Your Pregnancy: Week 16

Thats how I am I talked to the doctor he didnt seem too surprised!

With my first, I started at 118 and was 222 at delivery. I lost down to 182 just giving birth. Its going to depend on your body. This is my second pregnancy, I'm 16 weeks, and I've lost 14 lbs so far. Thankfully!!!

Sixteen weeks and lost five lbs from last doctor appt. Down to 114 Been stuffing my face non-stop and cant keep the pounds on.

I agree that it all just depends on your body. I'm small, and gained a lot of weight with my first baby, but i was back to normal weight within 3 months of having him. As long as you're eatting good, and taking care of yourself, your body will do the rest, and it will know what it can handle. I wouldn't stress too much about weight. Personally, i thinnk they put way too much focus on weight...

I was 135 to start & 215 @ delivery with my son. The nurse practitioner, not my OB, gave me a hard time. I was back to my pre-preg weight within the year. I won't be gaining that much this time around. I have only gained about 5 lbs @ 16 weeks. I'm noticing things like my hips spreading which is causing me to really need maternity wear.

Awwww... an avacado- that made my day:)

i'm 16 weeks and i've gained about 8 pounds. no morning sickness at all and all i want to eat is sweets!!!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant with twins and have only gained 4 lbs. Doctors say this is fine and the pregnancy weight will catch up with me soon enough.

i'm 16 weeks and i've lost weight i was 155 before i got pregnant and today i weigh 139.5 i eat so much but its going all to the babyi assume! i talked to my doctor and he said its normal it all depends on body type he told me i will probably continue to lose weight until at least my 6th month and then i will start to gain it back he said if im a lucky one then i will only gain what i have lost and then i will be back to where i was.

NOW THAT IM IN THE SECOND TRIMESTER I AM STARTING TO GET MORE TIRED AND LESS NAUSEA.. CAUSE IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS IN THE PREGANACY I HAD MORNIG SICKNESS REALLY BAD AND IT WOULD GET SO BAD TO WHERE I COULDNT HOLE ANY FOOD OR LIQUID DOWN AND SINCE THAT HAPPENED I WAS PUT ON PHENEGRAN AND IT HELP AND NOW THAT IM 16 WEEKS I DONT HAVE TO TAKE THE PHENEGRAN SO ITS BEEN LIKE THT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I THINK IM STARTING TO FEEL LITTLE KICKS BUT NOT SURE... ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I TOUCH MY STOMACH IT FEELS LIKE LITTLE BUTTERFLIES IN THERE

I'm almost 16 weeks and I have only gained 2 pounds. My Dr. Said it was perfectly normal. I was surprised before I feel like I've gained a ton of weight!

I had my amnio we found out that Its a girl should I wait to buy baby items or should I wait for results?

I've only gained a couple of pounds as well and I'm at the 16 mark too. I felt like i should've gained more but my doc seems happy.

I am at 16 weeks. At my 12 week appointment I hadn't gained any weight and in fact had lost .5 lbs. I went to the doctors yesterday and weighed in. The scale said I had gained ten lbs. However the last time I weighted in, I was wearing a sundress and flip flops. This time I had on boots, corduroys and a sweater since the weather had changed. I weighted myself that morning when got up - I had gained only 4.5 lbs since the beginning. However, my doctor gave me a "talking to" saying I need to watch the weight gain. It made me feel really bad about myself. I have only gained 4.5 lbs in 16 weeks of pregnancy. Even if I had gained the 10, I still think that is pretty reasonable and doesn't warrent a speech that makes you feel bad.

I'm 16 wks and down about 12lbs...I was really sick in the beginning, but havent been sick in a couple weeks and still have lost a couple pounds since??? I have my apt mon. My belly still seems to be growing rapidly, so I think things are ok...

i've only put on 3 lbs at 16 weeks...but i've got quite a belly! eveyone asks if i'm having twins - NO - nor am i having some sort of freak baby! i do wonder what the next few months will hold if i'm already showing this much (1st baby, too)!

I have noticed that your body, for the most part, will do what it needs to do to give you a healthy body. When I was pregnant with my first I never got sick, could eat anything, craved meat... and gained a LOT of weight. He is 4 now, and I haven't lost everything I need to. I'm 16 weeks into my second pregnancy now, and I am losing weight. Baby says, "Hey mom, let's stay healthy together!" Our bodies are miracles, knowing what they need to do to prepare for baby! Don't worry!

Im 16 weeks and have always had migraine headaches. I hadn't had one in a LONG time. But man this week I have had a headache everyday. Are any of you ladies experiencing this?

I'm 15 weeks and I've only gained about 4lbs. I think everyones bodies react differently.

I have only gained about 2 lbs and that is in the past few weeks. I was at the Dr. at 14 weeks and hadn't gained anything and she said it was normal. I'm only about 115 normally, so I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone is different!

I've also only gained one pound, and my doctor didn't seem too concerned. He said it'll come in time! As long as the baby's heartbeat is strong and I'm healthy, he wouldn't worry abou it!! Let's just count ourselved lucky!!

It's been a very odd 16 weeks when it comes to food. I always thought I'd be craving everything in site, and eating all the time...not the case. If anything it's been the opposite...often nothing sounds good, and its hard to decipher whether I'm hungry or nautious. If I eat too much, it makes me feel sick. I haven't gained much weight, but my doctor said things are just "shifting around". No matter what, I make sure to eat...whether its snacking on fruit and veggies, or another light snack. Got to keep baby happy and healthy!

i've gained 8 pounds and i guess that is 2 pounds too much!!! i feel good but im not really shoing yet so im wondering where all this weight is going right now?!?:) n is any1 else still dizzy and have blurry eyesight or headaches?:{

I haven't gained any weight yet either, and the doc is not concerned!

Im 16 weeks and I've gained 9 lbs. I started out at 112 now I'm 121, which I guess is normal also. I guess it does just depend on your body type.

I am 16 weeks and I have a terrible pain where my ovaries are on my left side! What does this mean? And it's nothing like having cramps with your period. Should I be alarmed?

Im 16 weeks and i have gained 8 pounds so far. i went from 125 to 133 so i think im doing good so far.

has anyone felt their baby move? not me.. :o(

I've only gained a pound too; I think it's because I've been eating healthier. I can't get enough apples!

im 16 weeks as well and since the beginning of my pregnancy ive lost 30 lbs(morning sickness kicked my butt!!!) and i havent gained any back yet... but my doc said its ok and im still very healthy...

I am 16 weeks also and have not gained any weight, but think I have lost some. But the crazy thing is I eat alot, but it is not always bad stuff, I eat a lot of fruit and snack foods. I dont want to gain a lot of weight anyway, but I wish I could tell I was preggers, my belly is only popped out a lil bit and it is my third.

im 16 weeks ive gained just a few pounds. says its normal.

I'm 16 weeks and I've gained 12 lbs. so far...hopefully I won't overgain!

I have the strangest pregnancy ever! I do not have morning sickness, dizziness, or food cravings. I have gained a TON of weight, I do not have a pregnancy glow, fast growing hair or nails. my hair is really oily now, especially at the roots. I am 16 weeks now and Sometimes I wish that I had those common symptoms because it doesn't really feel like I'm pregnant. Sometimes I even forget!

I think your fine. Unless your doctor says otherwise. This is my second pregnancy. With the first, I lost 10 lbs.in the first half (belive me I made up for it in the end!!). With this one I've only gained 2 lbs. I think it all depends on your body. Just keep eating well.

My dr told me yesterday that the goal is to have gained between 7 and 11 lbs by 20 weeks. I had gained 4 by my 12 week appt but then didn't gain anything between weeks 12 and 16, despite that my tummy grew quite a bit. She said that was perfectly fine and that I'd likely gain another 4 - 6 in the next month.

I am also 16 weeks and havent gained any weight, I havent thrown up either but I asked my doctor about it yesterday and he said it was normal, so nothing to worry about.

