Lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks?!

Question

I am currently 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I started my pregnancy at 130 lbs and now I am down to 121. I haven't thrown up and the only discomfort I get is the occasional upset stomach or heart burn. I have been eating but not as well as I could be? I haven't seen my doctor and honestly, will probably switch because she doesn't like phone calls to the office, she prefers you hold your questions until your appointment. We have 2 more weeks before we see her, should we be worried now about my weight?

Answer

My body did this and I was so worried then it dawned on me... I stopped drinking alcohol. Lots of empty calories saved!

Answer

I'm 5'2 and 95 pounds. During early pregnancy I lost weight due to the fact I started eating right. Maybe your just being more careful about eating junk food. Quiting soda intake can make you lose those extra pounds fast! Just try to eat small frequent meals and consume lots of water! Best of luck

Answer

In my first trimester I lost a little over 10lbs because I had severe morning sickness. I am now in my 2nd trimester and gaining it back. Little by little.

Answer

I would worry just because of how quickly you lost the weight. If you continue to lose weight this rapidly it can possibly have negative effects on you and/or baby. Just try to keep fluids in you and eat lots of good carbs when you can to keep your calorie intake up and your energy cuz you will need it!

Answer

Have you had an ultrasound to confirm your pregnant. I hate to be the one to say it but there are other reason why you can have hCg in your body. I don't want to freak you out so have an ultrasound as soon as you can.

Answer

Many women lose weight early pregnancy for many reasons; loss of appetite, changing metabolism, vomiting...

Talk to your dr about it. They will discuss any concerns they have. At this stage, just try and stay healthy.

HCG is a pregnancy hormone. I am not aware of any medical condition aside from pregnancy that would result in your body making HCG. Many fertility drugs such as ovidrel injections do contain HCG and can cause false positive on HPT within 14 days of injection, but you would know if you had this drug and what the rules are for testing to avoid false positive. At 9 weeks, with a positive HCG test, you are pregnant. PP is stating things I am not aware are scientifically possible. Maybe she will elaborate...
