Is anyone else losing weight?

Nekita · October 2014

7w6d today and I'm 3 or 4 pounds down. Aren't we supposed to be gaining a few? Is anyone else losing weight?

Eating is so not my favorite thing these last few weeks but I'm trying! 109 this morning.

I did. The first two weeks I lost 5 pounds because I had stopped drinking alcohol.

I've also lost 7 lbs so far. I lost 10 lbs in first tri with my last pregnancy. It's not unusual.

I've lost 3-4 lbs also. I wouldn't worry about it. You'll gain it back as soon as MS passes.

I wish, lol. I've gained three. But I think it's okay. I've read a bunch of times some ladies will lose at first because of morning sickness and then gain later. I would just do what you can and if nothing else make sure you're taking your prenatals so baby can get some kind of nutrients. Best of luck keeping things down to you!

I've always lost 10 lbs in the first trimester with my other pregnancies.

I lost 15lbs in my first trimester last time. I was really overweight though. My pre pregnancy weight this time around is 15lbs lower than my first pre pregnancy weight. This time, so far (still way early), I haven't gained or lost.

Since finding out exactly 3 weeks ago, I've lost 15 pounds. I started this pregnancy really overweight {courtesy of some other health issues}, so my doctor is okay with the loss. It's been a mix of morning sickness and food aversions.

I have lost five, mainly because I have been a little overweight, and prior to getting the BFP, I had drastically changed my diet and upped the exercise. I haven't changed anything since finding out I am pg, except to add a little grain back in.

I know a lot of women lose because they stop drinking alcohol, add in fruits and veggies, and drink more water so they don;t feel as hungry as before. Then there is the MS of course.

Nothing to worry about!

I weighed what I should when I got my BFP, and now I'm down 8 pounds. Doctor is pushing zofran so that I will hopefully stop puking and start gaining weight. But in my last pregnancy, I took zofran around the clock and it didn't help at all. I still lost weight in the first tri. So this time I'm just avoiding zofran if I can, for no reason other than it just doesn't help me and it does cost a good chunk of money. I eat every day, I just puke a lot and have a lot of aversions. But in my last pregnancy, in total I gained 34 pounds. So I'm not concerned. I know I'll gain it all back and then some.

I've lost 4 lbs since last Wednesday. I only have nausea, but not throwing up.

However, I'm eating healthier with smaller meals, so that's probably contributing to the weight loss.

I wish! You really don't need to be gaining weight in the first tri. I am trying not to gain but I think I've gained a few. I'm overweight so I want to do this pregnancy weight gain better than the last where I gained almost 50 pounds.

Yep, and I am already very thin so it's not an ideal situation. It happened during my other two pregnancies too. I bounced back after the ms passed.

Nekita · October 2014

Thanks for all the replies. I know losing weight used to sound like an awesome idea, but right now not so much. The crazy thing is I'm losing while my boobs have grown two sizes! This sick all the time thing really has to stop.

With my daughter and son I lost a lot before gaining. I was very sick with my son and went from 125 to barely 105 but by the end of the pregnancy I weighed 132lbs so all in all it worked out. No matter what just know the baby will take from your body what it needs so do not feel bad that you are losing not gaining. This pregnancy so far I have lost about 3lbs.