I think I've gained too, too much weight. I was 180 and now I'm a sad 218. That's like way to much. My husband keeps telling me it's baby weight to make me feel better but it's not helping

I am 16 weeks today. At my dr appt last week I still hadn't gained any weight at all. According to my dr, I was 5lbs over weight when I got pregnant, so she's not concerned that I haven't gained any since. I am very surprised because I haven't really been trying NOT to gain. I thought I was eating more because I was on Weight Watchers before I got pregnant and hadn't been eating that way since. But oh well, all is good with baby and me so far and we find out the sex in 3 more weeks. YAY!!

I'm 16 weeks and have gained 5 lbs, but I think that's mostly my chest they are huge LOL I'm still not showing!

My first child I started out at 98 pounds and was 170 when I gave birth, then with my 2nd child I started out 135 , he was 4 months premature but I only was 145 when I gave birth to him, now with my third I am 16 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds but I am really showing with this one.

I am 16 weeks and i have already gained almost 15 lbs. My doctor is not worried one bit. Just as long as you weren't really overweight pre-pregnancy, i think you should enjoy it while you can! I am prego with my 3rd and with my first 2 i gained about 55 lbs. each time. After breastfeeding and getting back into the gym i lost it faster than i gained it, and actually got smaller than i was pre-pregnancy. Just as long as you eat a well balanced diet most of the time you should enjoy and not fret this beautiful situation!

I'm sixteen weeks and i weighed 126 before i was pregnant and now i weigh 130. My dr said that was good.

I am the same way, just take comfort when your doc tells you everything is fine. Everyone's body is different. As long as you are eating enough and the right foods baby will be just fine. My cousin who is 6 weeks ahead of me was twice my size at 16weeks, it is just because we are different. The weight will pick up soon so enjoy the low number while you can!

I'm also at week 16 and was so sick in the beginning I lost 6lbs by week 8. I have gained back 3 so still negetive 3 and my Dr. isn't worried. Make sure you keep taking the Vitimans and all should be good!!

I'm also at week 16 and was so sick in the beginning I lost 6lbs by week 8. I have gained back 3 so still negetive 3 and my Dr. isn't worried. Make sure you keep taking the Vitimans and all should be good!!

I'm 16 weeks and feeling great!!! I've only put on 6 lbs so far. Can't wait to find out if this baby is a boy or girl! :)

ITS NORMAL I LOST ONE POUND AND GAINED 0 THE DOCTOR SAID ITS NORMAL BUT GAINING ONE OR TWO POUNDS IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. GAINING TOO MUCH WEIGHT IN THE FIRST MONTHS IS NOT SO GOOD CUZ THEN YOU WILL EXCEED THE RECOMENDED AMOUNT BY THE TIME YOU DELIVER . I BOUGHT A DOPPLER AND LOVE HEARING MY BABY EVERY MORNING AND EVERY NIGHT, I CAN FEEL HIM/HER MOVE ITS WONDERFUL.

I gained 10 pounds in the first two months and then just stopped gaining anything, but my stomach is pooching out more. I am glad the gaining has slowed though, because it was happening a bit too fast!

my best friend is pregnant with her first and for the 1st 5-6 months she was losing weight as long as doc saying everything ok its normal everyones diff

I'm 16 weeks and have gained 8 lbs.

Hey Ladies, the weight gain thing is so different for every person and every pregnancy. My first pregnancy I gained 60 pounds. Second time I gained 40 pounds. This time I'm 16 weeks and so far I've gained 8 pounds. Even with the excessive weight gain of my first pregnancy, I was healthy. Much of that weight was fluid retention at the end. Just make sure you stay active, choose healthy foods to snack on and get plenty of rest.

I am 16 weeks tomorrow and have not gained an oz. I have actually lost 12lbs. Mostly i think this is due to the morning sickness making me not want to eat so i just drink my water and take my prenatal vitamins for now and eat a lil something now and then.

I'm 16 weeks and I've lost weight!! Almost 15 pounds!! With my first Iost a ton of weight and got put on bed rest!!! I am scared when I go to my next ob appt I'll have to go back on bed rest!!!

I am 16 weeks and have lost 9 pounds. no real bad morning sickness or anything, and I still eat healthy and get all the right nutrients. Doc says its perfectly fine as long as the baby is growing at a normal rate. For each woman it is just different.

i'm 16 wks and i hav a couple of wks ago i had gained abt 3kilos. am scared to get on the scale now, most of my clothes dont fit tho my bump is not visible jus pickin up weight on my hips and backside, its worrying. but i guess wat matters is as long as i can hav a healthy baby, its all worth it. by kayla

I am 16 wks 1 day and only gained 4 lbs so far, Doc told me yesterday to only gain 15 for all of pregnancy. I hope she not to mad when I go over I gained 40 with all other 4 pregnancies. I lost all of it was back to normal in 6 weeks except for last pregnancy.I had a c section and haven't been able to lose the extra weight.

It just depends on your body my first preg i was 122 pre preg and the day I delivered i was only 140 (so only 18lbs) my second preg i was 102 pre preg and 144 day i delivered i know they give you a range to stay between but its up to your own body both my kids are perfectly healthy and i didnt stay in the range the drs sd i should be in i'm almost 17 wks now and have maintained the same weight as pre preg but baby looks great in ultrasoun =d

I am 15 1/2 weeks and have not gained weight yet. I was 148lb. pre pregnancy and am the same now. My Dr. said me weight "shifted" because I am beginning to show but I notice my arms, hands, ect. are thinner because I was really sick during the first trimester. I actually lost 6 lbs. in 1st trimester so it depends on your situation.

i'm 16 weeks tomorrow - just had my appt. today & doc says i've gained 2lbs, no worries there, and we're having a boy!!! don't think 1lb is too little, as everyone else says, it all depends on your body!

I'm 16 weeks also and yes it is normal. I lost 5lbs and was a little scared but when I talked to my doctor she that it was normal and that you will start gaining more after 16 weeks.

I have only gained one pound so far as well and I am at 16 weeks. My doctor didn't seem to worry either though he did put me on anti-nausea medicine so my appetite improves. No throwing up here either just decreased appetite. My doctor said the baby will get everything it needs. I actually lost 10 pounds in my first trimester which he said was fine to.

I'm 16 weeks as of yesterday and I haven't gained any weight either...Doctor said it was okay because most of it would come in the third trimester. I am eating healthy and getting some exercise -- no cravings as of yet.

I'm 16 weeks and I think I started at 130 lb but two weeks ago I weighed 127 lb... I'm sure I am now heavier since my bump is starting to show! My regular clothes still fit but are starting to feel a little uncomfortable hehe! I already bought a couple of looser fitting dresses and I love them :D

I am in the same boat! I am 16 weeks and have only gained 1 pound, haven't had any sort of morning sickness (thank goodness) and can not stop eating-- went to the doctors yesterday and the doctor was not at all concerned. He said that the weight will catch up eventually.

I think it just depends on your body. I have gained 2 lbs and am 16 weeks, but I was sick for the 2nd and 3rd month!!! Just make sure you are eating healthy and you should be fine!

im 16 wks prego with my second and have lost 16 lbs...i also work out 4 days a week and was overweight when i concieved. Everyone is different..just remember it is hard to loose weight after baby is here! At least it was for me!

I was over weight when i found out I was pregnant in Jan. I am now 16 weeks and 5 days, and i eat like a pig and I have lost weight... :/ Also I was diagnosed with Asthma yesterday when I went to my PCP he gave me an inhaler 2 puffs 4x a day Ventolin HFA

I'm 16 weeks and gained two pounds. But looks like I gained more cuz I think my babies big. Lol && I eat everything too! Two of everything literally.

At 16 weeks I had gained a net of two pounds after losing several in the first trimester - doctor said that was perfect. I started at 148, dropped to about 144 and at 16 weeks was 150.

Miss Dani, no it isn't too little, as long as your OB has done a sono and your amniotic fluid levels are high enough... You're just LUCKY :) My son was 9lbs when he was born and I only gained 12lbs with that pregnancy. I threw up CONSTANTLY, but still, he was PERFECT :) I am 16+wks now with this pregnancy and have LOST weight (and I am already thin) but everything is perfectly normal and healthy. No worries, you're just fine :)

I'm 16 wks n I gained 5 lbs. Is that a lot or a no?

I weighed 130 pounds two months ago, and i still weigh 130 pounds but im getting a belly?

