losing weight?

[kittykat7210]

i believe i'm around 8 weeks pregnant at the moment, i have been eating for england these last few weeks, eating what i can (mainly big macs and greggs) i had 4 caramel rockys last night!!! but i am losing weight, last week alone i lost 3 pounds, I'm really worried this will have a negative effect on my baby, i've not had morning sickness, i've had terrible nausea (which i combat by eating...all the time...) but not thrown up so i cant be losing weight from that!!

can someone help because this is my first baby and i'm really nervous :S

I wouldn't be concerned. A LOT of people lose weight in there first trimester, some lose quite a bit of weight, but it almost always never effects the baby at all. Be glad that you can eat and drink fluids, that enough is reassuring. Good Luck!

It's perfectly normal to lose a little weight in the beginning with ms and all. A lot of women do. I'm 12w1d and since the start I will lose a couple pounds, then gain it back, then lose more again. Lots of fluctuation. I'm currently about 3lbs less than when I got pregnant, for now . I may end up putting it back on again. And I haven't even had much ms with this one(just some mild nausea that comes and goes.) My doctor isn't concerned at all, as long as I'm taking my vitamins. He will just keep track of it as I get farther along.(I do have a bit extra in the weight department to start with, so they don't really want me to gain more than 15-20lbs through the whole pregnancy)

i'm just a bit worried because before the pregnancy i only weighed 108 pounds, i'm now down to 103 and its not healthy for me to lose much more /: xx

Yep, I've lost 5 lbs since I've been pregnant.

This was exactly me before becoming pregnant I kept on losing weight until 12 weeks and got down to 103.5 lbs. Your metabolism is just in overdrive, it takes a lot of work for you body to grow a baby and right now there are vital functions developing. Just make sure you are eating healthy, forget the fast food, that's more unhealthy than losing a few lbs ( I know it's easier said than done).
