11 WEEKS PREGNANT | Not Gaining Enough Weight?

[@NatalieBennett]

note: NEXT week's pregnancy update will explain the miscarriage symptoms and urgent care story. That happened in WEEK 12, not WEEK 11. As I sat and filmed this video I hadn't yet gone through that traumatic experience. Thank you for all your prayers and kind words. Me and #BennettBean are doing just fine now!

[@alexisw3156]

Natalie Bennett I am so happy you both are okay!

[@charlesseprice5426]

did she miscarried?

[@PatriciaDroddy]

Natalie Bennett Wonderful! I am so very glad to hear that! I thank and I praise the Lord for it!

[@alyssaplew]

Thankfully, she did not!

[@hannahsalyer8228]

Praise the Lord you and baby are ok!

[@alexisw3156]

Isn't it amazing how fast they grow?! Last week strawberry. Today lime. Wow that's amazing. One week

[@kaitlinloyer350]

I actually lost about 10 pounds in the first trimester with both of my pregnancies and didn't gain any weight above my pre-pregnancy weight until week 20 both times. It's so hard to put on weight when you don't have an appetite at best and feel nauseous and sick at worst. I think the frequent small meals is a great plan! Hopefully you'll keep feeling better so you'll want to eat more. 😀

[@favorjanae6464]

i am currently 11 weeks also...my appetite has been trash

[@kmills1231]

I didn't gain weight until 24 weeks and I had a nearly 9 lb baby don't worry as long as you eat fine and baby is fine

[@sandrahaywood5862]

kirsten mills wow that's crazy! What'd you eat?

[@kmills1231]

I ate healthy and when I felt hungry. I just lost weight in my legs and arms I dropped 2 pant sizes. everyone thought he was going to be 6lbs. I also hiked every day for exercise. did a hike up a mountain at 40 weeks pregnant.

[@sandrahaywood5862]

kirsten mills ok thanks! I was so happy to be prego with my daughter that I ate everything and gained so much weight!! It was HARD trying to loose it. I'm trying to do better with my next pregnancy as we're trying now and I still haven't lost all the weight from my daughter. I just need to be disciplined with eating healthy, resisting cravings and staying active. Thanks!

[@LizTorresMetalheadliz]

Really Enjoying these updates!! Dont worry alot about gaining weight. As long as you are eating healthy you are good. With my second baby I didnt gain a pound until i was 20 weeks, i gained 17 pounds total, pretty much gained everything in the end of my 2nd trimester and 3rd trimester. You look great!

[@mandisa1054]

Hi Natalie. I'm so grateful for your videos. I watch every week. Im 11 weeks and I love food but experiencing the same issue. Doc said I'm not gaining enough wt. I know I will start craving food as the pregnancy progresses. But this was comforting. Thanks so much

[@luvinglife1854]

So happy for you and the little bean. I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant with baby #4 and what a rough start we had. Between week 7-9 the doctor detected no heart beat and the baby was measuring severely behind growth wise. Doctor told us to prepare for impending miscarriage, this baby was a result of IVF so to say we were devastated is an understatement. Not only the thought of losing this little blessing but thinking about having to go through the whole process again, paying all the money again was heart breaking. Went in for another ultrasound at 10 weeks, low and behold baby was there measuring on track with a heart beat of 171bpm, what a complete miracle and gift from God! Hearing you talk about your scary situation brought me back to all those feelings of fear that used to be ever present for me. Luckily God has brought us through and we pray every day all day that we are able to care for and bring up this blessing from Him. So happy for you and Weston :)

[@sandrahaywood5862]

luving life wow I'm so glad you and baby are ok! Look at God always coming through and working mirackes🙏🏾 I orY a continues healthy pregnancy for you and delivery!

[@georgiacook2108]

We're a week apart in our pregnancy, I have had no nausea throughout my pregnancy and I'm 10 weeks 2 days and I can defiantly start to see my bump showing and it feels like it's came out of no where! Super excited to have my first baby!!

[@hazelpiffington]

I really needed to hear this... I’m ten weeks today and I cried on my husband’s lap because of lack of energy and trying to keep up with a two year old. We’re quarantined in our room most of the day while Dad works from home. I’m sure I’ll feel better next week... (hopefully) ... anyways thanks girl #GodBless

[@lizzgomez2726]

I'm 36 weeks pregnant

[@FoxieShay]

That's how my mom was with me.