I'm 16 weeks and have not gained any weight either. This is my 2nd and I didn't start gaining weight until after 20 weeks. Keep in mind EVERY pregnancy is differnet.

16 weeks pregnant and 2 days w/ twins....everything is going smoothly w/ no problems. I'm just really tired and hungry all the time..I drink a Boost to pick-up my energy and get extra calories in :)

Andrea, you could have multiples, never know until u get the ultrasound. 16 weeks, just like the rest of you, I am pg with my 3rd baby, 2 previous girls, hoping for a boy, heart rate was 150 at 14 weeks, same as the girls. What is your baby's heart rate?

I've been told it's perfectly normal to lose weight in the beginning of your pregnancy. I've lost 25 lbs since the beginning of my pregnancy. I'm 16 wks now and hope to keep losing for a little while longer before it's time for the baby to start showing!

i'm 16 weeks and i have lost about 5-6 pounds and i haven't gained any in return... i threw up all the time and now when i thought it was over i threw up again tonight...... lol oh boy!!

since 6 weeks i had gained only half a lb at my last visit @ 14 weeks and i've had morning sickness and I still do and i'm 16 weeks, i asked if it was ok and he said at least i'm gaining weight... haha half a lb isn't much gain!

I'm 16 weeks and only gained 4 pounds...i think its fine the baby only ways a few ounces anyway...I read something somewhere about too much weight gain in the first trimester could be a sign of gestational diabetes

My 1st pregnancy I gained faster and more because I was below normal weight for my age and heighthi wieght 125lbs. this pregnancy ive gained 3 lbs at 16wks but started at Normal which I was 145 lbs. From seeing my friends and family go thru multiple pregnancies every pregnacy has been diffrent So i wouldnt worry about weight gain unless your Dr. thinks it is way dramatic. Calling the nurse at your dr office with any concerns or questions always helped ease me fear the 1st time.

I didn't gain one pound yet and the doctor said that was okay, just not to LOOSE weight!

i am 16 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds and my doc said it was ok

At my 14 week visit I had lost 3 lbs from my 11 week visit. Since I hit 2nd trimester, I actually want to eat. First trimester, food kinda grossed me out- that explains the weight loss. I do have to say, I drink so much water yet I still always feel parched! Not sure why!

I am 16 weeks also and have lost two lbs...It is all different for every woman. If your dr isnt worried then I wouldnt worry either

I started at 135 and am now 148.....16 weeks too:-) I am going to the beach over Memorial Day... I wish I have only gained 1lb...consider your self lucky!

This is my first pregnancy and I am just so thankful to able to experience this miracle. I really didn't know if I could or wanted children b/c Im a workaholic (well I was).

I've lost 15 pounds since finding out I was pregnant. I'm 16 weeks today. I have a lot of trouble with morning, noon, and night sickness. You just have to make sure you are taking in enough liquids. Your doctor would have told you if your lack of weight gain was something to watch.

I've gained about 5 pounds and am quickly heading into week 17. I coach however and walk nearly 3 miles a day. I believe that is why I'm keeping the weight off.

dont worry i gainined nothing yet and im 16 weeks

I'm 16 weeks today and I've done nothing but I've done nothing but lose weight. My doctor says its perfectly normal for some women...nothing is wrong as long as your baby is healthy and gaining weight like he/she should.

16 weeks, yes! I just gain 1 pound, so Im doing pretty good for what Im eating.

wow ii was 115 when i started n now im 130 lol the doc said for my hieght its not good he told me to control my mouth

Im having really bad pains in my sides. Is anyone else having this? I think maybe its from stretching??

im 16 weeks and ive lost about 10lbs.

i'm 16 weeks and i have lost 4 pounds and with my first kid i gained like 30

I've only gained 4lbs......but my goal is to only gain 15-20 the entire pregnancy. But i'm a "big boned" girl to begin with. I think this is one of those things that is different for everyone!

i also have only gained just a couple of pounds and my belly now has a slight pooch that everyone says they cant see, but dang it, i know its there :o)

I have lost almost 20 lbs since 6 weeks pregnant (currently 16 weeks). Although they don't like you to loose weight, it's ok not to gain weight. We still have a ways to go an you never know what the third trimester has in store :)

I am also 16 weeks and have gained 1 pound. My OB said that is normal and fine.

i'm 16 weeks today, i've lost 2 lbs since getting pregant, if u haven't thrown up u r lucky. can't tell u the last time i haven't! the doc said its was normal. anyone getting any acid reflux disease symptoms

Im 16 weeks and have gained 10 lbs! is this too much? I 'm trying to walk at leat 3 times a week. i lived in Puerto Rico and is very very verrrry hot since the summer started.. I try to walk early in the morning or late in the afternoon but is getting impossible to walk with this weather~

IM 16 WEEKS AND HAVENT GAIN A POUND

I have lost 7 pounds :( ... but i am starting to show :).....

i am 16 weeks now and i have actually lost 12 pounds. I never feel like eating i try just cant stomach anything right now:( im worried my baby isnt getting enough nutrients. Anyone have advice

I'm 16 weeks today and this is my first pregnancy. I started out weighing 115lbs before getting pregnant. I had morning sickness every other day most of my first trimester, but still managed to gain 15lbs. I've practiced yoga for the past 9 years and eat extremely healthy (except for the occasional pizza and chocolate), so I was surpised to hear that some people have hardly gained anything. I guess every women is different. One thing for sure is my breast have gotten huge, started with a 34B and I am already a 38C!! I didn't think I'd be that big this early, but my hubby loves it. Haha. I definately look pregnant now, which makes me happy. I just started feeling the baby kick this week too. It's so wonderful!

I am the same. Only gained 3 pounds at 6 weeks. My doctor said that it is ok, and he is expecting me to gain more after the 20 week mark.

I weighed 130 before pregnancy, I now weigh 125. I don't think it's a big deal how much you weigh as long as you're getting enough nutrients and all that and the loss/gain isn't too significant.

I`m almost 16 weeks pregnant with twins. Only put a couple of pounds on, but that could be just because i`m eating everyhting I can get my hands on.

im 16 weeks and i havent gained any weight!! im still losing but im eating and im on bedrest...what gives??

I am 16 weeks this week and instead of gaining even a pound I have lost 25. With my first pregnancy I didnt gain any weight til I was 7.5 months but I never lost any. Is this normal. My doctor says I need to eat more but I do not feel like eating. I have to force myself. I havent gotten sick or anything either. Is this normal?

I'm 16w2d, and I havent gained anything yet either! I'm 5'8" and weith 147 lbs. My OB said that I probably have a high metabolism, and just to eat a lot of small protein-packed snacks throughout the day.

This is my 3rd baby and I have gained 3 pounds last visit and have another visit Monday...I am 16weeks....A couple pounds a month would be fine with me!

This is my second child. I am 16 weeks. With my first, I gained 30 pounds. But I had also had her at 6 months too. This time, I started out at 120 pounds, and I lost down to 115-116. I was really worried cause I am very high risk. But this last visit I had gained back to 119. It is still a little scarey for me cause I am not gaining too much weight. But the past two days, I have started feeling the baby move rather than just flutters. I just hope that I make it past 28 weeks this time.

I am 16 weeks and I started out at 115 - I am now 123. I think I'm pretty close to being right on target with my weight gain. I eat when I'm hungry and do my best to eat well, but I give into my cravings for sure and eat more than normal.

I weight 98 pounds before I got pregnant and then dropped to 91 because of all the sickness. I now weight 93.. so I have only "gained two pounds" my doctor did tell me from now till the baby is born I need to gain a pound a week.

I am 16 weeks and have gone from 175 to 200lbs. But I have lost 4lbs since last month.

I haven't gained anything either and my doctor wasn't worried.

you put good food in your body it will do what it needs to do.You need to drop a few thats what will happen.On the flip side if all you eat is junk and you are stuffing your face all the time with that junk..you are probably going to pack on the pounds and even if you don't your body will suffer.

I'm on my 4th baby and i also have only gained 1.5 lbs my preganacy last yr I only gained 42 lbs. But I walk daily and drink 3-5 bottles of water per day. Your weight will change as your baby changes and eating healthy and excersising will benefit you in the end.

