I am reading all over the internet that most women gain some weight by now but i havent! I got pregnant at 130lbs and i am currently 128-130 every morning. I have a fetal doppler and i cant find his heartbeat yet and now im scared i have not gained weight and i cant find his heartbeat that something is wrong : ( is it possible for him to stop developing and I wouldnt notice or would i miscarry right away??
Ive been to the doctor 3 times so far and everything looks good

I did not gain any weight my first four months. I started gaining at around 20 weeks. My doctor said it was totally normal and not to worry, my first four months I actually lost about 5 pounds and the doctor said it was normal. Don’t worry your baby will not stop developing, If you are worried about the heartbeat just go into your doctors office and hear it, using a doppler does not always work.
Good Luck
i didnt gain any weight till about six months and the nurse told me that it was just bcuz i am young and it was my first pregnancy but that the baby was still growing and was just fine
You should be able to hear the heart beat through a doppler now. I went the doctor at 15 weeks and they used one to hear my babies heart beat… Have you been to a doctor yet? You should have gone by now. They have different ways to look for the heart beat.
Not gaining weight has nothing to do with it, though. I’m 17 weeks and have only gained 2-4 lbs, it fluctuates. A lot of people don’t gain weight by 25 weeks and more.
EDIT: Oh, and yes it is possible for him to stop growing and for you not to bleed. It’s called a missed miscarriage, though it is pretty rare… If you are THAT worried, go to the emergency room and tell them you think something is wrong. They will probably give you an ultrasound and let you know.
Many women don’t start gaining weight or showing until 5 or 6 months along. Also, it can be very hard to find your baby’s heartbeat with a home doppler device, especially at only 15 weeks.
I’m sure everything is just fine, but if you are concerned, call your Dr.
Good Luck to you and baby.
I’m sure you’re fine. The doplar might not be a quality doplar or you might not be looking in the right spot. don’t be upset that you haven’t gained weight. I wish I hadn’t
I’m 19 weeks and gained like 10 already!
I didn’t gain weight till my 5th or 6th month and I didn’t gian it to the point that you could tell I was pregnant till my 7th month.
It is normal for many women not to gain weight at this point. Home dopplers suck!! If you haven’t seen a doc yet then you need to!!
It will catch up to you. I am 17 weeks and have only gained 6 lbs. I only gained 2 lbs the first trimester.
CALL UR DOC HE WILL PUT UR MIND AT REST….GOOD LUCK SWEETTY
I didnt gain any weight till recent and im now 22 weeks. I actually lost weight when I got pregnant for some reason..but I ate so much. Now my body is finally starting to change.
At 15 weeks it was even hard for my midwife to find my babies heart beat with a fetal doppler. As for weight gain I was the same way. I am now 6 months so putting on the pounds as I should be.
Dont worry I am the same way I am 15 weeks and havent gained but 2 pounds. Sometimes I wonder if I gained that before I got pregnant along with my belly. I had some fat before so I play mind games wioth myself. I am worried about the same thing on why I have not gained weight or showing since I can fit all my jeans just shirts are tight. I would call doctors and be patient nothing you can do to prevent anything and I have even had a mis carriage earlier this year so its hard and I worry daily. Just have docotrs check for heart beat and you are almost close enought to where you can find out what your having where you can also see the heart and see everythings fine. I know patience sucks but all we can do.
