No weight gain during 2nd trimester. Anyone experienced this before? What was oby recommendations?

I gained 3 kg in 1st trimester. But nothing in 2nd trimester. I'm approaching week 18 and am worried for my upcoming anatomy scan in week 20. Should I eat more and exercise less? My BMI was normal before pregnancy.

Just check with gynae. He’ll be monitoring the baby’s weight with each scan. My gynae said babies are like perfect parasites. They will just take nutrients from the mother irregardless of the mother’s state. So you might be shrinking while the baby is growing :)