16 weeks and i've gained about 6 lbs but i feel like i gained 20!!!

hi all well just to add my first time input (hehe) according to a pregnancy chart you are supposed to gain 2-5 lbs in the first trimester and 1 lb a week in the second trimester and also in the third!

Sorry I see everyone is talking about weight gain, my last post I was talking about the baby flutter...Well I have gained a bit of weight so far, instead of looking like I am 4 months I look like I am about 6 1/2 months My doctor hasnt said anything to me for the weight gain, my tummy isn't flabby it is all tight but I am having alot of swelling in my legs so I am thinking most of my weight gain is in me retaining fluids..Have a appointment on Friday I hope it goes wells I am already marked as a high risk all the swelling I am having is starting to worry me..

Every woman's body is different. I've heard of women who gained 19 lbs. to 60 lbs. throughout their pregnancy. I'm steadily gaining a pound a week. I started out 145 and I'm now 154 at 16 weeks. I don't own a scale, so I would even estimate I'm 155 by now. It all depends on what you eat and how your body (and baby) processes it.

I am sixteen weeks today, and have gained about 5 pounds. I don't see the Dr. till next week, but I think it's fine. Everyone is different.

I am 16weeks and gained 8 ls so far I workout everyday but treat myself if i want something. Usually I eat a very strict diet so now I indulge if i want something cause im pregnant. Its my 2nd with my 1st i gained 33.

I am 16 weeks and I am 4lbs under my start weight, but I have been very sick. My doctor said that as long as I don't lose more than 10% of my body weight that the baby is fine. Honestly, I am still worried so I totally understand where you come from!!

I'm 17 weeks on Friday and I haven't gained anything and I never threw up either Miss Dani! We are just lucky.. That's all. My doctor told me, in a perfect situation, women would only gain up to 11 pounds. So don't worry bout only gaining 1 so far! Just wait!

im sooo hungry but only for things that i would get at a restraunt. ( like a nice wrap or something

i'm 16 wks and have lost 12 lbs so far. not thrown up and have a decent appetite. its weird you spend your whole life trying to lose weight get pregnant prepare to gain weight.. and end up losing. but i know that will all change later . everyones bodies are just different. as long as youre having your check ups reg. keep eating healthy for your baby ;)

I am 16 weeks and am down 15 lbs. LOL gaining 1 is doing GREAT! my doctor said everyone is different and can gain a little or a lot. And we still have PLENTY of time to pack on the pounds!

I WISH firm, glowing skin was one of my preggo side effects. I'm broken out all over my face and am worried about using chemicals--even over the counter stuff--to treat the acne. Does anyone else have this problem? Possible remedies?

I am 4 months along and I am still at the same weight when I got pregnant... 186... I haven't had a big appetite... and I have been eating mostly fruit and veggies because I can never finish a big meal... My Dr. said that its ok if I haven't gained yet...

due to morning sickness and a wicked case of food poisoning, I lost about 15 lbs my first trimester, but am slowly gaining the weight back. + 2 lbs at my last appointment, and my bun is growing good! As long as your babies are healthy and growing your weight may not be a big deal.

I will be 24 weeks tomorrow and I've only gained 2 pounds. When you go to your doctor they'll measure the baby and make sure that the baby is progressing and growing properly. I didn't get to find out I was okay until I was 20 weeks though when they did the diagnostic U/S. My baby is in the 56th percentile for height and weight, perfectly normal and is expected to way 7 3/4 pounds at birth... So... don't stress

I'm 16 weeks and have LOST 15lbs since I got pregnant! Is this something to worry about? I'm eating, I just can't eat NEARLY as much, and a good bit of the time, what I eat doesn't even stay down. I'm not exercizing, because for the first 14 weeks I was on bed rest. I weighed 211 when I got pregnant, now I'm down to 196ish.

Im 15 wks and have gained 6 pounds

I have the same thing I am 16 weeks now and have gained barely 2 lbs (and I eat everything in site and more) Indeed the doctor doens;t seemed to be worried to I try not to either. As long as the baby seems fine I keep eating hahahaha

This is my first pregnancy and I've lost 16 pounds and I'm 16 weeks today. I am a little overweight and my doctor told me that I should gain any weight if possible; so now I'm showing him... I hope :o)

I turn 16 weeks tomorrow and I think I felt the baby move for the first time./ is this normal or is ths a bit too early?

I have lost 15lbs since the time I first found out I was prego til now (16 weeks) My dr. said I shouldn't be loosing, staying the same or gaining, so hopefully next visit I'll gain. Most people I have talked to said it happens...I'm not too worried, I have been eating much better than pre-pregnancy and cut out soda, so I think THAT's a BIG thing. Best Wishes Ladies!

im 16 weeks and about 10 pounds heavier than before i was pregnant. At first, I lost about 5 pounds due to morning sickness. Its nice to finally gain some weight

youre suppose to gain ten punds by 20 weeks

im 16 weeks, expectin a lil girl =D ive gained 6 pounds so i think im doin swell

My doc told me to make sure I only gain 20-25 pounds. I am 16 weeks and have gained 9 pounds... this is my second. I read somewhere if you gain no more than 10 pounds by the time you hit 20 weeks you will be fine!

I'm 16 weeks and have gained 3 pounds.. I think this is healthy, and we will both probably gain a bit more soon. I think gaining little is healthier than gaining too much, especially at first :)

16 weeks today, gained only a couple pounds, my doctor wasn't impressed I hadn't gained anything at my 14wk appt but I had lost 75lbs in the year before getting pregnant and was still losing when I found out I was expecting again. He said as long as I was eating well that the baby should be fine. Heard the HB that day it was LOUD AND CLEAR, my dr was impressed at how strong it was. Felt the baby on Sunday, 5 kicks in a row...it was amazing. I didn't feel anything until I was 22wks with my first but this one's been so different and way more intense with everything, sickness, exhaustion...everything! My hips are already killing me!

Correction I've only gained two pounds..I've lost two pounds. :(

I was a little heavy to begin with, and really have only gained about 3 lbs, but I have been vomiting 2-3 times a week! I was hoping I'd be over it by now. With my 1st one I only was sick 3 times, and that was most likley food related. I am a little anxious about my weight, as DD was almost 10lbs.

Im 16 weeks with my second pregnancy. First pregnancy failed at 7 weeks. Ive lost 6 lbs and its hard for me to eat. I have no appetite and I cant wait till it comes back!

im 16 weeks too and have also not thrown up and also eat everything in site too and have only gained 3 lbs so im gonna go with yup it must be normal pending on the body everyones different

Is anyone peeing themselves?

I've gain alot of wait so far.

I have only gained 1 lb also and my midwife was fine with it. When I was preggers with my first I gained 70 lbs all together.

Shoot, im almost at 17 weeks and I've lost 18 lbs total

I have gained about 5 lbs and am in my 16th week. I have begun to gain about a 1/2 lb a week now.

im 16 weeks right now i feel the baby move every now n then.. still not sure what i will have..and i havent gained any weight

IM 16 WEEKS PREGO AND BARELY SHOWING.WELL AT LEAST I THOUGHT I WAS.LOL I GUESS PEOPLE THINK I HAVE DAT FULL LOOK.WEIRD CUZ ITS MY 3RD CHILD.IM 121 POUNDS AND HAVENT GAINED NOTHING BUT MAYBE 5 POUNDS.I THOUGHT I WOULD GAIN MORE SINCE I EAT SO MUCH.I EAT NOTHING BUT JUNK FOOD AND I HAVE TO HAVE SWEETS.SO IM WONDERING IF IM HAVING A GIRL?I HAD A TERRIBLE DREAM LAST NIGHT DAT DA DOC COULDNT TELL ME WHAT IM HAVING DURING MY NEXT APPT WHICH IS IN 2 WEEKS.I WANT TO KNOW ALREADY.AND I WANT TO FEEL THE BABY MOVE.THIS IS TORTURE FOR ME.

My first pregnancy I gained 17 pounds by the 15th week. This pregnancy I've only gained 8 at 15 weeks..

