Anyone else losing weight?

AshleyEric609 · October 2012

I can't keep/put weight on. No matter what I eat, or how much I eat...and trust me, I EAT.

My Dr isn't too concerned yet, but I never had this issue with my other two pregnancies so I'm worried.

Is anyone else dealing with this?

I haven't lost any, but I haven't gained any either. I did have a lower starting weight last time, but I definitely gained steadily from the beginning of the second trimester on too.

My weight seems to fluctuate no matter what I do. Last month, I gained 8 lbs, This month, I gained for 2 weeks and lost for 2 weeks - for a zero net gain. Dr. said it is not uncommon and he would tell me when it was time to be worried.

I only lost about 3 to 4 pounds total but I'm just now breaking even from where I started.

I wouldn't be too concerned with weight at 15 weeks. I have only gained a total of 7 or 8 LBS at 21 weeks

I had lost 5 pounds in the first tri. I gained 4 back and have lost one or 2 again. I'm ok with this since I still have weight to lose from DS.

I'm still down 5# from pre pregnancy weight, which is mind boggling to me because I eat and EVERYTHING is bigger! Also I haven't been exercising and I usually gain weight easily. I assume this trimester will see an explosion of weight gain, but time will tell.

I have the opposite problem. Today my doctor told me that I should have gained about 10 lbs by the 20 week mark... I have gained 9 lbs and I am only 17 weeks. Ick.

Yes. I'm not sure how many lbs I'm down- probably 5? Last time, I think it was a bit more at this point. With DS, when I hadn't gained by my 21 week appointment, the OB said I needed to gain a pound per week minimum. I ate and ate and ended up gaining 17 lbs total during the pregnancy. This time around, I'm still losing. I am hoping to gain next time and avoid the lecture

I am, but I am overweight so it is actually something everyone is happy about... baby is "helping" me lose weight - is what my midwife says. I'm sure this isn't helpful to you since you're probably in a different situation. If your doctor isn't concerned, I wouldn't worry.

I have lost 6 Ibs since I got pregnant. I think its because now I have no desire to over indulge. Whereas before I got pregnant I tended to wayy over eat. So its a combination of stopping when I am full and getting sick I think. My doctor recommended that I drink BOOST drinks with every meal. They are delicious and they make me feel great! try it!

Yes, but I am also overweight and have gestational diabetes so it's probably a good thing. My doctors don't seem at all concerned with my weight loss. My guess is that if I continuing to lose into my third trimester then maybe they will get worried. I wouldn't worry to much if your doctor isn't concerned. I think with my first pregnancy I lost in the the first few months then towards the middle to end of my 2nd trimester I started to gain.

I'm in that boat again with DD I was the same weigh, but she did gain weight. Dr. wasn't worried

Lost 10lbs so far. I've been much more ill with this one than my first! I'm still pretty sick all day and can't eat what I want. Pretty much living on eggs and cereal. I'm up 1lb now from when I started and I'm hoping my appetite changes so I can eat more for this baby! I hope it's just as easy to lose those 10lbs after he comes out!!
