losing weight?

I know you shouldnt "try" to lose weight but since I am eating a he!! of alot healthier since I found out I was preggo isnt there a slight possibility I can take off some pounds before gaining the preggo 30?

Re: losing weight?

It's not abnormal to lose weight in your first trimester, however, you will notice that by the time you hit 16-20 weeks, you will need a helluva lot more of that healthy food to fill you up. Also, you will gain because of fluids, not only fat.

i lost weight in the beginning ... not sure if it was from the m/s or my weight was 're-adjusting' itself and i just looked thinner. everyone told me i looked thinner and i was like that's funny b/c i'm preg! To date (29 weeks) I have gained 15 lbs but with about 10 weeks left I'm sure that number will climb. I'm not really eating like crazy, i think it's a lot of baby weight

Re: losing weight?

It's possibly to lose weight (from yourself) while pregnant. I only gained, I think a total of 12 lbs with my second pregnancy. When she was born, I weighed less than when I started TTC.

I also know a lot of GD moms to be that lost weight from the diet.

Re: losing weight?

I gained something like 2.5 lbs during my pregnancy...strange but true. After I had the baby, I had to go out and buy smaller jeans!!!
I lost weight due to no appetite and the weight of the baby and fluid and stuff must have just equalled each other out! My midwife said it was nothing to worry about as long as baby gains weight and grows normally

I forgot to mention that I threw up every morning...lucky me, but I have the most spectacular son, so it was worth it.