[@SarahLuteran]

I feel the same way right now at 11 weeks and three days. I can’t eat with the gusto that I used to before pregnancy. I am 5’ 9” and 174 which is a pound less than what I started this pregnancy at but baby is measuring the perfect size. I guess that is the only thing that matters is the baby is growing and strong❤️👶🏻

[@jasminefederico5638]

I’m 11 weeks and pregnant with baby number 1, and I’m tired and sick of the nausea 😭 the dizziness, and the breast tenderness. I can’t wait till the first trimester is over 😂 I defiantly won’t miss it

[@andreas3331]

I’m 11 weeks and 3 days!! I know this video is older but I’ve been a subscriber for about two years now and I love your videos 😊 the last week I’ve been getting sick unfortunately but I’m trying to just take it one day at a time and be positive 💕 so blessed and excited to become a mommy!

[@NatalieBennett]

Blessings, mama! I'll be praying for you!

[@andreas3331]

Natalie Bennett Thank you!

[@moonshayd]

I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my first! :)

[@mydnyt]

I weighed 118 when I first got my pregnancy confirmed (probably around five or six weeks along). By the time I had my first OB appointment (at the end of my first trimester due to insurance issues) I weighed 103 (and even got down to 102 at the appointment after that). I'm only five foot one and the case manager (i'm not sure if that was her official job title, just she assisted with things like referring to Healthy Start in town and things like that) was concerned about me being underweight. I think I only threw up once in the first trimester but would feel super super sick if I went too long without eating or if I immediately got up and started doing things when I woke up in the morning. I ended my pregnancy at 126 pounds.

[@marenawenzlick7441]

I actually lost 7 pounds in my first trimester. My doc said its normal to lose 1-5 pounds in the first trimester. I lost 7 because I got a cold and wasn't able to eat or drink anything. He said there isn't an exact science on the rate to gaining weight but that you start during the second trimester and the goal is to have 25-35 by like week 36. I'm in the second trimester now and he said he just wanted me to gain 3 pounds by week 20 since I lost so much in my first trimester.

[@tessaromero1012]

Hey girl... I’m also 11 weeks and I actually feel more tired.. and my weight hasn’t changed. I hope I get energy soon!!! ❤️❤️🤰🤰

[@jengaatc]

I'm 11 weeks and still sick and exhausted! The last couple days the nausea had decreased slightly, though! I also noticed that my belly button is starting to develop the lines nigra. I'm also very over emotional. :)

[@abdiazizabdirizaq3209]

Jen G same here am 11 weeks 5 days but still feeling dizziness and etc

[@CaliforniaLove93]

Feeling the same way. 11.5 weeks and in nursing school and working has me exhausted

[@victoriamendy1083]

@@abdiazizabdirizaq3209 hhl

[@MandGLmao]

Yeah I'm still exhausted but don't have morning sickness anymore

[@REALkristinnefertiti]

Well... My 11th week sucks... In bed all weekend...NO burst of energy. Glad for you.

[@eibrahim91]

Don't stress about the weight. Every body is different. I didn't gain a single pound until I was 20 weeks pregnant but it then went on fairly quickly and by the end I had gained exactly the amount my doctor recommended. Your body will probably just catch up once you are feeling better

[@kasitouvell3895]

Emma and Family both my boys I couldn’t gain by myself I had to use protein shakes and only gained 10 lbs. with this pregnancy I’ve lost 8 lbs but I’m heavier then I was 5 years ago.

[@fairiesandwitches2388]

You can look up pregnancy smoothies, there are some great recipes for weight gain during pregnancy. Even plant based recipes. Peanut butter or almond butter is always good to add to smoothies for some extra fat. You look great!! :)

[@tinyking11]

I just turned 11 weeks today & I’ve lost hella weight too from vomiting so much in my earlier weeks. Hopefully I gain it back in my second trimester.

[@Deliah_36]

11weeks and feeling well. Tell me about it!!! I'm 11 weeks and nausea and vomiting have gone. Now I have new concerns. Last Thursday I went to the ER, I was bleeding and doctor found a Subcorionic Hematoma. Although he told me there's nothing to worry about if I follow instructions, but I am really scared. Does someone else have had same case?

