Hi I Am 16th Weeks Pregnant. Unfortunately, My Weight Isn
Question: Hi
I am 16th weeks Pregnant. Unfortunately, my weight isn't increasing at all. before starting my pregnancy , since I am a PCOD patient, I reduced it from 72 to 68 kgs and later it was reduced to 63 kgs. I am 63 kgs for these 4 months. I am eating well, no nausea as such. Starting this 4th month, my hairfall has increased so much, that I am scared of combing my hair. I don't see pregnancy belly at all. However I see the change in my breasts size.
This is IVF pregnancy, so I am taking lots of medicines everyday. Starting 2nd trimester, doc stopped Estradiol and started with Iron and Calciums meds.
I am due for ultrasound on 10th Dec. And doctor has said that weight should increase 2 kgs per month. I am damn worried.
Is my baby Ok?
Kindly guide.
THanks

At 16 weeks your tummy will be half way between pubic hair line to umbilicus.
Your TSH is a bit high in pregnancy.will need to discuss with your obstetrician and may need to take a small dose of thyroid hormone.
