Anyone else losing weight?

Sara*n*Ryan · January 2011

I've lost eight pounds in a month. I've got the weight to spare, it just seems unusual to be losing weight without trying to. Probably since I used to try all the time with little success! I have had decent m/s, but I don't think I've had enough to be losing weight.

I am not losing but I am not gaining. Of course I am about 3 - 5 lbs heavier at the end of the day however, each morning when I step on the scale, I weight the same that I did before finding out I was pregnant!

I am hoping to keep this up and not gain the 42 lbs I did with DD! It all came off and then some but I was a bit out of control .

When the doc asked what my starting weight was... it was 3 lbs lower than what I weighted in at my 10 week appt. so in theory I am up 3 but that is with clothes and after breakfast and coffee.... it is all relative

The 8 I am down is according to my Dr.'s scale, with breakfast and clothes, etc... She said not to worry for now and that we would see what it is at my next appt. That made me feel better, but it's still there in the back of my mind.

In the first 6-7 weeks of being pg, I lost 6 lbs because I was so sick. I've gained most of it back now, so I'm essentially starting my second tri next week at my starting weight.

It's nervewracking, but my doctor said it was okay as long as I begin gaining a lb a week in my second tri since I have a healthy BMI.

I think I have lost a few (maybe 3) since my first appointment but not positive. I haven't had m/s but I think cutting out the soda and unhealthy snacks has really helped. I'm not really worried about it unless you were underweight before BFP.

I had my nurse's appointment last week. She said not to worry about weight gain and lose at this point. That my body is changing like crazy everyday and lose and gain are both normal. As long as it is nothing drastic it's nothing to worry about at this point.

I gained 12 lbs by week 7/8. But I haven't gained anymore since. I swear 6 of those lbs are in my boobs, 3 lbs each. LOL

Seriously though, I told the nurse and she agreed that the quick weight gain I had is from all the carbs I eating. Last week was the first time in a while I could start to eat veggies and things again. For awhile the only thing that I could get down was mac & cheese and mashed potatoes and things like that - which is NOT my usual diet at all.

I am down 13lbs.. I lost with my son too. Since I am heavier my OB is not concerned at all

I'm down about 12 lbs so far, but I also have the weight to spare.
Last time, I was down 25lbs from my pre-preg weight at my final appointment. My doctors werent worried at all, and I was quite happy being that much lighter at the end.

I've been losing weight as well down only 2 lbs. From what I've read it could be that we aren't taking in the extra 300 calories that we need and the LO is already taking in the nutrients it needs, so in the end we are getting deprived because the LO will always get what it needs.

Yup, I'm down about 5 lbs, but I definitely have some to spare. My doctor said unless you start out underweight, you don't need to gain any weight until 2nd trimester, when you should start gaining regularly right up until the end. He said during the 1st tri, baby can get everything he/she needs w/out any weight gain (and with a pre-natal vitamin!)

animalcrckers · January 2011

with DD i lost 7 pounds in first tri, mainly because nothing sounded appealing to me & i had no appetite. With this one, i'm still the same weight as when i started. i'm not worried because i know it will all pack on eventually.

LJR 84 · January 2011

Oh, don't worry...you'll gain plenty soon. A lot of people lose weight, or don't gain at all in the first tri.

robnnoel · January 2011

I had lost 5 lbs so far, but have gained about 2 back. I have had bad m/s, well it was mainly at night, I dont think I ate dinner for about 3 weeks. I am not beginning to feel better and being able to eat more so I think I will probably start gaining regularly here soon. I wouldnt worry about weight loss right now, as long as you feel like you are getting in the right amount of healthy food everyday!

MrsCase1 · January 2011

i lost 7 pounds and held steady. i started off overweight. now i am days away from my 2nd trimester and have gained 4 pounds.

kermiefrg · January 2011

I'm down a couple and I'm SHOCKED. You'd think with a belly, bigger boobs, and bigger hips, I'd be more than 2 lbs heavier than I was in the summer before my m/c. I don't weight myself very often, so I bet I just fluctuate a lot. I keep all my food down and eat more now, so I don't know what the deal is.

Mrs. Stew · January 2011

I'm down a couple pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight...but there was about a month where nothing sounded good and I just wasn't eating much. We'll see what the scale at the doctor's says today.

Uwannalala · January 2011

I am down 7 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight. I was at my highest weight ever unfortunately before I got pregnant, so honestly its been a pleasant surprise since the doctor isn't worried at all.

I lost about 5 pounds during the first trimester, but I'm at 150 and 5'9", so I think I'm curvy enough not to have to worry. I know that it's VERY important to start gaining now that I'm in the second trimester, so I'll moniter it more carefully now...
