My starting weight was 100 pounds. I am now 38 weeks preg. and weigh 151 pounds. It's alot of work carrying all of this weight around. I work in retail and do alot of walking. At the end of the night my ankles and feet are so swollen I have to do this stomping thing just to walk.

I was 95 pounds at 19 when I got pregnant with my daughter and I gained about 25 pounds during my pregnancy it was a healthy pregnacy I had a daughter who weighted 6 pounds 12 ounces and I went back down to 100 pounds now Im 24 years old with my second pregnacy and I now weigh 106 gained an extra 6 pounds and I am berley 2 months. this pregnacy will maybe gain the most weight lets cross our fingers it doesnt. So your answer yes it is possible and I get to still wear my size 1 jeans just unbuckle the button and zipper and wear a long shirt or sweater. e-mail me if you are pregnant and are concered.

How do you think children can get pregnant Some patients that I have seen have only been in the 60-70 pound range! Your body will be able to handle it as long as the baby grows you will gain weight.

A petite woman will not have a baby larger than she can carry. I know a skinny girl who had a 10 lb. baby naturally. If the baby is too big, then a c-section will be performed - often the case for petite women.

I was 100 lbs when I got pregnant, and gave birth at 140 lbs! How do they do it??? They gain lots and lots of weight. Look at all those celebrities!!!! No, seriously though, woman are made to carry babies. Bodies conform to meet the needs of their pregnancy.

If she is naturally a short person, then this is natural for her and it is likely she will just carry a slightly smaller sized child, or else possibly need a c-section. Plus she is bound to put on weight during the pregnancy, which will help.

I know a few women that were that thin when they got pregnant and had healthy babies. If a woman is short, like under 5 feet tall, about 95 pounds is what she should weigh.

Ah yeah---
My neighbor is the mother of FOUR and she is that size--- she's a gymnast and she is just naturally tiny. She delivered normally, her babies were of average size and she breastfed all 4 with no problems.
I'm 5'8" so I feel really tall around her & it's funny to note that my skinny,athlete 12 yr old daughter wieighs more than she does...
