Lost weight going into 2nd Trimester

[jadza]

So my Doctor totally freaked me out today apparently since my last appointment 4 weeks ago I've lost 2kg. And he wasn't happy with that. My Mum assures me its normal. Mostly because I have a quite physical job and my diet has been HEAPS more healthy. I'm not exactly skinny. I was about 80kg before I got pregnant. So my question is, can it be normal to lose weight during pregnancy? Has anyone else experience this? I'm currently 13 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My last check up I was at 9 weeks and 6 days pregnant and lost 2kg in that time. He did however find a healthy heart beat of 142bpm. But I am still worried. Please help!

I've lost 6kg so far this pregnancy, no one seems to have even noticed that my scan weight was different to my booking in weight, I lost a lot of weight with my son too due to morning sickness, I soon put it all back on and then some though!

Thanks! I'm feeling much better

can lose or gain were all different. If you was classed as under weight to begin with it would just be something to montior

At 16 weeks I've lost ten pounds. I think the dr would be happy about my loss as I started out heavy

I'm 18 weeks and I lost 11lbs so far, haven't gained any back. My doc doesn't seem concerned!

I was told that I am losing weight too.... he told me to try to eat larger portions of my healthy foods....

I lost 18.5 pounds between weeks 6-16, i put on 1 pound between week 16 and 23, and lost 1 pound between week 23 and now, so I am still 18.5 under my pre-pregnancy weight. everyone is different so I wouldn't be too concerned. if your doctor is concerned he may send you for some blood work to check your thyroid but other than that it is probably nothing.

Same story here, I was at one point down 22lbs have since managed to put back on 6lbs but at almost 24weeks pregnant i am still -16lbs my pre-pregnancy weight and my bump is huge. Midwife doesn't seem concerned

At 22 weeks, I had lost 18 pounds. Doctor wasn't concerned at all. Nothing to worry about

I'm down a stone and a half. I was progressively losing weight since October last year though. My diet is good, I'm consuming enough to sustain both myself and the wee one. But I'm exercising as I was before, and lots of running around after a 2 year old.
My midwife and doctor are both happy with my weight and size, I could afford to lose it.
It's different for every woman. As long as you are eating properly, a good healthy diet, you can only be doing good.

I've lost 9lbs since my pre-pregnancy weight. I started gaining quite a bit right after we moved house but once we got settled and got our lifestyles back in place (healthy eating, exercise, etc.), it went down. Looks like it's normal from what the other ladies say.

 

[jadza]

That's great to know!

Lost 4 kg up til 16 weeks with my son. Eventually started gaining at around 20wk and by 38wk had gained 10kg. Lost 15 when I delivered him and ended up 5kg lighter than pre preg.
I'm nearly 18 weeks and have lost 5/6kg so far.

I have lost just over 4kg since 8 weeks due to bad morning sickness. My doctor wasn't concerned, I think mostly because now I am slowly starting to eat normally and not puke!!! Don't worry, as long as you're eating fine your bubs is fine too!
