Hi, I posted before during my week 1 - week 16 that I can't keep liquid down, has acid reflux and lactose intolerance. I had to eat smaller portion and avoid milk since then. Threw up most of the zincofer I ate.

By Week 18 I have started to eat normally and having multivitamins and calcium. Now I am week 22 (mid of second trimester) already but my weight is still crawling up so slowly. I am supposed to gain 500g weekly, no? Have already try my best to eat more and healthier food (brown rice, beef, vege and 3 portions of fruits every day). Snacks in between like plain cracker and nuts. I still can't handle milk very well.

Pre pregnancy weight = 56-57kg
First trimester = 54 (dropped due to morning sickness)
Week 18 = 55
Now = 57kg

Which means I am about the same weight before I am pregnant. Also the weight fluctuates, sometimes 56.5 in the afternoon then 57 at night?

How should I gain weight?? Baby length measurement is close on dot although baby bump very small. But I can't shake this worry about baby not having enough or born underweight.

Ada kena marah dengan nurse nanti...

At KKIA second visit, already kena. But I didn't go there anymore and she also didn't say need to check anything else. Just ask me to drink more soup?

Do not worry too much. I also experienced weight loss during my first trimesters due to excessive throw up. It prolonged up until middle of 2nd trimester then throwing up subdued. What's more important is the development of the baby. If length measurement indicated correct weeks it was supposed to, then you are good.

Thanks. When do you start gaining weight? And how much did you gain for overall?

I counted my weeks and I am left with 5 weeks and will enter third trimester soon. So if baby length is quite close with weeks, he should be well?

I remembered start gaining weight entering third semester. That is when the weight gain kicked in. I am embarrassed to say, but i gained good 'ol 20 kg overall from just mere 1-2kg at first trimester. So no worries, just hang in there.

As per baby length, yes if scan showed close to weeks, it should be fine.

Thanks for sharing and reassuring me about weight gain will come later.

3rd trimester baby gain weight faster. That is what doc said, btw drink more milk.

1. worry too much.
2. and no.......500g per week is not right....

No milk. I get diarrhea from them.

Drink avocado smoothies or goat milk is good for lactose intolerance

know the gender of the baby already?

Yup.

u should keep quiet and let people guess the gender.
many people say the bump looks like this is boy.
or look like this is girl.

if u want to makeup means girl or u dont like to makeup its boy etc.

and its funny because u know the gender and they are wrong about it.

of coz this guessing game is correct 50% of the time. so thats quite a high percentage.
but its also 50% wrong.

haha

The left or right inclined bump theory is quite accurate for me.
I keep telling people, baby's moving too fast or crossing the legs (which is true), so cannot see.

like i say, 50% of the time people get it correct. because its 50-50. either boy or girl.
but u cant believe that its true.

if there are 10 outcomes, and by reading the signs, u can guess correctly, meaning 10% chance of guessing correctly.
If still can get the right guess, then i believe the signs.

oh, I'm entering 19 months now.

since I got pregnant, my weight increase dramatically due to increase appetite. my bra doesn't fits anymore as well as my pants 😭

I think you meant 19 weeks.

Here's the thing. All my friends gain weight at about your time. Pants and bra definitely won't fit because belly is stretching to make space for baby and also getting ready to produce milk. How dramatic is your weight gain? Have you taken glucose test?

Even with these stretching, my weight is still the same even though I am 3 weeks ahead of you. But I guess as previous posters mentioned, I can only wait till third trimester and see. Will be seeing doctor this week soon and want to ask for her for reassurance.

My weight and belly size different so much between hours in the same day. I just weighted myself and it's 56.2, but I was 57.2 yesterday night!
