I don't look pregnant anymore...

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Before we found out about our missed m/c, I looked distinctly pregnant - to the point that I was having a hard time hiding it from people. I was almost 12 weeks.

Yesterday, I was sitting on the couch and noticed that my stomach is significantly flatter. I have also lost about five pounds since finding out I was pregnant in November..

I guess it's bittersweet. I wanted to lose a little weight before getting pregnant and promised myself that I would lose it after the baby came. I was determined to only gain a minimal amount of weight (per doctor's orders) so I started really watching what I ate and making sure that my calories were good calories. So while I'd rather be pregnant still, I am happy that I am eating as healthy as I was when I was pregnant and that it seems to be paying off so far.

    This made me sad for you at first but then I instead chose to love your positive attitude.  I had lost 18 pounds before getting PG and I also plan to continue healthy living and hopefully losing a few more lbs before the next time.  Good for you for keeping it in perspective.

    Way to go with the positive attitude! Yes  The 1st thing I noticed about my body after my D&C was my stomach was no longer hard.  I was 11w4d when we found out about our m/c.  I also took this as an opportunity to keep healthy & work on weight as we ttcal.  Keep up the great work!!!!

    Girl, more power to you for staying healthy. I fell off the healthy wagon and this week promised I was going to start eating like I was pregnant again and your post just made me go make my lunch and snacks for work tomorrow ( I guess today...).

    Bitter sweet.  After my d&c, I was able to work from home for almost 2 weeks.  I remember putting on my work pants and bursting into tears.  I was 11w 6d for my d&c, and had to wear a belly band with my work pants.  Having that not only button just fine, but actually feel too big was too much for me.  It was a reality check that I was in fact no longer pregnant.