I have gained almost 10 lbs and I am 16 wks. I asked my doctor earlier this week if that was too much. She felt that was fine and w/in a good range. Everyone is different. They said it depends of your pre-pregnancy weight...

im 16 wels and i feling how kick is amazing

I'm at 16 weeks and I've talked with my doctor because I lost 8 pounds and haven't started to gain weight. He is not concerned yet...he states that it is normal. They monitor myweight at the office and will let me know when it starts to be an issue.

I am told in our first trimester we just fluxuate alot. I have only gained a pound. But im sure that will change soon. My main thing is energy. so my doctor told my to snack every two hours on crackers and such and that should help. So i know that the wieght is coming. hahaha it has helped tho alot.

Miss Dani Elle..I am also 16 weeks (today November 8th) and last month when I went to the doctor I actually lost a pound. I also eat everything and have not thrown up once either. My doctor said that it's perfectly fine :)

I'm also 16 wks, and I have not gained any weight. My OB says that it is completely normal.

I'm 16 weeks. At 8 weeks I weighed 115lbs. At 12 weeks I was down to 114. At my 16 week doc appointment last Friday I was back to 115. I've been eating healthy and eating small frequent meals throughout the day. So far, everything looks great so the doctor isn't concerned. This is my first so maybe with a second baby the weight will gain faster. I wouldn't worry though. If you are eating healthy and frequently and feel fine than you probably are!

i will be 16 weeks tomorrow, and i've lost 2 pounds in two weeks. i'm overweight so i'm not supposed to gain any. my next appointment is in two weeks so hopefully i can step it up... i'm eating healthier but now i have to exercise XD

I lost 6 lbs at my last visit, but have had tons of nausea esp with the migraines and all the weather changes. Food aversion sucks! but is getting better. This is my second time around and EVERYTHING is different. We already have a boy, it had better be a girl, but we'll live if it's not.

I'm 16 weeks and 5 days today and I go to the doctor tomorrow for a check up. Does anyone think that the doctor will send me for a sonogram? I havne't had one since I was 10 weeks and I'm hoping to find out the sex ASAP!

from what my midwife said usually you'll really start gaining weight near the end of the second trimester and throughout the third trimester. I am also 16 weeks and I've lost 3 lbs.

i started at 140 5'9" and im 154 now at 16 wks! my virst appt. i weighed in at 150 though since i didnt go in too early on. my doctor said that was perfectly normal because i was on the thin side to start with. at my second appt. i weighed 154 and she said im doing perfect so i think it depends on everybody! my older sister had a hard time gaing weight at first, her dr told her to put gravy on everything lol by the end of her pregnancy she gained exactly 35lbs. my best friend also gained 50 lbs during her pregnancy. she started out at 125lbs 5'6" and her dr gave her a hard time..but she lost it all in less than 5 months too!

I am 16 weeks today and have gained 5ish pounds which puts me at 126. I don't mind gaining as long as the baby is healthy. I just hope it is easy to work off once the baby is born. I'm proud of my little bump! < />

Does anyones nipples feel like they are on fire and you feel like crying.?

i was 100 lbs now i am 118.5! this is my first pregnancy! i think i am doing pretty good..ever since i started eating like a teenage boy!

im 16 weeks too and i loss 3 lb i feel bad but i eat a lot what can i do

im 16 weeks and one day today and my little boy still wont let me eat eggs or breakfast foods but i love to fill him move when i feed him something that he likes

mommahayleyrae: im just like you, super anxious! i just had my 16 week appointment and they had me schedule my ultrasound for 19 or 20 weeks... thats when you usually find out the sex but it just depends on the size and position of the baby

I'm 16 weeks and I'm just starting to gain the weight i lost from puking my brains out for the last few weeks. I lost about 10 pounds and now put on about 4 of those back. Doc does not seem worried at all. Now that I can keep food down most days i'm going to get back to some light exercising like walking and maybe prenatal yoga.

I am 16 weeks pregnant today and and lost a total of 20lbs. I am worried about the lost of my weight but my doctor doesn't seem to be worried at all. When I lay down on my back I have a cute little bump and I so enjoy just rubbing my baby!! :)

16 weeks and 9 pounds gained-not happy about that all, because I gained 15 before I got pregnant and before I realized I was expecting. I want to lose some of it, but apparently that is "frowned upon". Also, with the heart rate restrictions I can't go out and exercise hard to make up for eating too much. I gained 80 with my first pregnancy and it took me about 10 years to lose it. I am only trying to gain a maximum of 20, but with my sweet tooth and carb cravings in overdrive I don't see that happening.

I became 16 wks this past Thursday and I have only gained 1lb as well. Well, I had gained two but lost one. The doctor told me that I needed to eat more and have encouraged me to try to gain a pound a week for the rest of this pregnancy.

I'm 16 weeks today and when I went to the doctor, I had lost 5 more pounds since the last visit!! I couldn't believe it because thats somewhere around 25 lbs lost so far with this baby. With my 1st, I lost 20. But I am a plus size girl and alot of time we lose weight in the early stages which is cool wit me :D. Now if only I can lose when I'm not prego...LOL!!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant I did not make my appt yet to find out the sex of the baby yet because I decided to do something different this time around. I have two boys already and I found out the sex of them. My fiance feels though I'm being selfish in a way because he wants to know and I don't I would like to be a surprise somebody please tell me if I'm in the wrong should I find out or not?

Nope, you should be fine! I just had my check this week and I'm 16weeks and haven't gained a pound either. My Dr. said it's ok and that my appetite should pick up in the next few weeks and especially as the baby gets bigger :)

I am 16 weeks and have gained about 10 pounds. I am over the morning sickness but get really bad headaches. Anyone else have this problem?

I am 16 weeks and to me and my husband I am showing! Are we crazy? I meant I think people notice- is this too soon to be showing?

I'm 16 weeks, this is my first pregnancy...I have had no sickness, just high sensitivity to smells, and some fatigue during the first trimester. I have gained about 10-12 lbs, and am fine with that, but do know I need to watch my sweet tooth! I have one usually, but since I've been pregnant, it's just intensified! I am honestly surprised to hear people saying they've only gained a pound or two, or even lost weight! I guess it's hard to comprehend when I only seem to be getting bigger!

Yay 16 weeks today!

I HAVE BEEN LOSING WEIGHT SO UR 1LBS GAIN WOULD BE A PLUS TO ME...LOL

To Miss Dani Elle im 16 weeks too and i never got sick or throw up and i lost like 4 or 5 pounds my mom said its normal to lose weight in your early pregnancy but maybe in a couple weeks were gonna start gainning that weight

I am 16 weeks along and going for our scan on the 28th January...did anyone find out the sex of baby at 16 weeks? I really hope our angel will... we cant wait to find out :) :) pink or blue...pink or blue :) I love being pregnant. It is the most magical experience ever.

iam 16 wks! &barely showing!! im wondering if its because almost evrything ieat comes back up? since iwas 9wks ive lost 9 & 1/2 lbs.. is this normal??

Im 16wks pregnant and I feel better than before Im just gettiing over the flu bug virus I was so scared I though it was serious all the throwing up and pain in my upper belly but my baby was fine and I already had the flu shot month b4 I got pregnant!!!Anyway is anyone showing yet Im on the heavy side and not showing yet but Im glad im not showing yet and hope I dont gain weight until the end if so!!!lol

I haven't gained any weight...I lost weight but I been eating everything too :-)

That's so exciting that the baby and officially hear us talk to her/him now! I have 'popped' out of nowhere in the past 2 days and I love my bump.

It all depends how much you weighed before. I was a little overweight before getting pregnant and my doc told me it would be ok if I didn't gain ay weight. I've only gained 4 pounds so far and he says its great. :)

i have lost a total of 12 lbs and only gained one back. my doc says its normal..

Miss Dani Elle I am the same way!!

Yay! An avocado! I've gained eight pounds, can't complain... :)

I'm up to 130 from 115 at 16 wks. I guess some people just add on the pounds faster than others.

I've been feeling baby move for a while now, even when I thought it was too small to do so. It's a beautiful feeling

I haven't really gained anything either. Last month they said i gained a pound and a half but this month at my OB appointment it was gone. The doctor isn't worried about it so I am trying not to be. I have been sick but not as bad as my sister and best friend were so I am just going to do what I have been. I figure I will only worry when the doctor does.

