when will I put on weight
I think you should only worry if you were underweight to start with. If you were over weight (even a ltiile bit) then you have the weight to lose and its not a problem. Also if you had any nausea to start with, weight gain can be a bit slow. I am about 10 kilos overweight and only start putting on weight after 20 weeks, but I also get bad nausea for about 15 - 20 weeks. Don't worry about your size either....your baby is obviously very happy snuggling right into you rather than sticking out in front. All three of my pregnancies have seen me with different size bumps, and I too was low and alot smaller when pregnant with my little girl.
My advice - Only worry when the proffessionals worry and even then, worrying won't change anything so you might as well "Be Happy".
All the best, please let us know how you go

i'm 28 weeks pregnant and i can still wear my own jeans and even though i have put weight on it has only been in the last 2 weeks. I was told not to worry about my weight because your stomach size has nothing to do with the size of bubs!
I put on 5kilos in the last 2 weeks but everyone keeps saying to me where is he or your so tiny!
But i've been told he is very healthy with a strong heartbeat and he doesnt seem to look like he's comming early!
everyone take care and goodluck and DONT WORRY about your weight it will come with time!

You should'nt be worried about showing people pick on you wether your big or small. I looked like a hippo from about 4months on at 20wks i looked like 30wks at 30wks i looked like i was going to go into labour any time. I have'nt worn my jean since i was 7wks that is how i usually know when i am pregnant. At the moment i look like i am going to burst and feel it, only 3wks to go. I have also started losing weight 3.5kgs in the last 7days don't know what that about but the baby is apparently 7 1/2 pds already.

I wouldn' worry too much about your weight, as long as baby is doing fine and growing well. I am in my 39th week at the moment and have actually lost 5 - 6 kg, which doctor said is fine, as baby is growing fine and they are guessing should be approx 3.5 kg. I also don't look 39 weeks and people ask how many weeks i am and when i say i have a few days to go they are shocked. Don't worry too much about your weight, just keep looking after yourself and i am sure everything will be cool!!!

I put on 12kg in my whole pregnancy and baby weighed just over 3kg (7lb, 3oz), I too got asked "where is it" by friends and medics alike but eventually looked really pregnant in the last 2 weeks!
