I am 35 weeks pregnant and have only gained 16 lb. Should I be worried?

Question

This is my second pregnancy and have gained 16 lbs. I am 5'2 and weighted 140 before i became pregnant. My doctor has not said anything about my weight . Just have not gained any weight in the passed 2 months and have not had a huge appetite, like I did my first time around.

Answer 1

i am an overweight person. When i had my second bby i gain only a total of 16 pounds thru out the whole pregnancy. My doctor didnt say anything or neither did the nurse, but she was suprise that i maintain that weight she thought i would gain a whole lot more. my bby girl was 7.6 n 19in btw smaller then the first one 7.15.n 18 1/2in and she is doing super fine and more active then the first one too.

Answer 2

I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and I have only gained 16 pounds. I am a little worried because my daughter was a 10 1/2 pound baby when she was born and I gained 31 pounds and I am concerned that this little girl will be underweight. I have had no real cravings during my entire pregnancy. I weighed 150 pounds prepregnancy and I am 5ft 5.