[@shanteljimenez2030]

I'm 20 Weeks pregnant and I'm barely started to gain weight (I gained 2 lbs back from what I lost in the first trimester). Don't worry so much, my baby is a pound already and is super healthy! As long as you eat regularly, you're doing a good job

[@vikneswarisundaram2691]

I lost almost 9kg which ard 20lbs. I still haven't checked my weight. But I am hoping I have gained some pounds. I am eating a lot at night. That is the only proper heavy meal I have. I am almost 11weeks now. My first pregnancy. But my baby bump is very small. Is these all normal?

[@bethyboots8976]

I didn't gain any weight until the far end of my second trimester! I had no appetite! X

[@heathergracenyc]

I am so happy to hear that you and your baby are okay. I just started watching your videos (I'm 10 weeks pregnant with my first child), and I love how positive you are. Your faith and kindness truly show through your videos. Thank you for sharing your heart and your experiences! Sending my best wishes to you and your little one!

[@almark14]

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and would love to know what you eat in a day!!! Maybe a video??

[@swetabanerji]

I am 10 weeks 4 days pregnant now. Have been following your videos every week. So far my experiences are good enough, not really experiencing nausea but like you said, dont feel like eating especially after sunset. I am keeping myself hydrated, infact, water intake is way more than what it used to be before I got pregnant. Thank you for your weekly updates, really helpful, its like having someone who's guiding me on a weekly basis. God bless ❤ All the way from India.

[@FoxieShay]

I know this might sound weird but pregnancy bellies suit you!

[@rosiesmommy2094]

my friend said she was losing weight up until she was 30 weeks. & I didn't start to gain weight till I was 27 weeks, when I was 25 weeks I was so worried... but it has always been hard for me to gain weight

[@TeamMontes]

I feel blessed that I haven't experienced nausea in my current pregnancy but one symptom of pregnancy that I've been experiencing a lot is fatigue. I always need to take a power nap during the day evwn if I'm not really doing much. My eyes are just automatically shutting down at around 2-3pm. Haha!

[@AdrianaMartinez-zq7bw]

Just gotta say, I found your lovely preg videos and watch them all as I go along in my pregnancy... (that we had been waiting for almost 3 years now!) 😁I am 9 wks 6 days now, but on my last ultrasound (2days ago) the baby measured at 10 wks 4 days (so my EDD went from 9/22/19 to 9/15/19) idk how that happened, lol... yet I started my pregnancy at about 121 lb but weighed 119 lb at this last prenatal/ultrasound apt. Idk if I should worry about not gaining weight, but the baby is still growing, which is one of the things I was worried about. Ultimately, I know that whatever happens is in God’s hands! 🙌🏻 But also pray that He protects my baby of any and all harm. May God bless all of our beautiful miracles!!! 💕❤️💗👶🏻

[@SimplyHandmade]

I literally gained ZERO weight during my entire pregnancy! I actually lost about 20-25lbs after I gave birth. I was also extremely sick and had intense food aversions with my boys. I also went to a nutritionist but that didn't help lol. I just ate whatever I could tolerate.

[@ginaparnell2497]

your belly is high! i think its a girl!

[@Tatiana70902]

im 10 weeks as per my calculation and 11 weeks as per dr calculation. i cant eat anything. i feel metal taste in my mouth only i eat is bread and potato. nothing else i can eat. i have gained in 10 weels arround 6 kg. thats so scary

[@corinaroissetter321]

I lost 10 pounds in the first trimester, I'm 18 weeks now and just gained 3 pounds from what I lost, so completely normal to lose weight :)

[@Musicbomb29]

I lost 5 lbs in my first trimester because I was so sick with my first son luckily everything was fine with his growth and then I started gaining in the 2nd trimester once my morning sickness was gone.

[@ContoseFadas.]

My nausea seems to be better during the day but I do still get queasy after 5pm. Also my gag reflex is terrible, I’ve been struggling so much with swallowing my prenatal vitamins… I also don’t feel like my energy is back yet.

[@sarahurley3238]

I wouldn't stress... I never gained anything in my 1st trimester for either pregnancy. One pregnancy I lost 10lbs do to morning sickness.

