No Gain.

So I'm 24 weeks pregnant today and I haven't gained any weight. My stomach has grown a tremendous amount, but the scale isn't adding up. Apparently I should be over ten pounds heavier right now, and I've actually lost a pound since my last weigh in. My eating habits weren't the best before I found out I was pregnant, and they got a lot better. Could this be because of stress? I just need some advice. What should I do?

Not everyone gains the right amount of weight . Some people even loose weight for months before they start gaining . If baby is healthy, I"ll just be happy that I won't be looking like a hippo anytime soon ! Lol good luck
