    Before 20weeks i wouldn't worry too much baby is just forming and after the 20week point they start to gain weight. Im currently 20 weeks with number 2 and i have only gained 7 pounds. Week 16 i had only gained 2 but since then i have been gaining steadily. If your doctor isn't worried i wouldn't worry. Most of my weight gain happens after 24-26weeks. If you are worried just ask your doc about it next appt.

    It's a different pregnancy which means you will most likely have different symptoms which includes weight gain. You should definitely speak to your doctor about this, has your tummy extended at all?

    The next time you see your doctor this is something you really should ask them. They know the best answer.
