Weight issues.

Support

So, I expected some weight problems with my pregnancy. I'm 5 feet tall and about 160 on a good day, so being chubby is not new for me. I'm cool with it.

I expected to gain more weight - to really have to be careful and not pig out at every craving....but instead I haven't gained a pound! And its really starting to make me nervous!!

I was 165lb in September, just before I got pregnant. I then went down to 163 at about 4 weeks because of a 'mysterious stomach bug' ....

I've been weighing myself weekly since December (at work, because I don't own a scale) and I am holding steady at 163lb. My midwife said on Tuesday that she's not worried yet, that my weight is probably redistributing from me to baby, but I'm still nervous!!! I'm 16 weeks now, and popping a little bit, but still not a pound over my original weight. I'm trying really hard to maintain a healthy diet and take all my vitamins, but I'm getting nervous that Fetus McBabyson isn't getting the nutrients he/she needs from me.
