Low weight baby?

Question

I'm currently 14 weeks and I've actually lost 10 pounds since being pregnant. I've been eating but still losing weight. Does this mean I will have a baby that has a low birth weight? I thought I was supposed to be gaining

Answer

Nope. Have you been sick? If so ask your doctor for meds, if not then it just might be that your eating and drinking healthier. I lost 17 lbs with my first, I got meds from the doctor and gained weight.  My son was almost 9 lbs.

Answer

I've been losing weight recently, due to eating healthier and drinking a lot more water! Definitely doesn't mean anything bad.

Answer

I lost 15 lbs first and second trimester due to eating healthier. Dr was fine because it is diet changes and I'm still eating. 36 weeks now and measuring on track, I've stopped losing weight but I haven't gained anything back. The last few weeks is when baby starts putting on most of it's weight anyway. Expecting to gain some back this last month.

Answer

Don't worry at 14w I had lost 22 pounds because I was sick. And at 20w I have only regained 3lbs my eating habits changed so I've been losing weight.

Answer

Not necessarily Im 29wk and im still 10lbs down from my pre pregnancy weight. Baby is measuring within expected range.

Answer

No...
