Question

i am 21 weeks with my second child and have only gained 11 lbs
i say ONLY because with my first daughter at 21 weeks i gained 30 by now!!!

Answer 1

I usually gained 16-19 lbs in the first 5 months. Normally, if your pre-pregnancy weight is normal, you should gain 2 to 5 pounds in the first 3 months and about 1 pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy for the optimal growth of your baby. Check out this link for more:

Answer 2

With baby 1 & 2 I gained no weight by 21 weeks and 15 lbs total, I am expecting # 3 , 11 weeks still no weight gain. Eat healthy & baby will be A-OK!

Answer 3

I only gained 10 pounds during my whole pregnancy and when my son was born he weighed 4lbs, 15.6oz and was 17 inches long. He was and is healthy. I couldn't gain weight for puking non stop the entire time.
