losing weight?

has anyone lost weight during pregnancy not as a result of morning sickness? i feel like i am losing weight, though i am not trying. i just can't eat as much as i used to, and of course am making more of an effort to eat healthier.

losing weight?

I had a hard time periodically gaining weight and towards the end just wasn't gaining anything that I was on a weight gain diet from weeks 29-34. My doctor was concerned that while I had 2 babies rapidly growing that I wasn't eating enough. I was dizzy and almost passed it a few times because like you, felt like I couldn't keep eating, felt like there was no room left! As long as your doctor isn't concerned and the baby is growing and you are feeling good, I wouldn't worry

Re: losing weight?

Yeah I have this happen. My metabolism goes a little haywire during pregnancy. A few times throughout I've lost 5-10 pounds quickly but have regained it eventually, although at 36 weeks I'm only up about 15 pounds total. I'm just not that hungry most of the time. I get full fast & don't have a huge appetite or cravings or anything. The baby is measuring on the bigger side & most of what I eat is pretty nutritious so I'm not concerned.

Yes. Pregnancy was the best and easiest diet I've ever been on.

But I definitely had weight to lose.

I lost weight until 20 weeks and then i didnt gain any for another 8ish weeks

I didn't really gain any weight from week like 27-39. I only gained 23 lbs total. I worked out my entire pregnancy and ate normally. My DS was a healthy 8 lbs 4 ounces.

sometimes I think it depends on your starting weight. My friend lost like 10-15 lbs throughout the pregnancy, but she was between 200-250lbs when she got pregnant. I've heard this is common for women who are overweight, as they are focusing more on eating healthy and taking care of the baby.

I was around 155 when I got pregnant, and didn't start gaining until around 13 weeks. After that, I pretty much gained 1 lb a week

Re: losing weight?

I lost weight the first 10 weeks- at first from eating healthier, then from morning sickness. I made up for it later and my doctor was not concerned.

Ok, cool. I was admittedly overweight to start with, and so my dr said I shouldn't gain as much weight in general, but I didn't expect to lose!

Re: losing weight?

With my first pregnancy I only gained 10 pounds. My second I gained 8. So yes, I had lost weight somewhere in there during both pregnancies.

I am overweight too and my first pregnancy I gained 21 lbs total. 18 of which was in the first 14ish weeks because I was so sick and the only thing that made me feel better was eating carbs all day long. My doctor was really concerned at how much I was gaining and how quickly but it totally leveled off and I ended up LOSING like 5-6 lbs in my third tri. I think it all kind of evens out.
