Weight gain, or lack thereof

So Minal gained almost 5 pounds in her first trimester. She started at 130 and had reached almost 135 by the end of 12th week. Most of it is attributed to her not having any major nausea, morning sickness or vomiting which seems to be causes of women actually losing some weight in their first trimester. Not for her, she gained some.

As per books and doctors women gain most in their second trimester. But she has not gained much, if at all, in last two weeks. And we are getting concerned now. It could be that she gained some in first trimester so her body is just trying to balance it out or something. Nature works in mysterious ways. Of course each pregnancy is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all but she seems to be going against statistics. Not much nausea and or vomiting in first trimester, weight gain in first trimester, not much weight gain in first few weeks of second trimester and she sleeps more in second trimester when most women are more energetic at this time in their pregnancy.

We have our second prenatal visit scheduled next week and this one is going on the list of questions!
