It will probably catch up, I didn't gain a single pound until closer to 20 weeks.

I'm 18wks and have lost weight am about 5kgs lighter then before I got pregnant. But am also a larger lady. I don't think it matters to much as long as your eating healthy but if concerned maybe talk to your doctor.

I didn't start gaining weight till about 16-17 weeks.. don't worry you will. I started at 120 pounds and now at about 32 weeks I have gained about 23 pounds.
I remember around the same time as you wondering when I will gain weight, but I slowly did and now gain about 1/2 to 1.5 pounds a week..lol

I never gained weight with my daughter til I was 18 weeks and not til I was 20 weeks with my son, as long as you are eating and getting your prenatal and your doctor hasn't been worried about it, you and baby are probably fine :)

Its probably a question for your doctor - and may depend on how much you weighed pre-pregnancy. Your first trimester it is pretty common not to gain any weight. By your second trimester you should probably be gaining at least a little. Based on my weight my doctor advised me that it was ok not to gain weight - but most women need to gain at least a little. My guess is - however - if you are eating healthily and aren't hungry you are probably doing just fine!
