Losing 10-15 pounds in the first trimester?

Question

Has anyone done this? I know people say you aren’t supposed to try to lose weight, and then you hear of the cases where women do lose weight due to morning sickness. I’m just feeling really awful. (I let myself go a bit after my wedding by gaining 25 pounds.) I mostly did this by eating bad/more calories and leading more or a sedentary lifestyle. I’m short 5’3” to be exact so weight really shows in me. I’m only around 8 weeks and dreading gaining any more weight as I feel very overweight and unhealthy as it is. I used to be 135 and felt great and now I fluctuate between 155-160. I plan on eating healthy and light for the next month and keeping my calories down as well as doing cardio( walking),squats, and lite weights to tone my arms. Just wondering if anyone has been in the same boat as me and lost weight and still had a healthy pregnancy.

Answer

I lost about 22 pounds. So it’s not bad. You’ll gain it back third trimester.

Answer

I exercised first 2 trimesters with my last pregnancy last year and I'm diabetic but I lost 17 pounds and my OB encouraged me to lose 15 more

Answer

I started about 30lbs over weight and  lost 15lbs due to morning sickness and my doc said it was totally fine. But if you are wanting to actively lose weight just talk to your doctor and see what they say. I'm a big supporter of not just losing weight but healing your body through proper nutrition. personally I'd say don't cut or count calories, just eat the amount that feels right and choose healthier  options.  You may not visibly lose weight but you should feel healthier and  you'll be setting yourself up for success after that beautiful baby is born!

Answer

I have just about the same height and weight flux that you do and I am now in my second trimester. Every time I went in to the doctor I had lost weight. I explained I was eating better and they were fine with it as long as I was keeping food down and eating well.

Answer

When I first found out I was pregnant I weighted 135 went to see the OBGYN and weighted 128. I was honestly scared but I had lost a lot of weight because I was sick and threw up and didn’t eat as much.

Answer

I’ve been sick for about a week every morning all day, and I’ve lost about 3-4 pounds. If it gets any worse I’m going to let my dr know.

Answer

Everyone keeps telling me if I’m doing a diet, but I’m not. No one knows I’m pregnant. But I was sick for 2 weeks and a half and it took a lot out of me. I would ask your doctor if you continue losing that much, your baby needs you to eat.

Answer

It’s healthy to lose weight during pregnancy if you do it by adding exercise and a healthy diet. But it’s dangerous to lose weight by cutting out calories. You don’t want to deprive your body of healthy nutrients and vital vitamins to your baby. You can become lean by just walking and changing your diet to a healthier one, not necessarily focus on losing weight.

Answer

You need to eat your maintenance calories in the first trimester, anything less will not be enough for baby to grow properly
