How many of us have Lost weight?

lindscnn1 · August 2015

I have read the posts about how much people are gaining, but how many of us are losing weight? No, it definitely is not bragging because I am concerned about how rapidly I am losing weight. I started this pregnancy at 142lbs and I am 5'5". I am 11 weeks 5 days and down to 128. The ms is mostly to blame but it would be nice to see other moms that are quickly losing weight like me. I can't be alone on this, right?

I wouldn't say i'm losing it quickly. I lost about 5 - 6 lbs due to MS so far. I continue to work out as usual though. So perhaps it's the combination. Working out makes me feel better for a few hours. I'm not worried though since it's not as fast as you and I did have a few pounds to lose. I'm happy to be starting out a little lower. Have you checked with your doctor?

No I haven't yet. I have been putting off the doctor thing. I know I should be going to a doctor already but since I have been there, done that, I feel like all they are going to do is tell me I am pregnant and start the blood draws. Okay, really I am just mortified of needles and that's why I am delaying it. But I have had an ultrasound, saw the heartbeat and the measurements are spot on. I know I will be scolded by the doctor once I go to one. This is #5 for us.

Oh, well then, you probably know if this happened with you before and you and baby were fine. It just seems rather fast. I suppose you're still well within the healthy BMI, so....

133 in the beginning, currently sitting at 127

Not too bad.

My apetite is starting to come back though...about to go the other way soon!!

I have lost some weight before but not at this rate. I am just curious how many of us are not gaining right now.

Sadly I've gained a few pounds. I haven't had much of an appetite and really haven't been snacking or eating excessively so I'm a little bummed. Hoping its healthy weight gain

I went for my 12 week appointment and I have lost 4 pounds since my 7.5 appointment. I throw up 10-20 times a day, but almost always between 6-11pm. I am able to eat a good breakfast and lunch, and then pretty much nothing survives from dinner. Sorry you are so sick!! Just keep hanging in there!!

I went to my second appointment today and I've lost about 8 lbs since my last appointment 4 weeks ago. I've been extremely nauseous and I'm not as bloated so that may account for it. Doc just wants me to eat smaller meals or healthy snacks more often.

Danisbishop-
I try to eat a snack every hour to hour and half, sometimes it helps if my stomach doesn't get close to empty. But then sometimes I throw up anyways. I got a pregnancy journal to track when I throw up, but there isn't really a pattern other than mostly at night. I live on Cheerios, saltine crackers with peanut butter, welches fruit snacks, and Luna bars! I also set my alarm 20 minutes earlier than I have to be awake, start eating a Luna bar (it's like a half sleep half munch kind of thing) and then by the time I have to get out of bed I have something in me. I hope you can find something that works for you!

I'm 8w4d and have lost 9lbs. I was worried because with my DD I gained like 10lbs in the first trimester. This pregnancy is so different. But my dr is not worried. At all. We'll see what the next 4weeks hold. I know how hard it is to get to the doctor when you are scared of needles, been-there-done-that, and don't want to pay every 4 weeks for what seems rote information but it may be time. Your dr will give you much more reassurance than us. And maybe refer you to a nutritionist which is helpful.

I have lost 14 pounds so far and am at 8 weeks 4 days. I had similar issues with my first pregnancy. Just try to drink as much as you can handle, and if you can keep food down at least a half an hour, your body will have taken a majority of nutrients out of it. If there is dizzy spells or even fainting, extreme weakness (not just tired but all over weak), lathargic like you can't wake up fully, any of those, then worry. If the ultrasound looks good, then I would think they are fine for now, try not to stress.

I've lost about 8 pounds so far. My doctor didn't seem concerned, so I'm not stressing. I also get sick at night, so I eat as much and as frequently as I can earlier in the day. Nothing seems to keep the nausea away at night, though.

Lost 5lbs right off the bat and holding steady even with eating more. And all this water retention Constipation and bloat. Sigh got to love first tri

I'm 9 weeks along right now and started losing weight immediately. Last week I was down about 14 pounds from pee pregnancy, but now that I'm finding some ways to cope with MS, I find myself eating more frequently and throwing up less. Hopefully LO is healthy in there, I was small to begin with!

Lost about 4 lbs between my 1st & 2nd doctors appointments. Doc mentioned it, but said it was totally fine and nothing to be concerned about at this point. (I'm 11 weeks)

I've lost a few pounds. I have been so sick lately I've barely been able to keep anything down. When I went to the dr. She was more concerned about my blood pressure than anything else

maelic · August 2015

Lost about 3lbs, doctor warned me to eat. Oh, doc, I eat and mostly gross food at that, it's the only thing that sounds appetizing. I lost about 5lbs during the first trimester with my daughter, she ended up 9lbs 8oz. I'll catch up.
