in Pregnant after a Loss

Has anyone had a weight loss all of a sudden and everything been fine?

So, I did this to my-self I know, I weighted my self at home just to see where my weight was so I didn't FREAK at the doctors office on Friday (thinking that I had gained like 5-6 pounds), well It back fired, I have lost 2 pounds according to the scale I used. Now I need to hear from you that one 2 pounds isn't that big of a deal. AND two that its happened to someone and everything looks good with their baby.

I am worried my fluid levels may be low, or that baby isn't growing right, or that I just REALLY EFFED up my food intake for a whole month! If you have had one of these problems I would also like to here your stories, I just need something to hold on to till I get to the Doctors office on Friday and can talk to her.

    That hasn't happened to me, but I don't think 2 pounds is a big deal.  Weight can fluctuate quite a bit, and even if you did lose the weight, your body is working hard to grow a baby and your baby will get what he/she needs.

    Drinking a ton of water is always good, though, so try to drink more!

    I only gained 15 lbs total with DS. I would have months were I gained and months when I lost weight. My OB wasn't overly concerned since I noticed a lot of it had to do with how swollen I was- I guaged it on if I could wear my wedding band or not. Maybe it's just water weight that you aren't retaining right now? Also, my OB had me drink a protein shake every day to make sure I was getting enough cals. I wouldn't be overly concerned.

    It happened to me! At one appt I had lost a lb. Then at another appt I had lost 2 lbs since the last appt. And I can't blame m/s. I haven't had any of that this entire pregnancy, and lord knows my appetite has been voracious. LO is still doing perfectly fine. My OB was not worried at all. I ate like a freakin maniac over Christmas. I mean whatever I wanted, I ate. It was pathetic. I just knew I had gained 5 lbs. But when I went to the Dr, I had only gained 1 lb. Try not to worry. Your LO will get what it needs from you.

    Thank you, mrstyson your experience does make me feel much much better.  I will try to hold on to the happy you just gave me for two days.
