weight gain by week 16

so, today i'm 16 weeks, and i still have not gained any weight. other than my boobs being a little bigger, my body is exactly the same as before i was pregnant. is this normal? everything i read is about gaining too much weight too soon, but nothing about not gaining enough weight. how much weight did you gain when you were 16 weeks?

Re: weight gain by week 16

I am 15 1/2 weeks and up 5 lbs

I would not worry about not gaining weight

Re: weight gain by week 16

17w5d no weight gain yet.

Re: weight gain by week 16

I think I was up 3 lbs at that point but everyone is different I wouldnt worry.

Re: weight gain by week 16

I will be 16 weeks tomorrow and have gained 8 or 9lbs.

Re: weight gain by week 16

I was down 4 at that point. Now at 28 weeks I am up about 8 from pp. They really don't care so long as the baby is measuring right. My doctor thinks it is good, and feels most women on LI gain too much during pg.

Re: weight gain by week 16

everyones def. different. at 16 weeks i was down 20lbs. then i started gaining like crazy!!!! i have now at 23 weeks almost gained back all those 20lbs! i better slow down!

Re: weight gain by week 16

I didn't gain any weight be week 16. And I didn't start showing until I was about 22 weeks. I am 35 weeks now and I've gained 15 lbs. It is not uncommon to not gain weight during the first trimester. Some women even lose weight. You'll probably notice that you will start gaining weight soon.

Everyone is different.

Re: weight gain by week 16

I am 17w2d and have gained about 6 pounds...

Re: weight gain by week 16

Re: weight gain by week 16

at 15-16 weeks, i was down 2 pounds. At 19-20 weeks, i was exactly my pre-pg weight. Next visit should be interesting.

Re: weight gain by week 16

I'm 19 weeks and still down 2 lbs. from pre-pregnancy. My dr. hasn't mentioned anything, so I'm not too worried.

Re: weight gain by week 16

I agree w/ everyone that everyone's weight gain will be different and from pregnancy to pregnancy it will be different.

At my 12w I gained total of 5lbs. Your OB should tell you what range is a healthy weight gain for you. Mine said 25-30lbs was good for me.

But my BF that just had a baby gained 72lbs total
And DH's mom told me she gained 90lbs w/ DH
