Pregnant but Not Gaining Weight?

Question

So I’m 8 weeks today and I’ve lost 5lbs since finding out I was pregnant. I know it’s likely because I stopped drinking soda and partially due to my morning sickness but it still worries me. I want to make sure my baby is getting the proper nutrients! 😣💖 Is this happening or did this happen to any of you? Just need to calm my momma bear nerves.

Answer

Trust me, this happened to me my first pregnancy. I gained weight after morning sickness started going away. Your baby is getting the nutrients it needs. It will all be ok.

Answer

During my first trimester I lost 7 pounds... I'm 19 weeks and only gained 2 of that back so far. Doctor isn't concerned because baby is growing fine. As long as you're least keeping fluids down and taking a prenatal.. you're fine.. baby is getting what it needs. Nothing to worry about, especially in your first trimester.. speak with your OB if you're really concerned though..

Answer

I lost 8 pounds my first trimester. My doctor wasn’t concerned since everything else was normal.

Answer

I was still 6 pounds under my pre pregnancy weight at 18 weeks from being so sick. My doctor wasn’t concerned at all. She said most moms actually lose weight before 20 weeks then slowly gain it back. She said if I’m still not gaining weight after 20 weeks then she will monitor it but not to worry at all before 20 week😊

Answer

It’s actually normal that you’re not gaining weight especially at 8 weeks, it would sort of be a red flag if you gained weight at 8 weeks. Most doctors prefer that you start gaining weight in your late weeks of pregnancy because gaining too much in the first few weeks can lead to gestational diabetes/ pre-e etc. I didn’t start gaining until I hit 29 weeks. I’m sure you’re okay, I had morning sickness up until I was 15 weeks and didn’t gain a pound either.

Answer

23 weeks and weigh the same I did in the beginning! Its weird too because I look pregnant but weigh the same lol. If your eating and drinking enough I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer

I am 25 weeks and have yet to gain any weight. Dr isn’t worried. Baby is growing!

Answer

Yep.  I’m 21 weeks and have gained 1 lb so far.  Everyone is different!

Answer

I️ lost over twenty pounds when pregnant with my daughter and she is perfection (now and when she came out 8lb 6oz). This time is shaping up to be the same way it’s you you should worry about as the baby will definitely get all that he/she needs just make sure you take all your vitamins so that you are taken care of

Answer

I gained all of my weight around 35 weeks. Before that I was going up and down. At the beginning I lost 3lbs then I would gain 2 then I'd lose 1 or 2.
