Losing 15-20 lbs in latter first trimester

atoeller

I'm 12 weeks currently and so far I have lost around 15 pounds from before I was pregnant.  The only couple of things I can even imagine that are causing this is that I was on medications before I was pregnant (zoloft) and am now off of it and my lack of appetite.  I just can't see losing that much weight so early on; although I guess what I've read says if you lose weight, you'll lose during the first trimester.  My midwife's nurse I called said to just try to keep protein in my system and it should be fine but that's hard to believe.

I lost about that much with my son in a short amount of time because I couldn't eat anything or keep anything down and they told me the same thin about Protein.

I lost about 15lbs. in late 1st and early 2nd tri with my 2nd because I had such bad morning sickness. I didn't get back to my pre-pg weight until 30 weeks and the only gained 6 more pounds on top of that (I threw up on and off the whole pregnancy). I had a very healthy (just under) 8 pounder

I think it depends on how much you weighed prepregnancy and if you have excess weight to lose.  I would ask your doctor about this and see if they are concerned.  If excessive m/s is causing weight loss, then they can prescribe Zofran to help you keep food down.

All of this. One of my friends lost 25 lbs during 1dt trimester but she was overweight before getting pregnant. Talk to your doctor. Good luck.

I lost 10 lbs with my DD the first 16 weeks due to MS. When I just was pregnant with my DS, I lost about 16-18 lbs due to MS. I ended up gaining weight toward the end but now I weigh 20 lbs less than I did before I got pregnant. Both babies were super healthy. DD was 8 lbs 15 oz 10 days late (induced) and DS was 8 lbs 10 oz 4 days late (induced). You will be fine :-)

I also lost 15 pds the first trimester. I havnen't gained anything back yet either. It's funny your talking about Zoloft. I was on Lexapro and weaned off. I had been on it for almost 5 years. Now it makes me wonder. My doctor put me on Zofran for the nausea, but it does nothing for me! Good luck and I hope things get better for you!!
