Weight/Vent?

So at my last visit my doctor brought up the fact that I have only gained 1 pound so far and I am almost 21 weeks. She said not too worry too much about it because my last 6 weeks I will gain 6 pounds atomattically. But she wasn't very happy about it still.. And according to this app, I was supposted to have gained 10-15 pounds already. My doctor said my measuerments were fine though.. I'm just so scared everytime I go in there because of the fact that I feel like I'm going to step on the scale and see that I've gained a lot of weight.. And it's sad to say but the lower the number is it kind of makes me happy. My ultra sound said that my baby is fine and that he is measuring where he should be and is developing just fine. I guess this is more of a vent than anything, but still.. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this going on??

@BabyTurnip glad to hear your little man is doing good!! And lol yeah, it should be easier to lose that 6lb than it would be the amount you're told to gain. He sounds pretty big too!! Are you going to be induced??

I don't get it either. All lthe numbers have just had me really concerned. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that is going through this though and their baby is fine. I've just had a lot of morning sickness and barley keep anythign down. Plus I guess the fact that I am trying to stay fairly active. I lost a lot of weight my first trimester too, I think around 12-18 pounds but not for sure how much exactly. I'm glad to hear your litttle girl is doing good though!! :)

Im 40weeks today and only gained 6lbs. Im.as healthy as a bull and my son weights about 8lbs 3oz as of last week. Of course not accurate but hes rougly a really good weight. My dr made me do three ultrasound in my last trimester to keep an eye on his weight and ges doing great! So im not worried, just means less baby weighy to lose thats all. As long as hes healthy im happy!

I feel the same way Hun.. I have only gained 4 pounds and I'm 26+2 I lost 15 pounds in my first trimester.. but every time I have to go to the Dr and weigh myself I get really stressed out about the numbers on the scale. My baby girl is doing good.. she is in the 89th percentile for weight at her gestational age and my Dr told me that it's OK as long as baby is healthy... so I'm happy.. I just don't know why they tell you to gain 25-35 pounds if its okay not to gain so much.
