Low weight gain

I entered my weight gain for week 30 and it stated that I'm low. Almost 10 lbs. Dr says that it's fine, has anyone else had this issue?

I am 20 weeks and have only gained 6lbs. I had lost 10-12 from being sick to start with. Dr. is fine with it and says gaining some is fine. Either way they don't like you to gain to much. Plus think of it as less you have to loose in the end. =)

I will be 28 weeks tomorrow and I actually weigh 2 lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm was overweight before I got pregnant so I was told not to gain much by my Dr so if they aren't worried about it I'm not worried about it. Plus I look at it like I won't have that much to lose to get back down to what I was before or maybe go lower. Good luck ladies.

I am 26 weeks in and I have only gained 3 pounds total. My doctor is not concerned about it at all even tho I really have been. Ieat healthy (most of the time) and a lot but no matter what I can't gain.

I've lost 15 lbs from all the throwing up. I feel fine for the most part, just tired.

With my third pregnancy I only gained 11 lbs. The only thing I suggest that you be careful of is have your doc check your amniotic fluid levels. I had to be induced because within two days my levels dropped  quickly. I dont want to scare you but they suggested it had to do with my low weight gain.... good luck doll.

No i was at 12 pounds at 30 weeks.  I am now at 15 pounds at 36 and 6.  My doctor couldnt be happier.  My last pregnancy I put on a total of 17 pounds and my doctors were very happy that time too.  I think you are doing great! :-)

Nope exact opposite, the app always tells my weight gain is excessive. Haha, but if ur doc isn't worried I wouldn't worry. I have heard a lot of women that loose weight or gain in the last month.
