Why am I losing weight?

Question

How many of you ladies lost a good amount of weight at the end of your pregnancy? I’ve been so stressed out lately with marital problems that I’ve been having to remind myself to eat and my last apt I noticed I have lost 6 lbs. my doctor never brought it up so I assume she’s not concerned, well I am. Should I be worried? I’m trying my best to remember to eat but the depression is real.

Answer

I lost 3 lbs between last week and this week

Answer

I lost 2.5 this past week. I wasn’t nearly as swollen as I was the week before so I’m just fluctuating because of water weight.

Answer

It's normal to eat less and snack when baby is bigger. But depression is real and u should talk to ur doc about that specifically, who u can talk to or what u can take for help. Post pardum was hard for me and during pregnancy I put my depression on the back burner but it hit hard after baby. Don't feel ashamed talk to someone and get help , it's super common too. Best wishes 💗🤗

Answer

The fluid decreases. Only the baby starts packing the weight.

Answer

I was gaining alot during my whole pregnancy pretty much up until the last month. Lack of appetite and stress is surely causing it. I have been losing about 2lbs per week, and I don't want to eat as often as I used to but also the baby is much larger now and it can be normal to lose weight at the end. Your baby will get what he/she needs regardless. Hang in there. I know what you mean with being stressed by marital issues right now. It's not a great experience being 9 months pregnant and dealing with that.

Answer

I have gained and lost weight all through my pregnancy. My doctor even asked if there’s a reason why I was losing. I didn’t know I was, but it was only like 4 pounds. At my 37 week appointment, I gained 4 pounds in a week and at my 38 week appointment, I lost 2 pounds. My doctor didn’t say anything this time. I’ve only gained like 5 pounds my whole pregnancy so far. If your doctor isn’t concerned, don’t worry. Baby is still getting what it needs.