I NEED ADVICE.. I WENT AND GOT A SONOGRAM AT 16 WKS AND THE BABY MEASURED ALMOST 6 INCHES...IS THAT NORMAL? MY DAUGHTER LAST PREGNANCY WAS ONLY 4 INCHES AT 20 WKS....

Ill be 16 weeks on tuesday Ive ganined about 5 lbs since nov. The doc said that everyones different . I dont know if ive felt the baby or not what does it feel like I wasnt for sure if its gas or not haha.

I am 16 weeks this i my first pregnancy but ive gained about 12 pounds and didnt get sick so consider yourself pretty lucky. my sister got sick every day through out her entire first pregnancy.

i'm 16 weeks and I've gained probably 5 lbs. this is my second baby and i feel like my belly is already so much bigger!

I'm at the end of my 16 weeks and am inching up the scale towards 160lbs. I started at 145 and that was because I worked out really hard and ate a lot less RIGHT BEFORE I got pregnant to lose 10 lbs. Go figure I'd get knocked up right after! My OB is on my case about weight gain but she's a skinny OC housewife type...I don't think she knows what it is to be HUNGRY!!!

I lost 2 lbs. Dr said your metabolism speeds up during pregnancy so its normal to loose weight!

I'm 16 weeks and I've only gained a few punds as well. I was worried and asked the doctor if that is normal. she said she is not concerned. So, ladies don't worry. If something is bothering you, then you should ask your doctor.

Ive lost a total of 23 lbs since I got prego. My doc says he is concerned because I am still getting sick too. He wants to take a look at my gallbladder next week. Has anyone had this happen before?

I'm 16 weeks and I lost 10lbs already so who knows

Im 16 Weeks and have gained around 7-8 lbs. Is this too much? I hope to keep from gaining no more than 30 lbs for the whole pregnancy but feel at this rate that might not happen.

I meant months. And I too have had terrible headaches. Dr. says it may be mild dehydration & to drink lots of water...which doesn't sit well most the time either!

im 17 week and i have lost weight so your lucky youve gained one

I have gained 20 pounds and only 16 weeks with twins.I gained so much with my first as well.Im a high risk pregnancy also,my doctor is not concerned as she said my BMI is still good.

I just looked back at what I weighed when I found out I was preggo: I was at 203 (I'm 5'8" and was a size 16/18), and I'm down to 176. 27 lbs?? My doctor didn't seem too concerned; luckily I only lost 2 lbs between my 12-week and 15-week appointments, most of my weight loss was between weeks 8 and 12 when I felt the worst! Doc said that since I was overweight to begin with, it was okay to shed some - as long as I am careful not to gain too much during the second trimester, which he said was the hardest weight to lose after baby comes along. Only problem is now, none of my pants fit me!

I am 5'8". I started at 150 and after my first trimester, lost 6 pounds. I am 16 weeks and at 146. So I've gained two pounds. So I am pretty happy with the way I am eating mantaining my weight.

I am 16 weeks and so far have lost 13 pounds. I wasn't heavy when I started, and I was sick, but now I can eat normally. Is this healthy?

I am also 16 weeks and have gained only 2lbs. I believe everyone is different and carries their children different so I wouldn't worry. Eat healthy and exercise and you should be fine.

I am 16 weeks today and have lost 20 lbs since I've been pregnant. But, I never really lost the baby weight from having my son. I gained 60 lbs with him. But, I am determined to maitain a healthier weight with this one. My OB said that becuase I never lost the baby weight from before, it is normal for me to only gain 25-30 lbs at the most by the end of my pregnancy.

Before pregnancy I weighed 122 and now I weigh 135 and my doctor is still complaining I havent gained enough weight.. I'm only 16 weeks!

I'm the same. I weighed in at 133 at 8 wks and now I'm 134 at 16 wks. Dr doesn't seem concerned. I do have huge bump. but that's it.

I'm 16 weeks today and I'm up around 3.4lbs. I didn't have any morning sickness, my Doctor just wanted to make sure I was eating, eating healthy, and getting some walks/workouts in to keep my energy level up. Yes, as long as your eating healthy (as weel as you can) and eating when you're hungry... don't worry. You'll get bigger later. I'm also craving TONS of sweets. I think my Hubby needs to start going grocery shopping instead of me.

Hey Ladies! Congrats to everyone on your baby bumps!! I am currently 16w 3d with our first. I have too only gained 1 lb. My doctor said it was totally normal. I also wanted to ask if there are any ladies out there who have the blood disease MTHFR. I have it and of course am freaking out about birth defects. Let me know if anyone is in the same boat. Thanks ladies!

I've gained about 7 lbs so far and I'm so NOT concerned. We are pregnant...we're going to gain weight. With my daughter, I gained 40 lbs, and lost 70 afterwards. I rarely look at the scale, because it really doesn't matter.

I'm 16 wks and I have lost 10 lbs+ so far, however I'm a all day sick wreck and my appetite is shot to heck. I was 230 at 4 weeks along, down to 220 last week. This is baby #3 and I am dieing to feel kicking and know what were expecting. One boy one girl the house its a 50-50 battle for the baby!

i am 16 weeks and i have lost a total of 16lbs this pregancey so far. 1st child i lost a total of 25 lbs.

i was worried about the same thing but my doc. said not to be too concerned as some women dont gain their weight till a little further along....

I am 16 weeks, I lost 10 and have only gained 3 back as of my appointment today. No one seems worried and I have been eating like crazy the last 2 weeks.

Miss Dani Elle : I haven't gained too much either (1.5lb so far) and the doctor said the baby is growing just fine.

I am 16 weeks and am still down 5 pounds from my prebaby weight. My doctor was a little concerned. I have been eating a ton. However, I have been working out and also making healthier food choices. Next appointment is 4/18/11 so we will see what he says then.

I have gained 9 lbs in 4 weeks! I don' t think that is the greatest! I think I need to start with some healthier eating habits!!! We get to find out tomorrow if baby is a boy or girl, then we are having our revealing of the sex party on Friday! Can't wait to tell our family!

I am 16 weeks 4 days with my first baby my prepregnancy weight was 165lbs i lost 5lbs after becoming pregnant i havent lost anymore but im not gaining, Everything seems fine i have already started to feel movement.

Miss Dani, totally normal. my 1st pregnancy I lost 17 lbs up until i was 17 weeks, then I started gaining weight and only got sick once. I am 16 weeks with #2 and I am currently -1lb! Don't rush the weight gain, trust me.. it will happen!!! :)

I am 16weeks and 2 days , I have gained nothing so far my doctor said I shouldnt be too worried due to the fact I am a plus size girl

I have had constant headaches and been dizzy for about 3 weeks now and ill be 17 weeks tomorrow. Im going crazy trying to keep my headaches to where i dont get sick. IDK what im doing wrong but there has to be something.

I am 16 weeks and I am now weighing 126, I weighed 115 pounds before...whoo, and I now feel this lil stinker moving.....so cute, Im in love.

ive gained almost 10 lbs and its kinda freaking me out because everyone keeps telling me i dont look pregnant. i know they mean well but theyre right - i dont look pregnant, i look fat! well, at least it looks like all the weight ive gained is chub, not baby :(

I don't think its to odd to barely gain anything because my doctor didn't seem to worried that I have actually lost 15 pounds since I've been pregnant and I'm only 16 weeks. One of my friends had a baby and she weighed less at delivery than she did when she got pregnant.

Well, ive been diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum and im 16 weeks 5 days and have lost 40 lbs :-( The baby is healthy however I now have a Picc line inserted and get fluids at the outpatient center 3x a week. My starting weight was 187 im now 145

I am 16 weeks today, lost 11 pds. Wt 184 before pregnancy and now wt 173. Dr said its ok to be losing wt, since i eat like 6 small meals a day and snack on fruit a lot. Its hard to find anything to eat bc everything is just gross to me... LOL... Why cant i be like this when i am not pregnant!!! haha... Enjoying our first little bundle of joy.. Truly a MIRACLE for us, as we have lost 3 angels....