[@bre1808]

first comment❤❤ this happned during my cousins pregnancy but now she has one happy little baby! hope everything works out!

[@janedoe7187]

You should do a montage of all the belly shots at the end! That would be so cool!

[@makeupyourmind2019]

It's interesting that different apps report different sizes. We're week 11 day 2 and my app mentioned strawberries for size reference, a lime seems significantly larger. I'll have to do more search and figure out which app is correct.

[@makeupyourmind2019]

Other comparisons I found are fig, Brussels sprout and thumb. :D

[@keilisbabys4770]

i was wonderinf the same!

[@MrsMelboZ]

Lots of energy? I wish. Let's hope that I feel the same soon! But nausea has subsided for me too which is great :-)

[@noahsmommytn23]

I was 105 before I got pregnant and now I'm 97 at 11w 1d . I eat but I'm not gaining weight.

[@jamiebluemel3186]

I doesn't gain any with both of my girls until the 20th week but with my boys I gained weight every week like normal.

[@JennieDCuteThings]

Totally irrelevant to this video (altho i am 11 weeks pregnant) but i wanted to share that you give me such warm fall vibes and i cannot wait until fall time and watch your futures videos!

[@aminasesayaminata1322]

[@ThenomadNelsons]

Hello, i really enjoy your videos as I just found your blog. I'm also 11 weeks pregnant today due April 27th 2017. I had to make myself morning smoothies with bananas, spinach, some sort of milk and cinnamon. I had vertigo from 8-11 weeks of pregnancy (I'm 11 weeks today) and it was just awful. I actually lost weight too but being that I'm 160 pounds it didn't cause to much concern. I'm so excited for you! I also have a tiny pregnancy Vlog after my husbands vasectomy reversal.

[@meliamedaverman3558]

I'm almost 12 weeks and my baby bump is not even showing like yours. I don't even feel like I am pregnant.lol My belly still the flat like before I got pregnant.

[@Justhereforthecomments137]

I would follow up with the nutritionist. They can help you out with things that you wouldn't think of.

This was a great video. I am 11 weeks and 3 days with identical twins and it is hard to find videos with good information from a normal human who isn't totally consumed with only getting views or babbling on about other things - thank you! Will deff be subscribing. --- week 6789&10 was awful. I was had so much nausea. And horrible migranes. But once I started eating more and properly I started doing better. Still not totally past the nausea point for me. But feeling much better than I was!

[@alexandramontemayor8665]

Hello!! I can not find which vitamins you suggest, to take !!! Help me PLEASE!!

[@stephaniewright340]

I think.. but not sure that pregnant woman should eat 6-8 small meals a day...or 3 reg meals and 3 small meals besides your reg. meals.. yes, you are fortunate I was sick the whole entire time I was pregnant (3 weeks to 43 weeks)..I hated being pregnant.. at least 10 times a day I would get sick..I couldn't keep NOTHING down..I should of been hospitalized but Doctors didn't know what they know now about pregnancy sickness..(17 years ago) hope and pray you keep getting better with each week ..also I pray you gain some weight..your an intelligent woman I'm sure you will do what is best for you and your body/unborn baby) I'm really excited for you and your family..good luck..God Bless and have a wonderful day!!!

[@kasitouvell3895]

I’ve lost 8 lbs but I’m a bigger gal so my midwife wasn’t worried. She said to just eat as healthy as possible. I’ve not thrown up but still have nausea and food aversions. I couldn’t even eat my ice cream bc it tasted like throw up. 😭😭 Super tired still.. 😴

[@thebjm1967]

I’m 12 weeks with my first baby. I have only gained like 5 pounds. My mom only gained 19 with all three of hers so I think it’s normal because I’m eating so much!

[@Nihonrabu]

Don't worry about the weight gain. It could have just been a difference of water or you didn't eat so much the day before. It's just one pound! I'm in week 18 and haven't even gained one pound yet lol I live in Japan and here doctors are pretty strict about weight gain. Not in my case but with a BMI of 18.1 I'm still only advised to gained 18-24 pounds in my entire pregnancy while in my homecountry in Europe it would be almost double that. I know you are not like that, eating for two and stuffing your face with unhealthy stuff, but I think in the US weight gain during pregnancy is too much.

