Hey I'm 21, and I'll be 20 weeks this up coming Thursday and I've been having trouble gaining weight. I'm 5'5 and I was 115 pre-pregnancy. I just can't seem to gain anything no matter how much I eat. I have a appointment with a nutritionist tomorrow morning so we'll see what's going on in my diet I suppose. ↓

I had my nutritionist appointment today and she told me I have to gain a pound a week starting now. I'm underweight as they say, so I gotta cut out my junk food intake and eat more veggies and fruits. I also have to eat at minimum the 3 meals a day which is kinda hard for me since I snack more than anything. I'm 118 now which is only 3 more pounds than last month but it's better then nothing. [3 ↑
