As long as your doctor/midwife thinks your healthy then you're probably fine. .8 pounds really is a tiny amount. 25-35 total pounds is the recommended to gain. But even so, I think it is uncommon for complications to happen for a normal healthy person gaining too little weight. And most people put on the bulk of their pregnancy weight in the 3rd trimester.

In the first half of a pregnancy there's no reason to gain. Most of the recommended weight gain comes in the third trimester.

I think I gained about 2-3 pounds in the first 20 weeks or so. Most of my 19 lb. gain with each pregnancy came in the last 10 weeks.

Damn! That explains the stretch marks.

Actually it's less. If someone is overweight or obese it's recommended only 10-15 (as they should be losing fat and eating healthier). 20 lbs is perfectly normal especially for a petite person.

This is where I got the 25-35 pound recommendation from.

.8 lbs by 17 weeks is a bit little but I lost about 10 lbs of muscle because lifting was making me cramp really bad. So I think it evens out in the end. :)

The recommendations for weight gain in pregnancy are based on science and data. If you gain less than or more than the suggested amount, the baby has a higher risk of prematurity. I knew a shitlady from work who didn't gain enough weight. Her baby came two months early. No surprises there.
