I went to the doctor yesterday and was weighed, I lost three pounds since the last time I went which was a month ago. Let me give a little background. Before I got pregnAnt I was 130. When I went to my first prenatal appt. I weighed 127 due to the nausea/sickness kicking in. I was 8 weeks at that appointment. 1 month later was weighed again and went all the way down to 123. But see, I expected to see some weight loss that time because I hadn't been eating enough due to lots of nausea, not so much vomiting. So then about two weeks ago at 14 weeks I started feeling better actually. I've noticed I've started eating a whole lot better. Now I can actually start and finish my meals without having to stop eating In the middle of it because I would feel sick. But now I lost 3 pounds!! I don't see how... I eat a whole lot better, even feel my bump growing. And I don't feel like I've lost weight because my clothes doesn't feel any looser. All they did was give me a blood test to check my thyroid and they gave me an appt. To see the nutritionist this Friday. Do you or anyone else you know ever lost weight during pregnancy for no reason. It'd be one thing if I was sick but I'm not anymore, Appetite back and everything. Thanks for any insight!
 
hey honey

ive lost weight with all 3 of my pregnancies

with my first i lost weight up until 18 weeks i lost 15lbs

with my second i lost weight up until 16 weeks i lost about 12lbs

and this time ive still not gained any weight and at the mo my weight loss is at about 7lbs

i know its worrying but try not to it could be your about to start putting weight on i had 2 healthy girls one was 8lb1oz no 2 was 7lb15oz so my weight loss had no effect on them

and i actually never went over my pre pregnancy weight the whole time i was pregnant even at 39 weeks i was still 4lbs under what i was before pregnant

hope things start to get better soon
 
I've lost weight too. Dont' worry about it as long as bump is growing and your healthy apart from th weight loss which isn't a major problem xx
 
Dont worry, with my first at my 16 weeks i had lost two and a half stone its perfectly normal dont worry :) xx
 
hon, remember your body is working VERY hard even when you are sat on the sofa hehe! i lost weight last time and had a very healthy bubba. it's nothing to worry about, your body is just working overtime creating a baby!!
 
i had a load of stress with my partner early on in my pregnancy and lost half a stone in a week. i was really worried but midwife assured me baby would be fine!
even though im now nearly 27 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby iv only put on 3lb altogether because of me losing weight early on! so im sure you will be fine xx
 
I lost weight in the beginning and only just now at 26 weeks have returned to my pre pregnancy weight. So I'm officially at a weight gain of......0!

I was concerned too but when I spoke to my doctor he said everyone's body is different and so long as you aren't starving yourself everything is fine. :D
