I am 24 weeks pregnant. I started out at a low body weight (I am 5' 1" and 102lbs). I just went in for my 24 week check up and did not gain anything, I have only gained 11 pounds total so far. Last month the gain was 7 lbs, but before that it was barely at all. With my first child, I gained about 40 and was healthy. This time I have major stomach issues that they can't diagnose or anything because i am pregnant. I tried to tell the doctor this and he was pretty much like as long as the baby is ok, we don't care about you. I am worried. I don't want to be sick when I have the baby or have labor problems. But this seems very wrong to me.

If you are feeling unsure or not satisfied with how your dr is treating the situation, you should probably get a second opinion to settle your nerves. Worrying about it, is probably going to make your stomach feel worse. Best of luck to you in this.

Hi Cindy! I'm 28 weeks prego and have only gained 12 lbs past my prepregnancy weight. I gained 1 lb by my 19 wk ultrasound and had lost 12 lbs previously in my first 4 or 5 months of pregnancy. The doctor is baiscally sayign that as long as the baby is growing, you're healthy and everything is okay. I was worried about not gaining enought either, especially since I only gained 1 lb by the time i had my ultrasound, but my little bean was and still is measuring just perfect and growing fine. Your body is going to react differently with each pregnancy...depending on what your diet, exercise, etc is like. Plus your metablism ciuld be working a lot faster this time too. Try not to worry too much.a slong as you are eating healthy and enpugh, you should be okay!

For being 24w and gaining 11lbs is ok. I am 17w 2d and I am still yet to gain, I am actually down 9 lbs. 178 before this pregnancy and am now 169. With my daughter I gained 40lbs as well. But for some reason I can't gain with this pregnancy. Its not morning sickness either, I feel fine in that department, maybe just once a week or so I feel sick. But nothing big. I wouldn't know about the stomach problems, but its never to late to change doctors. But my doctor keeps telling me I'm wrong for not gaining...but I can't. I keep on eating and nothing. But no he understands that I am far more active now then I was before I had my daughter. I don't mind not gaining, its just I feel bad because I'm losing when there is no morening sickness. But come the third trimester we will grow and gain. I know someone who only gained about 5lbs throughout pregnancy but she was a big heavy to begin with
