Anybody loose weight in the 2nd/ 3rd trimester?

Question

So I gained 10 pounds right away when I first got pregnant, and continued to gain weight in the first half of my second trimester. But I went to the doctors today and I lost 4 pounds. I'm about to be 29weeks. I eat pretty much the same, other than I cut back on sweets and junk food, could that be why I lost 4 pounds? I'm just worried my baby isn't gaining weight, because I'm not. My midwife is out of town and I asked the fill in doctor and all he said was I'm not sure just continue to eat healthy, but I just want an explanation

Answer

I've lost 2 lbs from week 26 to week 31. Which is funny, because my diet hasn't changed and my doctor was giving me a hard time about gaining too quickly! I've been holding steady at a 18 lb weight gain for almost a month and a half. Doctor is not concerned at all.

Answer

I always lose weight when I am pregnant. I too gained about 10lbs early on. Now my net gain is somewhere around 4lbs. Baby is growing just fine. I'm 31 weeks and this is my third pregnancy.  With my second I only gained a total of 5 lbs, so technically left the hospital thinner than the day I got pregnant.

Always good to talk to your dr/midwife, BUT usually your body does what it needs to do. 😀

Answer

Changes in diet can really change weight without much effort. Cutting out sweets, sodas, sugary coffees, fast food, and energy drinks has me at -12lbs with twins! Babies are measuring perfect, and Im eating 280p calories a DAY!!! But because theyre much healthier calories and not empty calories, and my sugar intake is around 12g/day, water intake at 120oz/day etc, the weight is just falling off even though I eat MORE now and not less. I wouldnt stress since you made healthier diet changes before the weight loss :)

Answer

You clearly know to talk to your doc about it but I would say if you cut out junk and sweets that is probably it. I just started doing the same actually. Failed my one hour glucose test so using this time until my three hour test to cut out the junk and sweets.
