Alright so I am almost 20 weeks pregnant and I have still not gained a single lb. I just keep losing weight. I started out at 152 and now I am about 140. is this normal? is it safe? The baby seems to be healthy I have an ultrasound on december 4th to find out the gender so they will tell me if the baby is growing.

Your Dr will let you know if he or she is worried about weight gain. I didn't gain anything until around 27 weeks..and so far all I have gained is 5 lbs (im not complaining hahaha)

Every one and every pregnancy is different.  With dd #2 I didn't start gaining weight until 24 weeks.  Don't worry, the pounds will come :P

With my son, I started gaining weight immediately. But with my daughter, I haven't gained an ounce. I'm actually down 10 pounds. I haven't gained ANYTHING, and I'm 31 weeks along. I started out kinda big though, so since baby girl is growing really well, my doctor isn't worried about it at all. I think that as long as your doctor isn't worried about it, you shouldn't worry either! You're stressed out enough!

with my first i lost 14 lbs in the beginning cause i was so sick. I have lost a couple so far with this one (im @20 weeks) if the docs arent worried about your overall weight then its fine. the lbs WILL come! just look at those shows "i didnt know i was preg" a lot of those girls never gain weight.

I haven't gained a pound yet. With my two daughters I gained very little and they were healthy.  I had an ultrasound yesterday and at 21 weeks the baby is 13 ounces (give or take) So if I were you I wouldnt worry too much.

I didn't start gaining weigt till I was 29 weeks.. I only gained 15 pounds and because of that I now weigh less after the pregnancy then what I did before I got pregnant.. As long as your doc doesn't say anything and the baby is good then you have nothing to worry about..
