I'm losing weight

I'm 27 weeks and for the past three weeks I've noticed that I'm losing weight. I lost 2 pounds in two weeks. I now weigh 122 pounds and I'm worried I'm not a healthy weight. I eat a balanced diet andtry to have a snack whenever I feel hungry. What could possibly be wrong with me? Extremely worried.

As long as you are eating and your baby is growing you are fine. You only need an additional 600 calories for baby.  I have been drinking Ensure to get in extra protein and to help with weight gain.  Talk to your ob about it at your next appointment.

I too have lost weight during this pregnancy. I am bigger then you so my dr isn't to worried. But if your worried contact your OB. Mine said as long as the baby is growing then it's fine. Maybe is bc you have been eating healthy food that you normally wouldn't have been eating while not pregnant. I wouldn't stress to much over it. But do contact your OB.
