Is it okay to lose a bit of weight during the first trimester?

Question

I have been trying to lose weight for the last couple months, mostly by eating healthfully and lightly exercising. I found out I'm pregnant this last weekend. Is it okay if I continue trying to lose weight, as long as I'm not cutting my calories and eating really balanced meals?

Answer

I wouldn't try to continue losing weight. Just eat healthy and do light exercise. Maybe talk to your doctor about what he/she thinks is right for you.

Answer

Its not the end of the world to lose weight, but no you shouldn't not be actively trying to lose weight.

Answer

I lost nine pounds. Never sick, just not much of an appetite and when I did eat it was all healthy foods and lots of water.

Answer

It's fine if you do lose weight, but you shouldn't try to lose weight.
Eat healthy, continue exercising. My doctor said that a woman who is slightly over weight should just gain less weight, not gain no weight.
