Re: weight loss while pregnant...

Hi, final countdown for you now!!!!

With my last 2 (including current pregnancy), I lost more weight than I gained, and the only person who was concerned about it was me!!!!  My doctor actually said that my body could cope with it and that as long as bubs was growing (and oh boy, no room  in there!!!) then it was a none issue.  I didn't put on any weight until about 2 months ago, and found, I had put on 4 kgs!!!!!  Before that, I had lost about 7kgs.  I don't like to think what I weigh now, but will know at my next check up!lol.

The fact that you haven't put on weight and that you have lost a little indicates your body had a healthy 'reserve' to begin with, so you wouldn't even notice it.  True for me, I'm a lot thinner in my legs (biggest part of me!) but the rest of me is the same and my belly is huge!!!!!!!

Re: weight loss while pregnant...

I was the same as yummymummy. I lost a lot of weight when I was pregnant with my first. I didn't actually put on any weight until around 6 months after she was born. If bub is still growing well and everything else is normal I wouldn't be too worried. Oh, my first came out a healthy 8"2..... more than healthy!

Just keep doing what you're doing and if you are really concerned then maybe see the doc or midwife to put your mind at ease.

Take care,

fi xoxo

As long as you are having regular check ups and they are keeping an eye on bub everything will be fine, with my first son I lost huge amounts of weight I went from a size 14 to a size 10, he came out a very healthy big boy x

Hi,

I actually came out of my second preganacy 5kg lighter than when i began. My ob said that it wasn't a problem and my daughter was born fine.

If everything feels fine and your midwife thinks it isn't a problem then i would just be happy, it's 2kg less to loose once baby is here.

Good Luck

Juzzy

Re: weight loss while pregnant...

my weight didn't change til i was 24 weeks. and then near 30 weeks dropped a kilo. i made up for it in the last month though :)

if you did a big wee or poo or were more active you'll lose weight, also you could have been retaining water and you've lost it. not putting on wieght in a week or losing a little bit is not a big concern. i know some ladies who ended up the same weight at the end of their pregnancy, they were so sick with morning sickness they lost weight in the beginning.

if the midwife isn't concerned then i'd take their lead :)