[@scrappingangel27]

Don't worry too much dear. I have a petit frame and never gained any weight, only lost some untill 20 weeks! My babies were all 7 to 9 lbs! If you eat healthy and 5 to 8 smaller meals and snacks per day you are good to go.

[@masefase]

Don't be too concerned about weight. I lost 6kg by 20 weeks. Now at 32 weeks I've only gained 4kg back! Baby is healthy and a little chunky so nothing for me to worry about!

[@mosaedismael9223]

Week 11 and day 1 pregnant today i feel good not like before extreme fatigue and extreme nausea. Just how you explain 11weeks of pregnancy that's how i feel.

[@colettehenderson6108]

I've lost 7 lbs in my first tri. I started at the high end of normal, and have had terrible nausea. My OB with my first pregnancy was terrible to me about it. My new OB isn't going to worry unless I don't gain in the 2nd tri.

[@Olgaleigh]

yes little bits all day :) hope it goes well

[@amayamayo7178]

I am 11 weeks and 1 day also right now, but I am still ever so sick and exhausted. The fatigue is the worst with little pains and all. I never have good pregnancies, this is number 3 for me and number last! Lol even my husband said this is unbearable for him seeing me in so much pain.

[@charlissaberry2391]

I know these are old videos but I am 11weeks going to be 12 weeks soon and at 11 weeks im so happy im starting to feel much better now, I was puking and feeling like crap all the time but im still tired all the time, I cant wait to have energy to clean the house again. MY symptoms have pretty much been matching up to you I also lost weight but im not showing at all yet im told this is bc its my 1st baby I cant wait to have a bump!

[@marissakeepstheheat2]

I wouldn't worry about weight. I lost weight first trimester. I'm 25 weeks now and only gained 8-9 pounds. Doctor doesn't seem worried at all. Third trimester will fix the weight gain haha!

[@lubonometti]

Hi Natalie! I've followed you during your pregnancy and now that I'm pregnant, I'm watching all over again as I go on! 11 weeks today!

[@aaliyahpowers6146]

I'm so happy for you Nat! Can't wait to know the gender. 💖

Doctors always seem to obsess over weight when your pregnant. Haha Glad you and baby are good!

[@Julieryantiffany]

Loved watching this Natalie! I know with this being my third pregnancy I'm already struggling to be okay with the body changes. I have more curves and have never been able to lose all of my baby weight. I wish I could but I have never been successful with this. I am hoping to be more accepting of all the changes I will be encountering.

[@thelainglife5723]

I am 21 weeks pregnant and am still down 4lbs. I have not gained any weight at all. my Dr said she wants me to have gained 2lbs by my next appt in 4 week.

[@taylorramirez9370]

I didn't gain any weight until 24 weeks because I was so sick in the first and in the beginning of the second trimester! Doctor said as long as I'm gaining what the baby is gaining he'd be happy! I'm now 36 weeks and have gained 22lbs!

I`m 32 weeks pregnant & during the 1st trimester i didn't gain any weight either i lost as well, I did start to gain weight during the 2nd trimester & i`m currently at 14lbs weight gain so try not to worry too much, Just do what you said about having a few snacks ect you sound like you know whats right for you X

[@Nealiona]

That is so interesting! I'm week 11 now, didn't gain any weight and even dropped one kilo since the beginning - I tried to eat consistently, but the nausea was REAL during weeks 7-10. Then the nausea (almost) stopped and I went back to my normal amount of food but still was extremely exhausted all the time. Right now we are in a Greek hotel with all inclusive (basically stuffing our faces with all the delicious Mediterranean food 😀) and I feel a HUGE change in my energy levels! I can finally human! It wasn't until I watched this video that I realized how this is definitely connected, I guess my normal portions were just not enough!

[@agathechllt]

i was told everything i put into my body needed to have calories. i lost 20 pounds with my pregnancy. so i drank things like gatorade and things between meals that had calories in it. i was so worried about water, but it wasnt helping me

[@BlueSea23]

Both my pregnancies I lost quite a bit of weight. Both pregnancies were healthy though with healthy babies too. Just didn't like eating very much particularly at the beginning with sickness. I agree eating little and often is the way to go.
