weight loss

Ftm. My severe morning sickness took my weight from 186 to 142 ..Lately I've been gaining weight back sometimes 1pound every two weeks or 1pound a week.  I'm 34 weeks now and really all baby I feel everything and he has my stomach so sore. I'm wondering when will they tell me how he's growing as far as his weight? I'd like to know how he is and that he's gaining healthy I eat as much as I possibly can for him before getting sick.

I'm on my 4th pregnancy & have lost a little weight(from before pregnancy), I'm 29 weeks along now. I asked my doctor about my concerns, she said not to worry about it because 1. I'm overweight 2. Bigger women normally don't gain much weight in pregnancy and 3. Baby will take all the nutrients from me.  
She gave me a 2nd ultrasound to check on baby! And my baby is perfectly healthy & an estimated 3 lbs. already!

You take prenatal vitamins?

i think your doctor would say something if they were concerned. it sounds like you are now gaining at a good rate - so baby is probably okay.

Ask ur Dr about his weight. My Dr told me it's not until 38 weeks that they can usually have a really good idea unless you have an ultrasound.
