have only gained 18lbs ( I lost a lb from last week which is normal at the end ) . I'm small as well .

Don't stress the weight will come on :)

Good luck to you and your pregnancy :)
