  What has your doctor said about weight gain?

  I'm 25 weeks pregnant and have only gained 2kgs since my 12 week scan, I jumped on the scale today and noticed that I've now lost that 2kgs that I had gained. Bub is still crazy active and was measuring a day ahead at our last scan. Is this something to be worried about or has anyone else experienced losing weight instead of gaining it? I've not changed anything dramatically in my day to day life and I eat everything and anything all the time.

  Don't worry about it. My OB said she has some patients who lose weight throughout their pregnancy. As long as the baby is growing, there's nothing to worry about.

  As long as your OB is monitoring you and hasn't given you any reason to be concerned, I wouldn't worry about it.  Certainly ask about it at your next appointment if you need confirmation.  FWIW, with my first I lost 4 and then gained 19 - with this one I have lost 14 lbs so far.  (I have asked my OB about it and she's not concerned as I am eating healthy and baby is growing.)

  Obviously, listen to the doctor, but as long as you are eating healthy, exercising and the baby is growing and healthy, you should be fine. For many, weight gain doesn't happen until the end anyways. At 25 weeks, your baby is still pretty small. I lost about 15 lbs first trimester due to being so sick and have stayed at that weight since. I am 24 weeks currently. OB isn't worried.

  My last appointment I had lost 6lbs and my doc was not concerned at all since baby was growing fine. I'd check in with your doc of you are really worried.
