I lost weight up until like 17 weeks. Gained some of it back and then a couple pounds more around 20-24 weeks and that's it. I'm eating normally (or as normally as I can) and the weight gain isn't really happening. My fundal height is good so my doctor isn't worried about it. (I should mention that this is my first pregnancy and I'm 30 weeks now. Up about 11 lbs total).

@BabyBoecksMom: I'll admit I wasn't a small person to begin with, though. That probably has a bit more to do with it.

@BabyBoecksMom: I lost 10 Lbs in first trimester cause I just felt too crappy to eat much. I brought it up with my doctor around 16w when I was feeling better and she said not to worry. Sure enough the 10 lbs quickly came back......and another 35! I'm glad I lost the 10 to start!

I gained weight in the first and second trimesters and lost weight in the third trimester.

With both my pregnancies I gain a decent amount the first trimester and then around mid 2nd trimester I have several months where I don't gain anything. I guess people just have different patterns.

@BabyBoecksMom: YES- I lost weight in my 3rd trimester day because my doctor noticed I had again 11lbs in 4 weeks and told me I needed to quick doing whatever I was doing (pigging out & sitting in my booty). I was 34 weeks at the time, so I started walking everyday (nearly 4miles a day) and I didn't gain a single pound from 34w-40w+3 (when I gave birth). My son was 7.8 lbs so, he was healthy & I managed to keep it all at 30lbs gain.

I wouldn't eat more!
