Is it normal to lose weight on the first trimester?

Question

Hi mommies! I am just curious. I weighed 47.7 kg during my first visit at my OB at 7weeks. Now I tried to weigh at home and it appeared that I lost 2 kg and is actually 45kg now at 10weeks. Is this something normal? My morning sickness occurs minimal and my diet is just fine. I eat regular meals too. My next ultrasound will be in 2 weeks and I hope the baby is doing fine regardless of the weight loss. 🤞🏻🙈

Answer

I've lost weight and my doctor said it's only a concern if you lose more than 10% of your total body weight. Luckily the vomiting stopped when I got down to 46kg, but I'm 12 weeks and haven't put any back on yet. I've heardi it's common though.

Answer

I’m 12 weeks and have lost about 10lbs due to nausea. Which is amazing because what I can eat has generally been carbs and garbage. It hasn’t been a concern so far and my nausea is getting better as is my eating. Obviously discuss it with your doctor if you’re worried

Answer

You are fine, I’m 11w and have lost 5lbs and docs aren’t concerned. Weight gain and loss depends on the person and as long as the baby is healthy the docs won’t be too concerned. With my son I never lost anything in the first trimester but only gained 15lbs, doc was never concerned saying that everyone is different and what our bodies need are different too. Breath mama, your body knows what it is doing and you are doing great.
