Hello
thanks for your query.
IT is not normal to have no weight gain till 22 weeks.
However, women who were obese pre conceptionally do sometimes gain lesser weight.
That does not seem to be the case with you.
The other possibility is inadequate dietary intake.
Please increase your protein intake , and overall calorie intake.
As long as your blood work and the baby's growth is normal clinically and by ultrasound, do not worry.
Take medicines as prescribed.
All the best.
