weight gain.
So, due to many "stressors" in my life prior to getting pregnant, I had started out a little underweight, with a low bmi. With Jack they wanted to me to gain "at least" 25 lbs, I gained 16 lbs, granted I had him at 36 weeks, so I'm sure I would have gained a few more lbs. This time around they wanted me to gain 30-35 lbs due to starting out underweight. I know I gained a few lbs in the beginning before I started getting sick. My last appointment I had gained about about 1/2 lb in 2 weeks. Dr. H said that he'd like to see me gaining more at this point, but it was better than losing or not gaining at all. I'm really hoping I have gained some more weight by my next OB appointment in 2 weeks because my appetite is coming back and nausea is going away! Also hoping I've gained more because Falcon (yes we are referring to him as Falcon because Jeff wants to name him that...I said no, but we can't agree, so I just stopped talking about it! Plus we probably aren't telling names this time again anyways), should have doubled in his size from week 16 to week 20. Oh and I'm feeling him move and kick a lot more! Last week was a ton at night! Then the last 4 days have been very minimal...thank goodness for my doppler for reassurance!

fx for a little weight gain! i wouldn't worry too much about it, it's not like you aren't eating. i really just think your body just doesn't like gaining weight...a blessing when you're not pg! your little guy is healthy and he's getting the nutrients that he needs!
