13 weeks and no weight gain- loss actually

WittyKittyKat · March 2009

Should I be concerned? I have lost about 2-3 lbs. I know some websites say I should have gained this in the first tri, and that in sec tri you gain a pound a week. I dont think that will be possible with my nausea.......Anyone else have this happen? I am not overweight to begin with and this is why I am worried, because I don't have any to spare..........

I didn't see any weight gain until my 16wk appt. Don't worry too much yet. If you OB isn't concerned, you shouldn't be either. You'll start to pack on the pounds when your m/s lets up and baby starts growing more rapidly.

I lost weight in the 1st tri. And when I was 13wks I had lost a little more. They rescheduled my 18wk appt to 20 wks so it had been 6 wks since I'd seen my doc and I gained 11lbs! So don't worry so much. At my last appt I'd gained like 4 or 5 I think.

At my 12 week appt I had only gained a pound. (With dd I lost about 5 pounds in the first tri.I was underweight when I got pregnant with her, too.) With the nausea and tiredness, I just didn't feel like eating.

As soon as the nausea went away (around 15 weeks.) I started putting on the weight! At my 16 week appt with this pregnancy I had gained 8lbs!

I wouldn't worry too much at this point. Hopefully that nausea will go away for you soon!

I lost weight through my 14w appointment. I had lost about 3 pounds and had no m/s. I gained at my 20w appointment, my doctor was not concerned. your body will make up the difference eventually.

I'm going back to my ob today, but I don't anticipate any weight gain yet either. I was down 4lbs at my last appointment, but I couldn't eat many foods because they made me sick to my stomach (ditto for eating normal sized portions). That's passed somewhat, so I might have some weight gain, but I dunno. My ob was concerned right up until I told her about the nausea, then she wasn't worried.

Nope.. I maybe gained a pound or two by 17 weeks and then NONE for my entire second tri (I went to two monthly appts without gaining weight and then finally gained like 4 lbs at the third). I only gained about 15 lbs my entire pg.. I wasn't really overweight to begin with either, although I did have some extra pounds I'd been carrying around (I gained about 20lb after my wedding).. As you can see, my baby is here and perfect.. and I was really lucky and lost about 25 lbs within two weeks of her birth, so I'm 10lbs under my pre preg weight now.

By 16 weeks I was down 7lbs. I finally started gaining back that weight at my 20 week appointment and now I am up a total of 16 so far. Trust me....the weight gain will happen it is just different for different people.

Ditto to everyone else, by my 12 week appointment I had lost 5 pounds and my Dr was not worried, I go back next week for my 16 week appointment and I am pretty sure I have gained some of it back but doubt I am to my pre pregnancy weight yet.

I have always lost lbs in the first trimester and never been told it was a concern. I technically had lost 3 lbs by 11 weeks but then at my appt last week I was back up 2 lbs. I figure that it'll start packing on in the coming weeks but should really see the difference by 18 weeks or so.

I think it's pretty normal to lose weight in the first tri especially if you have bad morning sickness/food aversions. I am still down about 3-4 lbs overall. My doc didn't say anything at my last appt. I am probably about 7 lbs overweight right now for my height though still, so as long as you aren't underweight, you should be fine. But you could always ask your doc.

I lost 10lbs in three weeks due to horrible m/s and didn't gain that 10 back until my 30week appointment! I only gained 15lbs total after that and had a 7.5lb baby. My OB was getting a little worried when I was in the late 20-ish weeks and was still under my starting weight but it all worked out in the end.
