Losing weight while very PG??

zoology2

I have lost weight the past few weeks but my midwife does not seem to be concerned. Did this happen to anybody else?

I am not sure if I am not eating enough, or just eating enough for the baby to get what they need or what.

It isn't a huge loss but a couple of lbs. Midwife said to watch it and try to increase the calorie content but how many more damn cookies can I eat? I seriously eat EVERYTHING in sight and I am just starting to worry as this has not happened with any of my other pgs.

i lost weight at the same time when preg with sawyer.

and this time, i havent gained any weight in a few weeks, which i guess means ive technically lost since reese has gained. 

i wouldn't just eat cookies though LOL

In my non-expert opinion (as someone who had a hard time gaining weight at the beg of pregnancy), you need more protein, not cookies. Try having some carnation instant breakfast for a quick fix. Also fatty foods like avocados, eggs, cook with coconut oil, etc.

Its pretty normal. you tend to lose some water weight in the last few weeks.

My OB told me it is completely normal to maintain or lose weight in the last month because the baby has the stomach cramped into basically nothing. I wouldn't worry as long as you are eating!

For both of mine, I started losing a bit at the very end, like within two weeks of when I ended up delivering. My OB wasn't concerned either time.

Haha I don't eat cookies really at all. But I have stocked up on high-fat foods and nothing gives. I am just at lost as what to eat anymore. I spent $125 on groceries and have consumed every last cent of what I bought in 2-3 days. When I say I eat, I mean I practically have a buffet for every meal.

Thanks for the feedback ladies! I'm not so worried anymore but still puzzled haha!

I lost a few pounds in the last month. But I gained 50, so they weren't missed