It feels good to hear that other people are in the same boat as me when it comes to the weight gain. I was a little worried.

i weighed 109 and now i way 115 and im at 16 weeks today.

i weighed 109 and now i way 115 and im at 16 weeks today.

i weighed 109 and now i way 115 and im at 16 weeks today.

i weighed 109 and now i way 115 and im at 16 weeks today.

i weighed 109 and now i way 115 and im at 16 weeks today.

@Miss Dani Elle: I lost 15 pounds in the first 12 weeks, and now, I haven't lost or gained. My baby is fine, as is my health. Don't worry :)

I gained 70 lbs with my daughter and boy, did I regret every minute of it during those last few months! I learned my lesson and actually haven't gained any weight yet with baby #2. Whatever you do, don't eat everything in sight just b/c your prego. Your last few months will be terrible!!!

I have only gained 2 pounds and my doctor was saying that was a great amount. I think it depends on your body type what is too little and too much to gain.

Im 16 weeks and i have lost 21 lbs since before i got pregnant. Morning sickness was an issue but not the throwing up part of it. My dr's not concerned so either am I.

I don't think anyone should feel bad about gaining weight during pregnancy. YOU'RE PREGNANT. As long as you're eating the best you can and are staying active I don't think gaining weight is terrible. I'm 16 weeks and I've gained about 15 lbs. Yeah...that's a lot....but considering I didn't get sick AT ALL during the first trimester, I think it explains a lot. A friend of mine is 10 weeks pregnant and she's lost a lot of weight because she's been so sick. So I think that everyone is different, and as long as you feel good...then I'm sure your baby does too. Always talk to your doctor. He'll let you know what you need to do to work on it.

My morning sickness has been awful. I am down 8lbs at 16wks but my doctor didn't want me to gain weight anyway. Hoping this part passes soon!!

i am 16 weeks and the first time i got sick was just the other day when i was cooking sunny side up eggs. not i can not stand them.

is it too early to tell the sex of the baby?? i have read in this forum that some women found out the sex of their baby in less that 20 weeks, i am 17 weeks and having an ultrasound tomorrow. i'm curious if i can find out already?

16 weeks and i'm still at my pre pregnancy weight of 135. i've been sick as a dog too on top of that.

In response to: I am 16 weeks and I have a terrible pain where my ovaries are on my left side! What does this mean? And it's nothing like having cramps with your period. Should I be alarmed? *** I was having this same pain last week and saw my doctor. She said it was probably the round ligament stretching. Can also be related to your bowels, so you might want to ask your doctor to check you.

I have put on 15lbs... was even on weight watchers before I found out I was pregnant. I couldn't stand to look at salads until a week ago and stopped eating foods with sweeteners. Also, my boobs are gigantic so I wonder if they are half the weight! I exercise at least 5-6 days a week, too. I will just have to keep watch.

im 16 wks with my first and my stomach has been feeling bloated. And when i eat somthing it ache is that normal? Maybe its gas or constipation i dont know!

Pre-pregnancy, i weighed 110 at 5'4. I am 16 weeks today and not a clue what I weigh. Surprisingly, i have not obsessed over my weight and am just letting it happen. All of my weight gain has been in the stomach fortunately. My waist has expanded and I noticed a pop at 14 weeks. Now I feel like my belly is growing every day:-)

im 16 weeks too only gained 4 lbs im not sick anymore but i was in the beginning

I am also 16 weeks and have gained only 1 pound. You are not really supposed to gain weight until 2nd trimester. Im sure you're doing great!

I am 16 weeks and have only been losing weight! :-( I have an appointment tomorrow so hopefully I gained some. I've been violently ill, they put me on zofran for sickness but still not much weight gain. But I do have my baby bump!

Between my first appointment and 2nd appointment I lost 2 lbs. Next week I go in for the 3rd appointment and will be at 16 weeks. I am interested to see if it jumped a huge amount. Dr said it was fine to have lost some weight. just meant I am eating better, exercising more, and that baby is fine. If I continue to loose weight then it will be an issue but I dont feel like I am loosing any so it will be interesting to see.

WOW SO FAR PREGNAT WOMEN I KNOW GAIN WEIGHT WHILE PREGNAT BUT ME IM LOOSING WEIGHT EVERYTIME I GO TO THE DOCTOR SO HE SAYS ITS GOOD BUT MY HUBBY MAKES ME DRINK MILK N ALL THAT HEALTHY STUFF FOR THE BBY..

TIP: FOR PREGNAT WOMEN WHO HAVE HEARTBURN AT NIGHT KEEP SOME TUMS NEAR BY U INCASE U GET THEM AT ANYTIME =)

So with my first I had a placenta abruption and needed an emergency c-section. I would love to try v-back this time but heard a horrible story about mom ending up with a hysterectomy and even worse losing the baby. Anyone have a positive experience with a similar situation?

im 16 weeks...My feet are as big as a house!!! i thought it was to early for my feet to swell but my doc said aslong as my blood pressure is normal he's not worried..everybody shows signs at different times...anybody else with swelling feet?

I'm 16 weeks and I have gained 5 pounds since I got pregnant. However I gained 10-15 pound since my wedding last year. I am so scared to gain weight my whole family is over weight and now I am considered overweight from gaining the last 5 pounds being pregnant. I don't know what to do. I just don't want to gain to much weight but I know I need to eat and gain weight for the baby. I'm just scared. Is this normal??

I'm 16 weeks and have lost 8 lbs. My doctor said it was normal and that depending on how much you weighed before the pregnancy. It's not always a good thing to gain weight. My doctor told me I should gain little to no weight for a healthy pregnancy. My baby is really helping that out by not letting me even look at meat of chochlate with out feeling queezy. Given up soda, meat, and chocholate hasn't made me happy, but it's made me healthier.

I WILL BE 16 WEEKS TOMMORROW AND I HAVE LOST 33 PDS THIS IS MY FIRST BABY MY OB IS NOT WORRIED AT ALL I EAT REALLY HEALTHY I HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U EAT WHAT U WANT ALL MY SISTERS HAVE KIDS AND IT LOOKED REALLY PAINFULL GOOD LUCK TO ALL U MOMMYS!!!!!!!!

I lost about 12 lbs. in the first trimester of my first pregnancy, and this one. i am 16 weeks now, and have just begun to level out my weight. I haven't really gained anything back yet, but i am eating regularly again. i'm sure ill start seeing some weight gain in the next month. every womans body and every pregnancy is different. i wouldn't worry, as long as you are eating healthy. its just like how some people dont show much, while others look very pregnant.

This is my second pregnancy, my first I didn't have back aches or occassional pain until my belly was bigger. I have a little belly right now and my lower back is already starting to hurt. Its very low (sometimes all the way down to my tailbone) and typically hurts more when I stand for long periods of time, right before I go to the bathroom, lay or sit on hard surfaces or occassionally it will just ache for no apparent reason. Its not horrible but man Im worried its going to get worse. Has anyone else experienced this, this early? My doctor said to do stengthening excersizes but they don't seem to help.

I am 16 weeks and haven't gained a pound! I have not been sick thank god but boy have the "growing pains" kicked in!!! They r so painful and no ever mentioned these before...I was barely walking.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and i stil nausate a bit. Is it normal

i'm 16 wks and have only gained 3lb.s...is this ur 2nd pregnancy? i find that with the 2nd pregnancy u gain weight slower

I am 16w3d and have lost 7lbs in one week last week. There is no way this is healthy regardless of being pregnant, but because of the stress I've had, I hadn't been able to eat. Things are a little better now so I have started eating normally again, thankfully. I am just really hoping my baby's okay... I don't have my next dr.'s visit for another 2 weeks. I can't stop worrying...

I LOVE YOU BABY :)

im 15 weeks and have lost 8 pounds. Not puking up anything substantial. Mostly dry heaves. My Dr. says its normal.

I've gained more wieght with my 2nd baby, now, then I did with my first son. I do not remember even having a belly at this point and my doctor said that it was normal every pregnancy is different I've gained about 10lbs already!

