Constantly Losing Weight

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I have so far lost around 20 to 25 pounds since I've been pregnant. Since lasr Dr visit two weeks ago, I've lost about 5-8 more pounds.I am a plus sized woman prior to becoming pregnant and with first two pregnancies, lost weight in the first trimester and gained in second and third. First two were boys and this one is totally different from those. I am expecting a girl this time around yay! I am not really showing like I would in the first two pregnancies and I don't really have a craving nor do I have an appetite when I wake up in the morning or for dinner. I have found myself forcing feeding during these times most days. My question  is for anyone else is who has experienced this to comment with their story and outcome please. Thanks in advance! Blessings to all pregnant mommies!

I have been in the same boat! I'm now 31 weeks and have lost a total of around 30lbs my weight loss was due to really bad indigestion and vomiting... My doc's began to worry when I had lost close to 5lbs in 5 days. I was put on 3 new meds and went to doc this week and have gained 3lbs yay! Baby had continued to grow and measure above so in beginning not allot of worries. My suggestion is like previous poster if baby still growing well and doc not to worried don't worry yourself. Remember at the end of the day the baby will always take what it needs even if it makes you sick! Pray the best for you and little one!

I lost weight with my first about 15kilos and he was born a healthy 3.4kilos on the 50th percentile. As long as the nurse says the baby is still growing there is nothing to worry about. Im now pregnant with my second and am 17 weeks and have lost 15 kilos (over 30 pounds). I am also a plus size girl and have put it down to eating better and looking after myself more. U will find the baby will gain weight even if u are losing it. I was so stressed with mg first about this but after he was so healthy im not so worried with this one. Good luck. Xx
