Losing weight while pregnant?

Question

So I'm nearly 14 weeks now and I have lost about 8 pounds rather than gaining anything. I was a bit overweight before getting pregnant and all anyone has said to me recently is that I am looking thinner. Not sickly or unhealthy, just smaller. Has anyone else experienced weight loss instead of weight gain? I HAVE read that sometimes when women are overweight pre-pregnancy that that could possibly lose weight... but it just seems strange and concerning.

Answer

Yup. I've lost about 8lbs and started overweight as well. My doctor told me that the 1st trimester is always a toss-up and not to worry at all. Many women lose weight cause morning sickness and food aversion. Now that I'm in 2nd trimester, she said gaining slow and steady is key. Women who are overweight should only gain 12-20lb anyways.
Btw you look great! Glowing!!

Answer

I lost about 7lbs during week6-8. And ever since, haven't gained anything back! But Morning sickness is the reason for me I guess. Today marks 13w!

Answer

With my last child I started the pregnancy weighing 272 and didn't gain or lose any weight during the entire pregnancy. The day I had him I lost 50lbs and a couple weeks late I had lost another 15lbs. I give natural birth to a beautiful 8lb5oz little boy a week late, no complications. I wouldn't over analyze it.

Answer

I've lost about 8lbs due to morning sickness. Since I'm overweight my doctor isn't concerned at all. He just wants to know if there's a huge swing in my weight, either up or down. But 8lbs in the first trimester is fine.

Answer

Yea, I lost 8lbs in 1st trimester and I am 5'4 130lbs. I've now stopped losing weight and have an appetite. My doctor said the weight loss is probably because of not having any alcohol and eating really healthy. When usually I drink wine a lot and am not the healthiest eater.

Answer

I lost weight with my 1st pregnant and I've lost nearly 20 with this one.
