Lose weight while pregnant?

Question

Has anyone safely lost a little weight while pregnant in second trimester??
If it’s possible I’d like to try to lose a few lbs bc my blood pressure seems to be elevating.

Answer

I lost about a pound after gaining 16. I also didn’t gain more in that month span. I began tracking my calories and watching my macros. The next month I stopped  tracking and gained 8 pounds. You can intentionally lose weight for health while pregnant.

Answer

I lost weight up until 16 weeks (about 8-10lbs). Then at my 20 week checkup I was up 1lb (so still down overall). My understanding is that as an overweight woman I should only gain what the baby, fluid etc weighs.

Answer

I always lose weight in my pregnancies. Pre pregnancy weight I was 254 now I’m 257 and I’m 36 weeks. Doctors never bring up my weight.

Answer

I was low carb, no sigar before I got pregnant and lost 65 lbs. In May I decided to go off low carb, still eating healthy but also be able to give into some sugar cravings. I gained about 18 lbs between then and now and I regret adding in any sugar so we just started backup on low carb, but keeping fruits in my diet. I am hoping this helps keep my weight gain lower.
