No weight gain?

Question

With my first, by now I'd already gained at least 5 lbs or more, but with this pregnancy I've actually lost a couple pounds. I know every pregnancy is different, but I'm pretty thin to begin with and don't usually lose weight, so I can't help but worry something's wrong. My appetite is non-existent - food grosses me out - but I'm doing my best to get as much in me as my body allows. 
Of course my first appointment isn't for another couple weeks. Can this be a normal first trimester thing? Is anyone else experiencing weight loss with a healthy baby?

Answer

This is totally normal unless you’re throwing up nonstop. I’m dealing with the same thing except this is my 4th. I never dealt with morning sickness/ food aversion to the point where my appetite was a struggle until this one. I did gain some weight though in an effort to help get pregnant prior to conception. I can see why it would be stressful. Just stay hydrated, take your prenatal, and bring it up at your appointment or heck you can probably even talk to a nurse over the phone at your clinic.

Answer

I’m pretty thin as well and gained a lot of weight in the first trimester with my first. However, that’s pretty ATYPICAL! Mayo Clinic says most women will gain 1-4 pounds in the first trimester. I’m just past 8 weeks now and have only gained about 1-1.5 pounds. My eating habits haven’t changed dramatically despite nausea and I’m exercising less because I feel crappy.

Answer

With my first i was gaining a few pounds between every appointment. This time I’m 20lbs heavier than what I was at the beginning of my first pregnancy but I’ve lost weight instead of gaining. So far I’ve gone 7lbs down and haven’t gone up at all.

Answer

With my second pregnancy I went from 120lb to 114lb in the first trimester due to nausea and food being nasty to me. I had to drink protein shakes according to my OB and I gained weight and the bebe was fine.
Im pregnant with my 4th and Ive went from 124lb to 115lb due to the same reason and Im waiting to see if my OB wants me to drink protein shakes again.

Answer

With my first I lost 15 pounds my first trimester and only gained 15 pounds my entire pregnancy so I went into pregnancy the same weight in the beginning and the end lol I have a healthy 3.5 year old. This is my second pregnancy and I don't think I've lost weight but I honestly haven't checked. I will find out at the doctor next week.

Answer

I have really bad food aversions when pregnant so with my first I ended up losing 15-20lbs and never gained, it’s looking like it’s going to be the same this pregnancy but I had a healthy baby boy and he’s 1.5 now! So don’t stress too much until your doctor says so! Also have you tried meal replacement shakes? I drink premiere protein when I’m having a hard time getting food in so I’m at least getting something. Also smoothies are a huge hit for some reason! Especially because you can add kale for more iron and other things to get nutrients and fruit is usually pretty easy on the stomach! Best of luck to you!!
