weight loss

[emmymom712]

I know this probably gets asked a lot, but is it alright for me to be experiencing dramatic weight loss without experiencing morning sickness? I want to blame it on the fact that i've been depressed, but i'm beating myself up because im not really overweight and dropped 5 pounds in a week. btw im over 10 weeks along. I just want some peace of mind i guess.

I lost 20 pounds in my first trimester and I gained it all back. Dr said baby ***** up all the fat first before you start to gain. So don't stress about it your fine.

Thanks ladies. I'm not so much worried about the weight loss as I am just overall stress and depression. I just don't wanna hurt my baby because I'm hurting

During the first two trimesters of my pregnancy I lost weight also. I was eating somewhat healthier and it wasn't until the beginning of my third trimester I started gaining weight. So far I have only gain 9 lbs. and I am at 36 wks + 6 days. My doctor said its normal and the baby was fine, so she wasn't worried. So don't worry you'll get your appetite back and you'll start gaining. Hang in there.

Don't worry! I lost 12 pounds from morning sickness! (Now at 20 weeks I still weigh 6 pounds less then I did before I was pregnant lol) My doctor told me that in the first trimester, its not an end-of-the-world thing because it happens to so many girls and your baby is so tiny, you don't have to eat a whole lot to sustain it. And don't worry about not being any more hungry than usual...because when you get to your second trimester, you'll have the appetite of a pro athlete lol trust me, you'll be eating everything in sight ;)

I lost 5 lbs. And I haven't gained any weight and I'm at 4 months. The doctor says the baby is fine, we had an ultrasound and she looks really healthy. I would say no worries. Make sure you're eating what you need to eat, prenatals and keep hydrated. Don't stress out. I was so worried about my weight at first but were good.

it;s still a fair bit to lose in one week, if you were continually losing weight it would definitely be cause for concern, My MW didn't mind me losing that half stone but she said as long as it wasn't lots, so prob keep checking your weight and ask you dr / midwife x

i'm not eating healthier than i was so thats not the reason. I don't have much of an appetite, even though i don't have nausia, but i force myself to eat anyways if that helps

Are you eating plenty, cause you need to make sure you're eating enough so the
at baby can get all the nutrients etc that it needs to grow. I lost about half a stone in my pregnancy but that's cause i changed my eating habits and ate more healthy. But that's k lot of you weight to lose in one week. X
