Almost 21 weeks. Still not showing?

I'll be 21 weeks this Friday but I'm not showing at all. This entire pregnancy I have only gained five pounds. My baby measures perfectly and I can feel the pain of my stomach streaching but I'm not getting any bigger. I'm kind of concerned, my doctor said I should be gaining at least a pound a week but I'm not. I eat the right amount, even maybe a little more sugar than I should, but don't put on the weight. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Although I'm only 19 wks. I have went from 154 to 144 up until now. I was concerned but my doctor said as long as the baby is growing I'm perfectly fine.

Don't worry about that. You still have time to gain weight and as long as the baby is growing and is fine, everything is ok.i'll be 20 weeks tomorrow and till now I lost 2 kg...
With my first pregnancy i also didn't gain much weight till i was in the 28th week. I don't know how it would have continued, as my baby was born then in 27+6, but my son was alright and even bigger than he should be according to this app. He was 1244 gr, that's around 250 gr more than supposed.
So, don't worry :*
