Not gaining enough weight
Fri, 10/30/2009 - 17:55
I am nearing the end of my first trimester and find that I am not putting on enough weight. My doctor has advised me to gain some more weight. I hardly feel like eating anything. I am force-feeding myself and have gained just about 1.5 kg. Will I be able to gain wait in the second trimester?

You need not worry much on the weight gain in the first trimester as it can be very taxing. I weighed only about 0.5 kg extra in the whole of the first trimester, thanks to frequent bouts of nausea or vomiting. My scans were fine and the baby weighed normal. I did increase my weight in the second trimester and have gained still more now in my final trimester.
