Q: 2nd baby- 22 weeks, not gaining weight

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has found weight gain entirely different than the first pregnancy? I am in the healthy weight (pre-pregnancy) range (at the lower end) and have gained nothing yet! bump is growing and baby measuring right on for dates.
I feel like I am eating enough and drinking plenty, just seems that I can't gain anything??

Also, Have you been really sick? I'm 17 weeks and LOST 20 lbs and have only gained back 7 because of vomitting so much. And you also are running after another kid so you're prob more active this time. I really wouldn't worry about it too much it sounds like you're doing everything right and are just lucky!!! Enjoy the bump!

At my 18 week visit I had only gained 2 lbs. Then for weeks later I had gained plenty more....although I think some of it was water retention...if the doc isn't upset or worried, just keep doing what you're doing. Eat well, drink lots and enjoy the baby bump!!

don't worry! my first pg, i gained 36 lbs. my second, i lost and gained and evened out. my third, i lost 40 lbs. (i am overweight, but it was nothing to worry about, baby was gowing fine and i was getting a huge stomach!). this pg so far i have lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks, but i am 14 weeks pg. as long as dr isn't worried, try to relax.

This does happen. Some women gain up 10-15 lbs their whole pregnancy. Until your dr says otherwise, i dont think you have anything to worry about.
