Underweight pregnancies
Hi,
So I've always been underweight. My BMI is normally around 13.5, I'm currently pregnant and it has raised to 15 (I'm 9 weeks) so I've put some weight on already. I have had one baby already (14 months ago), but my weight increased quite rapidly in that pregnancy so I was at a healthy weight by the end of the first trimester (I'm currently 12 kilos less than what is considered a healthy weight). I eat really well, and my body weight is largely genetic (my mum's family are all thin). I've had a private scan already and baby is exactly as would be expected at this stage of pregnancy. I just really worry that I'm not gaining weight as quickly as I did in my first pregnancy, and it makes me worry for the baby. Does anyone have any first hand experience of gaining little weight in pregnancy despite being thin??
