[quote=Anonymous]Please don't feel bad, OP. I am pregnant with my third and naturally very thin. I have already gained ten pounds by 14 weeks and even though I'm taken aback by how much I have gained (!) I keep reminding myself that this has happened to me in every pregnancy. Overall, I gained 30 pounds with my first and 27 with my second. The weight gain really evened out for me during the second and third trimesters. It's scary gaining more than double the recommended amount in the first trimester (which is what always happens to me), but I swear that in my experience just trying to eat healthy for the remainder of the pregnancy resulted in my gaining a healthy amount of weight. I do not know how some people don't gain weight until they are 20 weeks, but I don't think it's particularly healthy to compare yourself to those people since they are on a different path than you when it comes to pregnancy weight gain -- and they may end up gaining 25 or 30 pounds in the last 20 weeks, which definitely doesn't sound that healthy. I'm saying this as someone in the same place as you, I really wouldn't focus on trying to lose weight right now because unless you really diet (which is not good for the baby or probably for you psychologically) you will probably not lose weight and that will only make you feel worse about yourself -- and you may even eat more if you feel bad about yourself. Just focus on eating as healthy as possible and try to drink water and get as much exercise as you can. [/quote]
