Lost weight while pregnant?

Question

I've had really bad nausea and vomiting for the first few weeks and I weighed myself today and I've lost 3lbs since getting pregnant! I know I'm supposed to be gaining weight, not losing it. I've been eating normally but can't keep much down. Has anyone else had this issue? Or have tips? I'm 9 weeks pregnant.

Answer

Don't worry, losing weight is fairly common during the first trimester. So is gaining or staying the same actually. Eat what you can when you can until the nausea subsides, and then you can focus on eating more and healthier.

Answer

I've lost 10lbs because of no appetite and nausea. I've only thrown up a handful of times. I am 9 weeks along and I'm struggling to find food that I can stomach. Still, I can only eat a little at a time. It sucks but I'm getting more good days than bad now! Hang tight and try to find food that you can eat. Don't stick to just healthy food if you're losing weight. Try anything!

Answer

You technically aren't supposed to start gaining much weight until your second trimester. Unless you are losing an excessive amount of weight, I wouldn't worry about it. I lost about 10 lbs my first trimester in my last pregnancy but made up for it in my second and third trimesters... 😁
