I didn't gain weight at all until 20 weeks, then went up 10 pounds, relapsed at 28 weeks and lost it all, then from 30 weeks onwards, I gained steadily. They do do a couple of extra ultrasounds in the third tri to make sure growth is on track at my OB's office. I had one at 32 and one at 36 weeks.

I was told at my 16 week u/s that I was suppose to gain 20 lbs by 20 weeks. I had a 18 week u/s and nothing was said about my lack of weight gain. I think I was 3-5 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight.

By 20 weeks, I was only 6 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. Though, OB said I was closer to 10 lbs over. They might have used a weight during my HG where I was 8 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight.

Anyway, I asked my OB at 20 week appt and she said she wasn't worried. She said both babies are doing well. I was so relieved to hear that because I was concerned I was hurting my babies by not gaining weight and still having nausea. On good days, I try to eat a little more but those bad days usually sets me back.