I am pregnent with my second child. I went to my 16 week appt yesterday and the doctor could see the baby kicking thru my abs! She said we have a super strong baby :-) I have lost 12lbs and was told that I need to start gaining about 1lb per week for the remainder of the pregnancy.

I will be 16 weeks tomorrow, so far I have gained 4 lbs, still trying to stay active but craving sweets, trying to keep that in check. So far I am happy with the amount of weight gain.

Just had our 16wk appt today and I haven't gained any weight, I've actually lost weight. I think since my first way in back in March I've lost between 6-8lbs. My midwife doesn't see anything wrong with it, she said if she thought it was a problem she would tell me. We go for our ultrasound in two weeks, they are double checking them that everything is ok. Has this happened to anyone else?

I had this exact same question! I'm 5'6 and weigh 140 normally. Here's the deal according to my nutritionist. First, I needed to lose about 5 pounds to begin with. Meaning calorically my intake was already higher than it should be, mainly because I like wine. Once I found out I was pregs no more wine calories but they were offset by my new obsession for food. Also it depends on your bmi before your get pregnant. I didn't gain a pound and thought it was great ( even though my body was shifting). Then came week 16. 2 lbs. Point being, it will come.

I'm 16 weeks and 4 days, pre-pregnancy I was only 101lb at 12 weeks I had gained 8lb and now 16 weeks gained 15lb!! my OB seems happy but evan though I was small to begin with I realy think I should cut back on thse midnight snacks lol

I lost 5 pounds, and now at 16 weeks I've gained 3 back. I started at 222 at 5'3 and now I'm at 220. I was told to only gain about 10 to 15 pounds...at this rate it seems like it shouldn't be a problem, but it's stressing me out to have such a small amount allowed. I obviously don't want to gain more than that, but it seems hard to believe that I'll only gain ten pounds!! Good luck to all of you and may you all have healthy babies who won't have to worry about their weight for a long long time!!

I went to my check-up yesterday, I was 16 weeks and 4 days, and everything went great!! My lil one is quite the active one, tech had a hard time keeping the heart beat because it was moving to much. Finally got him/her to be still and the heart rate was 168. Next visit get to find out what I'm having!!!! Can't wait :)

I found out today I am having a little boy Imy husband and I are so excited!!

I am 16 weeks and have recently been dealing with horrible acne on my face, hairline, behind my ears, back and chest. They don't look like regular zits or acne that I have ever had. They feel more like cysts than a nomal zit. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have never experienced acne with my other two pregnancies. I am also beginning to feel like my skin is itching all the time. It is driving me crazy!!!! Is this normal?

I think you're totally fine! I've only gained 3lbs because I've been feeling so yucky... I'm sure our lack in weight gain will catch up to us :)

im 16wks and i started out at 137 and now im 157 an counting with this baby im gaining weight alot faster than i did with my first two, before i had my first sonogram we thought there was two cause im so big but theres only one. my problem is that im not feeling movement yet and that freaking me out cause with my second i felt her move at 15wks maybe i ask the doctor next wk when i go back

I gained 13 pounds so far and I thought that was alot!! I guess everyones body is different. My friends have gained 70-75 lbs during the pregnancy but it may not be you. It can be just the body and the water intake. So dont be scared! My cousin also only gained 12 pounds during her WHOLE pregnancy and everything was prefectly fine

This week I feel bigger than usual and a little terrified to find out what I am going to look like in the end of this journey. Of course, what's important is the baby. I start going to prenatal yoga classes next week, I hope this will help my mind and body to feel better through this process.

Ii am 15 weeks and 3 days and i started out at 260 and have lost more than for pounds in that time....and im still losing is that a bad thing considering i was over weight to start with

I've only gained a pound at 16 weeks too and yes it is normal, don't worry well gain what ever we need to, there are still 5 months to catch up!!!

first baby movements last night! I am 16 wks 4 days! We both felt it at the same time because my sweetie had his hand on my belly as we were falling asleep! kinda felt like bubbles. Only gained 3 pounds so far and I feel great except for the occasional headache.

I am 16 weeks and still getting sick. I went from throwing up about every day in the fist trimester, to about once a week now. Will it end! YIKES. Ive lost 8 pounds and have glucose test tomorrow. Im dreading drinking that stuff...If I get sickj, they say I have to start all over again. Is this true?

i to am sixteen weeks in and feel great ,i started at 130 lost 10 pounds and now im at 133 but i still feel small put super bloated my stomach shows just enough,i cant wait to feel some real movement in there i wish we had more dr visits i love seeing it move around on the screen

I use to be 110 and am now 123 in 16 weeks. I was very thin before and was a gogo dancer..doing about 6 hours of cardio a week and eating small meals. I hope I am ok too!

16 week and i weigh 110 gained no pounds

I'm 16 weeks, before I got pregnant I weighed 160. Now I'm down to 139. I just now starting to show this past week... I can't wait until Jan 29th.

I am the same way.... but I actually went from 135 to 126 in my first trimester and then now at 16 weeks weigh 127. They said not to worry about it yet!

Your weight gain/loss varies depending upon your pre-pregnancy BMI (body mass index = weight/height) .... But I'm 16 weeks, 3 days today with my first & in my 1st trimester I gained 14lbs but I've lost about 5 and have maintained the same weight of 134 for about 4 weeks now.

Love my little avacado! :)

I gained 7 pounds my doc just said eat heathier. But all I want is junk..

Now 16 weeks and I've lost 13 lbs, still waiting to gain something...

I am 16 weeks and during my first trimester I lost 10lbs just from eating smaller meals and drinking more water than I have ever in my entire life. At my my last ob appt I had gained back 3 of the 10lbs. Will be curious to see if I gained or stayed the same weight. Will know next week when I go for my other ob appt.

Is it normal if I still can't feel my babies I'm 16 weeks with twins?? :( I'm worried!

Dani, I lost 3 pounds from morning sickness, but gained 2 when I started feeling better. So, technically, I only weigh an extra pound. My doctor isn't worried.

Im 16 weeks and Ive lost 10 lbs so far from morning sickness. Baby heartbeat is nice and strong at 150 so doctor is not worried but she says I really don't need to lose anymore weight :-( I have a doctor's appointment today so we shall see, Wish me luck!!!

16 weeks now, with my first. How come noone ever talks about how much it hurts when your uterus starts stretching?

I've noticed I'm getting full faster and with less food than I did before I was pregnant. I just had a Wendy's hamburger for lunch and I couldn't finish it - that was never a problem before. Anyone else?

ive only gained 2 lbs so i think your are good. my doct said i am on track.

I am a bigger girl and have been losing weight. I am almost 16 weeks and lost 10 pounds. My doctor says as long as the baby is growing you will be fine.

@ Miss Dani Elle....Im 16 weeks and I have for sure been eating more but i have not gained any weight. However my shape has changed so i feel like i have gained weight! Its normal. Everyone gains weight at a different rate. the baby will take the calories it needs!

I don't know how much weight I've gained... but I'm definitely showing. And still puking.

I am 5'8'' and was 129 for the first 3 months, but now at 16wks I am 134. My doc said most healthy women won't gain any weight in the first 3 months, and that they should only gain up to 5lbs each month after.

Im 16 weeks today and feel great, my Midwife is the best, doing haptonomy every night and excited ti feel baby moving soon.

I'm 16 weeks & still feeling tired. Is that normal? I also haven't gained & my boobs are still the same size

16 weekes today. I totallly have a baby bump, and people rub it all the time. I've gained 8 lbs so far, and LUV being prego. Can't wait to feel baby move and find out the sex.

I am having triplets and have gained 15 lbs. But with my first baby you couldn't tell I was pregnant until 6 mos. Every pregnancy is different (of course for me this is the most different one by far.)

Ms. Dani Elle- Not that I know you're exact situation... But I just was at the OB this morning for my 16 week checkup and I've actually lost 3 lbs since my last visit. She said nothing to be too concerned with... If obviously I keep losing... Then there may be. I've had a cold, so that may be part of it... But also that little bundle of joy is sharing all of our nutrients... So maybe that's why? I suppose your metabolism has something to do with it too? :) good luck on your pregnancy!! Mine has been so fun and exciting so far! (and I'm with you no morning sickness, thank the Lord!) :)
