Losing weight

Is anyone else losing weight? I am 38, 23 weeks along and overweight. My first 12 weeks I was very nauseous, but tried eating small amounts often so baby got adequate nutrition. Well I am not sick anymore and I am still losing. 14 pounds so far. The baby is very active, I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this.

I am 36 and 30 weeks 5 days with my first baby. I am also overweight. I lost weight until week 19. I never had nausea or morning sickness, I just wasn't hungry. The dr never worried because the baby has been growing just fine and is very active. There is nothing to worry about unless the dr worries.

I myself haven't gained any weight, I'm 38 weeks. I'm overweight myself and lost about 12lbs so far...it is normal for overweight woman to lose weight. My mw said as long as I'm eating 1800 calories a day, and doing prenatals that its fine. The baby well always get what it needs. I'm my 3rd pregnancy i lost a total of 47lbs. and she was healthy and weighed 8lbs 9oz. I wouldn't worry any.
