I'm in my second trimester, and I'm worried because my weight isn't increasing as much as I expected. My doctor says the baby is fine, but I'm still concerned. Why might my weight not be increasing during pregnancy?
Don't worry, but do mention this to your doctor during your next visit. In my hospital, the nutritionists tracked my weight closely and told me every body reacts differently. As long as your scans show the baby is growing fine, it's usually okay.
Oh, I totally feel you, I actually lost weight in my first trimester due to severe morning sickness! Don't stress, once the vomiting stops in the second trimester, your appetite will return. Just eat whatever you can digest for now.
Relax, weight gain isn't a race. In the first trimester, many women don't gain any weight or even lose some due to nausea. As long as your gynac says baby's growth is on track, you are perfectly fine.
I understand how every little thing can make you feel so anxious. Weight gain can be slow in the beginning, but for your peace of mind, please discuss this with your gynac. Sending you prayers for a healthy pregnancy.
I've been reading up on pregnancy lately and honestly, I heard many women don't gain weight until the second trimester. It seems quite normal, but maybe check with your doc just to be sure?
In early pregnancy, my MIL was very worried because I was not gaining weight. But my doctor assured me it is quite common, especially if you have nausea. Trust your doctor's weight checks during your scans, they know best.
