As long as the baby is growing you should be fine. :) the dr will let you know if he/she thinks that there is a problem with the baby's growht. But yes that should be fine if your dr hasn't said anything to you.

I went a month and actually lost weight. :)

In the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't gain any weight! I was puking so much. I gained about 40 lbs, I was 138 lbs when I had kylie, and im back to 100, I hate being skinny..Seriously.

Ive never weighed that less. Well when I was like 10,11 or something I weighed 100 lbs sometime, but not ever anytime after being 13. How come I look small, but I dont weigh so small? Thats what I dont get. Cause my friends would weigh the same as me, but there all bigger.

If it makes you feel any better I have only gained 5 pounds total. I think your baby will be just fine. I have also read something that the baby will gain weight no matter what and if you aren't eating correctly then it will just take what it needs from your body.

don't worry about it hun. Im 28 weeks along, and I haven't gained any weight. My doctor had to prescribe me ensure to last about 6 months. He said as long as the baby's growth is normal, then don't worry, but it can also be unhealthy for the mother if she isn't eating right...

Ever since I was like 14 I weighed 120 lbs except right before my period when i'd go up to like 122. Now i'm 24 weeks and i'm up to 141 lbs and I feel like a whale. Part of it was when I bruised my knee and had to wear a immobilzer splint for 10 days so all I did was lay around being lazy and I put on 3 lbs in a week! Ugh!!
