33weeks pregnant and not gaining weight
I'm in 33weeks of pregnancy and I have gained only 6kgs from the start of the pregnancy till now. Although I did lost a few kilos during the first trimester due to morning sickness. In my last scan I was told my baby is slightly underweight so I am taking protein supplements along with iron calcium vit d. Also I have included all kinds of healthy food available like seasonal fruits and vegetables also legumes. It's been 3weeks now I did initially gained some weight but now I'm losing it again. (I was 69 pre pregnancy and now I'm 75, gained 1.3 after scan but today lost it again) I'm worried and concerned about my baby. Also since last 3-4 days I have cold and cough. Is not gaining weight is normal?

it highly depends on the percentile growth factor and fetal doppler changes in your baby. i really want to see your scan reports to find if something is wrong to comment further
Next Steps
you can follow up with frequent growth profile scan with fetal doppler
Health Tips
Remember the baby just need to weigh above 2.5 kg on the day of delivery. need not be fat
