Lost 5kg! Should I be worried?

Question

Hey ladies,

I'm only 7 weeks but when I was 4 weeks I started to slowly lose weight and have nearly lost 2kg in the last week! Just so nauseous all the time but no vomiting and I get very full very quickly! Just worried as I was a pretty healthy person, so losing 5kg is a little worrying as it feels like I will lose more non-intentionally. Should I be worried and see a doctor? Any advice to overcome this would be great :)

Answer

I lost 6lbs in the first trimester due to nausea so I think your ok

Answer

I lost a lot of weigh on and off with my first pregnancy but then she came out at almost 8 pounds...this time around I've lost none only gained and with just about 3 weeks left I've gained 18 pounds so far.  Don't stress or freak yourself out...doctors will let you know if you have anything to worry about!!!!

Answer

I have lost approximately 10kg from my pre-pregnacy weight (I'm 14wks now). Like you, I felt nauseated constantly until week 7 or 8- around that time my food aversions started to fade, but I actually vomited after breakfast, and sometimes dinner. All I could reliably stomach and keep down was Vegemite toast! 
I am pretty chunky, so my doctor isn't concerned, but she said that if I keep losing weight now that I'm not feeling as ill. Hopefully you will start to feel better soon, and if you are feeling really terrible, I would recommend talking to your doctor about it.

Answer

I lost over 25lbs my first trimester and into my second. Finally started gaining some of it back in my third. Just make sure you drink lots of fluids. If you are concerned speak with your OB and she can give you meds that can help with nausea.

Answer

Don't worry, I lost 3-4kg in the first trimester, and I'm finally gaining weight now at 25 weeks.

Answer

Yes. See your doc. It's too much weight loss for that short time!

Answer

I lost around 11lbs from 6 weeks to 8 weeks, do you have nausea or anything? I stopped eating and even water made me want to throw up, mil kept complimenting how skinny I was before we told her about the pregnancy lol
