Im already past 5 months but my weight has barely moved on the scale. I eat properly most days but it just isnt going up and now im worried if baby is growing fine. Anyone else had slow weight gain, is this normal na?
Early on many women dont gain or even lose a little, especially with morning sickness. What matters is the scan showing baby growing well. Mention it at your next visit and they'll check.
I barely gained in my first trimester because of nausea, I felt so worried. Once the sickness passed the weight came. If you're eating okay and baby is growing on scan, try not to stress.
Same here, I couldnt keep food down for weeks so weight just stayed flat. I focused on small frequent bites that I could tolerate. If yours is from sickness, talk to your doc, they can help with it.
Honestly with a busy schedule I also forgot to eat enough at first. Try keeping handy snacks like nuts, banana, curd around. But if you're genuinely not gaining at all by mid pregnancy, get it checked.
Weight gain isnt steady and trimester one is often low. As long as your gynac is happy with baby's growth and your reports, it usually isnt a problem. Bring it up so they can reassure you.
