I've only gained like 2 lbs at 4 months pregnant. Should I be happy about this or worried?

My first pregnancy I ended up weighing 142. I started out at 108. That being said, I don't think I gained much until 25 weeks or later. I didn't start showing until 25 weeks either though.

@zoeysmomma2016, I'm on track to gaining about the same... not that I chose to, if only I hadn't eaten so many Oreos, and ice cream in the beginning. 🙈😂😂 I'm sure you'll be on track with weight gain with your second little one! 😊

@nomli see, I haven't had any morning sickness with either of my pregnancies (hallelujah). But I'll talk more about it with my OB and see what he says.

@malainaheka23 I gained 42lbs with my first. I want to gain no more than 25 with this one. Lol but I want to make sure I'm still gaining weight appropriately.

@zoeysmomma2016, lol then you should be okay! ☺️ I gained a lot of weight in my first trimester and beginning of second only because my sweet cravings had enhanced times a thousand. 🤦🏻‍♀️😭 as a first time mom, I was an idiot and didn't realize that gaining weight was part of pregnancy so I didn't really think about it in the beginning. 😅

Ah, yeah, I had been throwing up until 14 weeks or so, and never wanted to eat because of the nausea. Hm. It may just be the way your body handles the food this pregnancy....my cousin put on so little weight throughout her pregnancy that she was sent to check on the size of her baby, and she proceeded to give birth to a 7lb girl a few weeks later.

@malainaheka23 I haven't done anything to lose weight. I have maintained the same diet as before other than the forbidden foods. And the only exercise I get is from work and chasing my one year old around.

@nomli my appetite is wonderful though. I eat no different than I always have. Some days I may even eat "too well" if you know what I mean. That's why I dont really understand why I have only gained the 2 lbs.

As long as you're eating healthy and doing anything to lose weight on purpose it should be okay! That was the first thing my midwife told me when I asked her about. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well, I lost over ten pounds in the first 12 weeks, and by four months my appetite was just starting to come back, and I hadn't really put anything on yet.

Yea through out my pregnancy I've lost weight but the doctor wasn't worried about it because I would lose it and gain it back

@skysmommy04 thank you. I'll talk to my OB at my next appointment.

@malainaheka23 I'll be 4 months on Monday, So I rounded up... and I don't want to gain a bunch of weight this time around but I also want to make sure I'm gaining enough.

I’m almost 9 months and I’ve only gained 4 you’re fine unless they say otherwise

You're only 3 1/2 months. 🙈 lucky you! 😅 I gained like 7-10 pounds a week in the beginning. 😭
