[babyduejan16]

Im just wondering if its okay to loose weight? I mean I know its not healthy, but I just don't know what to do. Im 4 months prego and have lost 8 pounds instead of gaining weight.... im constantly sick, my doctor prescribed me medicine I just throw up and I just want my baby to be okay. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm currently 28+5. I was sick everyday until about 20 weeks. I lost 20 lbs & barely gained back 5. I know sickness ***** ): try not to drink plain water that makes nausea worse. try to stay eating even if you throw it up that way baby still gets what it needs. & make sure to take your vitamins. when I couldn't hold anything down I tried drinking ensure (it's like pedia sure for adults). that would help a lot. I hope this helps & I hope you feel better soon (:

If youre throwing up a lot or youre unable to eat your doctor is supposed to give you an iv for foods

U should speak to your doctor about phenergan 25mg p.o. im not sure what your doc has personally perscribed to you. Some ob's prefer zofran over phenergan others vice versa but being a nurse and personally trying both I prefer phenergan. I wasnt able to even hold down water at one point either but I finally got a script for phenergan I take it about an hour before I get out of bed and im good to go for the rest of the day.

Its okay honey, if they did have any concerns they would tell you and they would monitor you more closely x

[babyduejan16]

Okay. Thank you so much. That makes me feel a lot better

[distortedmind89]

Aw don't feel like that honey, it can't be helped.

I panicked with one of my babies as he/she is measuring five days smaller than the other one. But from what I read on here and  online its quite normal for babies to measure smaller than what they are up to 2 weeks.

Honestly, go to the doctors again, they should be able to put your mind at ease and offer you alternatives as well.

I just feel  like my baby is unhealthy because of me, I have a hard time even keeping. Down water, plus last ultra sound baby measuring a week small

[distortedmind89]

Aw that sounds awful honey :( I ain't sure what to suggest I been lucky and avoided any kind of sickness, but have had bad nausea and food aversions instead. I would see the doctor again and see if they are able to try something else with you to ease the sickness. But like I said weight loss is normal amongst a lot of pregnant woman. Even with no sickness I lost weight around 5lbs, slowly getting it back again now though.

Forgot to add im 18+3, and i saw my baby last week and everything is perfect, baby was measuring like five days ahead, dont worry, the sickness will pass, just give it time. I still get it from time to time.

[sammiejo13643]

I was so sick in the first three months and combined with me cutting sugars from my diet i lost 29 pounds. Hopefully i started to gain some back, i find out wed if i have.

[babyduejan16]

I have been trying not to worry, but the sickness is not easing up at all and im almost mid way :( my lose of appitite has even gone up, I never wanna eat. The doctor has prescribed me medicine and I have tried so much and still get sick :( I just want it to end

[distortedmind89]

A lot of people lose weight at first during pregnancy. Especially if you have the dreaded sickness too. If there were any major concerns the doctors would keep a close eye on you, as I got worried at first but it is perfectly normal. From what I have read a lot of people tend to put weight back on during the second trimester (mid roughly).

If you are concerned speak to your doc again about getting anti sickness medication (someone on here told me about them for my nausea)

Try not to panic too much though honey, as you will find a lot of people are the same.
