lost 5 lbs in a week?!

Question

I haven't been able to eat much of anything this past week due to extreme morning sickness. I just stopped on the scale today and found out I lost more than 5 lbs. I'm very concerned about this, even not being pregnant 5 lbs in one week is very bad!

Answer

You need to let your doctor know. You may need fluids or medicine to make sure that you and baby stay healthy.

Answer

5lbs in a week is not good. Make sure (if you can) fluids and protein for baby. 
I'm a bigger girl, I lost 6lbs in 4 weeks and the ob yelled at me. 
I had hyperemesis with my son, and have that Diagnosis this go around too. 
Diclegis has been a life saver for me this time, which my dr didn't offer with my son.

Answer

I lost 10lbs my first month. I'm 9 weeks now and just starting to eat again. I threw up everything even water, the smell of food alone makes me sick to my stomach. I was so worried that there could be no way the babies (twins) was getting enough nutrition to survive but long and behold when I went in for my 8 week ultrasound they are actually weighing in at over 9 weeks. So surprised and relieved to hear that they are doing great. The doc said it's fine and normal to lose a weight at first it will pick back up soon. The babies are sucking everything they can get from you so don't worry your self. I was precribed meds to help out with the sickness so now I'm starting to eat again. Good luck make sure you talk to your doc.

Answer

Go see your doctor. Bub is likely fine but you may have hyperemesis gravidarum which they can give meds and fluids for xx
