I'm about 5'5 or 5'6 and am now 4months pregnant.
Ever since I got pregnant I can't get myself to eat as much as I woujld like to. However, before I was pregnant my weight was 120lbs. And it still is the same weight. The only thing that has changed on me is my belly getiing bigger. Is this normal? When will I begin to start putting on the weight?????????????

Ok just to give you an idea of how weight gain varies in women I can tell you that I weigh 114 lbs. As of my last visit to the doc. I am 31 weeks pregnant and my weight constantly goes up and down. I have never gone over 120 and I was 100-104 when I got pregnant. Thats not alot of weight gain and my baby is fine, she is actually big for her age! As long as you feel that you are getting enough to eat then you are fine.

Sometimes I dont even have a big appettite. For example, i'll be hungry and will start to eat but then git full really quick. I hate when that happenes because I know that I am hungry still. I just dont want to deprive the baby of anything. I'm really worried about this.

how does the Dr. Determine if your baby is big for her age? I thought if the baby was big they just figured you were futher along?

When I was four months preg, I lost weight due to vomitting so much, but if your not sick all the time, but I remember reading or my Dr. Telling me it feels like your full, but your not, you have a baby in there and sometimes it takes longer for things to work if you know what I mean, if you know your still hungry eat a little more, it won't hurt, and I don't care what anyone says healthy baby or not you are supposed to gain a certain amount of weight for your and the babys health.
