Is this normal?

I am 14 w 5d and I still have not gained any weight and have minimal appetite. I am able to have snacks or small meals, so I’m not losing weight, but I am worried that I haven’t started gaining weight yet. I have so much anxiety all the time about what if my baby isn’t developing right or isn’t alright and I just don’t know it yet?

Yeah this happened to me. I didn’t really start gaining until the way end of my second trimester. It could be a mixture of things so I would just express your concerns to your OBGYN next time you have the chance. But don’t worry about it too much, it will just have your mind running a muck & that’s not fair to you. If I were you, in the meantime I would just make sure you’re getting as much protein & water as you can to ensure baby is growing properly. Hoping for the best!💕

For me, i actually lost a lot of weight during my first trimester cause I couldn’t really eat much. I didn’t start gaining weight until the second trimester and by the time baby came, i gained about 25-30 pounds but that was also water weight too

I lost weight in the beginning due to nausea but I ended up gaining in the end. Your dr will track everything and they can proscribe you some ani-nausea meds if you need them.
