    I lost weight in the first 5 months of pregnancy. Normally, you should gain anywhere from 24-29 pounds during your whole pregnancy.

    Good Luck!!!!

    I have lost weight, but I have only gained a pound over my normal weight. You will gain plenty more towards the end. Thats where I gained all of mine last time.

    by the way I am 21 weeks.

    I was having the same worries as you when I was 18 weeks. But just give it another couple weeks and the weight will be adding on big time. Enjoy this!

    You need to speak with your doctor. Please don't ask something that important here. Everyone is different and goes through pregnancy in their own way. Ask your female relatives about their experiences (it may be inherited), and if you're really getting concerned, talk to your doctor. PLEASE.
