How can i gain weight during my pregnancy i'm already 22 weeks and i've lost a lot of weight and i barley gained 2lbs.

Weight gain: Woman often times are very obsessed by the amount they gain in pregnancy. If you are underweight to start it is more of an issue, but the average American gains about 28 pounds too much in pregnancy. Ask your OB if your baby's growth has been normal before worrying. Most of your weight comes later anyway after morning sickness resolves.

Serious problem: You must consult with your OB-GYN. Proper nutrition is essential to a successful pregnancy. Call him/her ASAP

Consume more calorie: Are you having nausea and vomiting? Not hungry? Exercising too much? Are you constipated? Try drinking high calorie drinks like Carnation VHC or snacking on high calorie energy bars if underweight. Change nothing if overweight.

Calorie dense foods: Eating calorie dense foods such as nuts, heavy cream, butter, fatty fishes, dried prunes, and avocado can help increase your daily calorie intake and assist in the desired weight gain. Supplements for weight gain would be inferior in quality to whole foods which are readily available and much less expensive. Your obstetrician should be made aware of your weight concerns.
