I am 21 weeks and have only gained about 4 and a half pounds. Is it okay to only gain that much?
My doctor actually says I am at the perfect weight which I find odd. I thought that you were supposed to have gained about 10 pounds by now?
How much weight you need to gain in pregnancy depends partly on your pre-pregnancy weight. But really, as long as your baby's growth is on track (which will be estimated based on the growth of your uterus, and any ultrasounds you've had) you don't need to worry too much. As long as you're eating well, your body will gain as much weight as it needs to to grow a healthy baby.
yes it is perfectly fine. With my second son I lost weight throughout the entire pregnancy and he was healthy.
