ok ladies.. I'm about 6 weeks and 5 days. I have been so sick since I found out. I am defenitly not fat.. But my bmi says im a little bit overweight. So for the past week I have been more sick then usual. I can't hold anything down. My stomach hurts sooo bad. And as of last Wednesday I weighed 172 pounds. And today i weighed 163. That's 9 pounds in 6 days?? I'm going to my doctor on Thursday but I'm so anxious to know. Has this happened to anyone before?? Should I be worried? Is it normal to loose weight from morning sickness??

    I have not experienced this myself, but I have definitely heard about it. Kate Middleton had HG and that is defined when you lose 10% of your bodyweight or more. I'm sure that your doctor will want to keep a close eye on your weight, and if it does turn out to be HG, although it is not pleasant, it is definitely treatable and I'm sure that you are in good hands. I will be praying for you! Please do update us on what the doctor says?

  • I lost 15 pounds in my first trimester with my daughter bc I was so sick (and I'm already pretty small) it happens...I'm sorry you're suffering through the sickness. Have it checked out with your doctor and she/he can prescribe you something and keep an eye on it

  • I lost weight with my first pregnancy. MS sucks.
  • I lost a lot of weight quick with my first one.  The nurse weighed me 3 different times and then said she was concerned and asked if I was eating.  I was really,really sick, I couldn't even look at food!  My midwife said it was perfectly normal.  Now with my second, not too much morning sickness...THANKFULLY!!!

  • Sick all the time with my first by the end of the pregnancy I had lost over 30 pounds
  • I lost 2-3 pounds in 2 weeks bc of it.... Doctor said its normal :) I'm sure I've put on weight now bc I've been eating snacks every 2 hours and it's helped a ton
  • With my first I didn't really even have morning sickness and I still lost 6 lbs before I started gaining weight. It's totally normal. Your body is using a lot of extra energy and nutrients to grow this baby! Just talk with your doctor and make sure it's still within reason and they can prescribe something for the nausea if they are worried about you not getting enough nutrition.
  • I didn't lose weight because of MS but because of a brutal stomach virus I had last week for about 3 days. Since I've been better, I've been really trying to keep some food in my belly at all times. When you're running on empty, that's when nausea can really take its toll. Try bland foods like crackers or nuts just to keep some fuel in that belly and get on top of that nausea. And like always, remember its all for a greater cause! ;)
  • I am only down 6 pounds as of today. Not too bad. Hoping not to gain a ton either. But eating healthy and doing best i can for baby.
