I had a doctors appt. Last tuesday and
when the nurse weighed me I found that
i've only gained 1 pound so far. I'm 11
weeks today, I mean i'm almost 3 months
and i've only gained a pound?? I thought
I had gained more then that because some
of my clothes don't fit anymore. My first
visit was when I was 6 weeks and I know
that I hadn't gained any weight before
then. I keep telling myself the doctor
would have said something if I should have
gained more (or at least I hope he would
have my doc isn't very informative) and he
said that all my blood tests and stuff
were good but i'm just worried that its
not healthy for the baby to have gained so
little.

How much did you weight starting out?
I know that people who are over weight
should only gain 5-15 pounds.
The baby is the size of a lime right now
(2 inches)
do not worry. It is such a misconception
that you should gain a lot of weight
during pregnancy.

I lost weight the begining of my pregnancy
and it wasn't untill around 12 weeks that
I started to put that weight back on. I
think by 18 weeks I had gained 5 pounds.
Everyones different. Just make sure your
eating good!

skinny a$$. Lol.
I'm jealous of her cause her son is like 1
1/2months and she has her figure back.
Poop on u jenna!!! Lololol
i lost about 10 lbs at the beginging of my
pregnancy from being so sick all the time,
I ended up gaining almost 50lbs by the end
of my pregnancy. Al in my belly thank
god. I have lost most of it now but have
to start doing crunches or something.
Haha I had a 8lb,6oz boy and also had 2
amniotic sacs so that was a big part of my
weight gain. Don;t worry, it's fine,
you're right at the begining. You'll
start gaining soon.

I knew I was just over reacting, guess i'm
just paranoid. And I know that once I do
start gaining weight i'll complain about
that too. :lol: but thanks for all the
replies and reassurance. :)

Don't worry about it- as long as you are
getting all your nutritional requirements,
evrythying will be fine- alot of women
actually loose weight in the first three
months, from having morning sickness, and
no appitite, or not being able to keep
anything down.
The baby takes what it needs from you, and
you get the left overs !!!!!
Actually-come to think of it children
continue to do that for their whole lives
