Loosing weight while pregnant normal?

calebellamom23 · August 2014

Im 13 weeks right now. I am a first time mom. I was wondering if its okay to be loosing 1-2 pounds or more a week. before i got pregnant i lost 20 pounds in a month. I dont know if its due to the fact that i was eating very healthy before my pregnancy or is it because I hate fried food , i hate the smell of fried food oh my such a picky eater. I hate junk food . Im all salads and steamed veggies fruits and such. I wasnt much of a meat eater before now i hate it with a passion. Im not inmaternity clothes like i said im loosing weight. Anyone else loosing weight? Or am i the only weird one ? Yes im a little paranoyed i am a first timer .

If you look through some of the pay threads you'll notice that this is a huge worry for the other moms here, too. Every person is different and every pregnancy is different so your OB will tell you when you need to worry about your weight loss (or gain). Many women lose weight in the first trimester whether they are thick or thin. If you're really worried then you should call and speak with your OB.

I recommend looming through the other posts. I think you'll find helpful and comforting info from the other lovely ladies here.

Losing weight is okay in the first trimester. I actually lost. 4 pounds in my first trimester. From all the morning sickness. But I just reached my second trimester and my appetite is coming back slowly. You should be okay though.

I've yoyo'd throughout first trimester. I'm still at a 1.2# deficit from when I got pregnant. My doc was not concerned... And we'll gain enough moving forward. :-)

This is up to your OB/midwife. If you were overweight/normal prior to pg, losing a few lbs in 1st Tri is ok. If you were underweight or a teen, s/he will be more concerned.

I've lost about 10 lbs in 1st Tri each time. This is from giving up alcohol, eating somewhat healthier, and nausea/not eating much. I gained 25 lbs overall with DS.

I've lost 8 lbs since I've gotten pregnant and I'm 16 weeks. My midwife doesn't seem concerned at this point.

You posted this exact same thread on August 20, nothing has changed in the answers since then.

ANNNNDDD I am an idiot who realized this is the same thread from there, just resurrected.
