concerned that I am losing weight instead of gaining

[debbienrashid]

I am going on my 5th month of pregnancy and the first few months I had put on 5 pounds but now I have lost 4 of that. I also havent been feeling her move as much. Im getting worried that something is wrong.

Ok thank you both so much. My last child was 15 years ago and this pregnancy is totally different so it all feels new to me. Along with worries bc I have ms and I'm diabetic. It helps to hear reassuring words from other mommies. Thanks again :)

I've lost 30 pounds in this pregnancy and about as much in my previous pregnancies and my babies turn out just fine
and as far as movement goes maybe she's on a night schedule or possibly she's facing your back so you're not feeling her as well
but you should ask your doctor what they think just to be safe

I wouldn't worry. Some people have a hard time gaining weight. Talk to your doctor or midwife if you are very concerned.
