Not as much weight gain by 6months compared to first pregnancy?

Quoting Justine:

Its perfectly fine. I gained a total of 10 lbs with my first which was a boy and my second which was a girl I gained 20lbs. Im now expecting my 3rd and I am 21 weeks and its a boy I have just started to gain weight. They say you gain less with boys and more with girls. As long as the baby is growing there is nothing wrong with weight.

I gained just over 4st with my little boy and with my second i'm losing weight, i find out if its a boy or girl next month but i have a feeling its a girl...

Must be a second baby thing... I still had a little extra weight from my first born and am now almost 16 wks pregnant with my second (18 months later)
I have actually lost 10lb and i have been eating normally as i have had barely any nausea with this baby!!! I'm just thanking my lucky stars, i have been wanting to lose weight for ages and not its happening, who knows lol i might end up thinner than when i first fell pregnant ;-) Here's wishing, xxx

I'm @ 38 wks and I have gained half of what I gained with my son. Its unreal. I feel alot better than I did with him. Also, like Whitney above, I did have some of my 1st baby weight that I hadn't lost and was really sick in the beginning not gaining any weight until about 20 wks.

Well, you have to think about it. Obviously you aren't just sitting around like you might have done the first time around and eating, you are busy taking care of Lily. You have to be somewhat active playing with her and you are constantly burning calories. I agree with Liz too, the weight doesn't matter, it is that you are staying healthy.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and I am still the same weight as I was when I concieved. I too had some extra weight when I got pregnant and I think that it all leveled out. I have also been watching what I eat because I have gestational diabetes. I know I am eating healthier now than I did before pregnancy which is keeping my weight level. As long as your baby is growing and healthy, then there is no need to worry about your weight. Just keep yourself and your baby healthy.

I'm 15 weeks with my 2nd and I still had some of my baby weight from my first when I got pregnant. I haven't gained a thing and in fact lost weight in the beginning because I could barely eat anything and was throwing up all the time. I'm suspecting I may not gain as much weight this time around because I already had it to begin with.
