Losing weight instead of gaining?

[Mummy to be x]

In the first trimester up until around 10 weeks pregnant I was sick, a little off my food and lost about 7 pounds, I soon put 5 of those pounds back on once my appetite came back

Now I'm 14 weeks and weighed myself this morning and I've actually lost more weight, about 6lbs. I've not done anything to change my diet, I've been quite naughty when it comes to food, so I've no idea why this has happened, should I be concerned at all? I thought I should be gaining not losing

Don't worry. As long as you are taking your vitamins baby get what he or she needs.

My nurse actually just scolded me last time over this. I have yet to gain a pound. She told me "you know you're supposed to gain weight when pregnant."

I just shrugged it off. I'm not as hungry as I thought id be and with the headaches I've been getting even less so. You're body is going to do what's right!

I wouldn't worry I lost a stone in first trimester and I haven't put any of it back on yet and I've eaten a lot of naught things. I know at some time I will put it back on and more. So enjoy it at the moment while it last's

I'm guessing it must pretty normal mummy to be. My weight seems to be yo-yoing a bit I gained about 4kgs(8 pounds or so) and now I've lost 2kgs (I think that's about 4 pounds). I'm 15 weeks now. I'm guessing I'll probably gain it back soon. I was worried at first because with my first DS I gained like 60 pounds!! It's good to hear other mamas are the same though

Try not to worry your baby wont go without. Try to keep hydrated and its great that you are actually eating. Im only just getting an appetite back but i have also lost around 6kgs(13pound) and neither my dr or midwife is worried. My last pregnancy i lost 12kgs(26pounds) by 16wks and only put back on about half of that during the rest of my pregnancy and i delivered a very healthy 8lbs 4oz baby girl!

I'm still down several pounds from pre pregnancy, and I was small to begin with. I do have a little belly though, and have had a comment or two that my face is looking gaunt, so I think I'm losing other places and gaining for baby still. My doctor said he wouldn't get on me for losing/not gaining until 20 weeks. And I'm not eating carefully at all. Lol. But baby has put me off coffee, soda and chocolate, which were three of my loves before, so probably took a good chunk out of my calorie intake.
