Hi,

I am about 4 and a half months pregnant. I have only gained less than 1 kg so far. My Gynae has assured me that this is fine and that my baby is growing well so there is nothing to worry about .But it still worries me a little as some pregnancy books and websites emphasize on the importance of weight gain. Is this normal and is it possible to gain weight in the coming weeks?

No worries! As long as your baby is growing well, there isn't a problem. And the weight gain WILL come! I didn't gain much in the first 4 months but once I hit my 5th month, I started gaining like crazy.

Eat well, don't diet, and everything will be fine.

Hi Flora,
Not to worry, me too, didn't gain much even at 21 weeks now. Still wearing my usual working pants (my colleagues also can't believe me). Now in the middle stage, too small for regular clothes, and yet too small for materity clothes.

Also not much appetite, hence not eating much for regular meals. But, once I feel like eating (usually junk food eg. chips, ice cream and root beer), I will just let go and enjoy it.

yup, same here.

there is no visible weight gain(ard 1 kg for 1st 4-5mth) due to morning sickness but my baby is growing well. then sudden weight gain started to head north from 5mth onwards -- m 23-week now and total weight gain is 5kg!

not to worry ... like others said, as long as doc assured you that bb is growng well...that will be ok le.

i am in my 35weeks of pregnancy already , my baby is 2.2kg now.. and in total i am onli gaining 1.9kg throughout the whole pregnancy... meaning.. my baby gain weight and i lose weight for about 300g.

So far my gynae didnt say anything wrong with my losing weight and he said baby is growing well and she is now in a very good position, easy to deliver.

hi yuki... my DS weight was 2.39kg when he was born, perfectly healthy! if they are growing well, weight does not matter cos they will put on after that.
