Re: a little worred.... losing weight

A lot of people lose weight in the first tri - especially those w/ bad MS.
I wouldn't worry at all. I think Superkat lost 15lbs.

Just make sure you eat when you can.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

a lot of women lose weight in their first trimester. It's normal because of m/s, so don't worry. You're fine.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

It's okay!!

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

oh thanks sooo much ladies.. i feel so much better now. well not physically

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I lost weight in the beginning of my last pg so don't worry.

I told my RE the other day that I couldn't eat and she said not to worry, just make sure I was taking in a lot of liquids. Are you able to drink a lot of water?

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I also had the nightmare of 24/7 m/s and could barely keep anything down. Don't worry about the weight loss, you will gain in back. Some women lose or maintain their weight because of m/s in the first trimester. I hope you feel better soon.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

i lost a few pounds as well my 1st trimester because all I could stomache was water and crackers.... don't worry you'll put on the weight soon enough

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I lost 5 pounds, don't worry too much

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

Not uncommon at all! Your baby is still SOOO tiny, it's caloric needs aren't that great at all so don't feel like you're not giving baby what it needs. I lost 7 lbs my first trimester from being soo sick and my OB wasn't concerned at all- she said it's quite common.

Hope you're feeling better soon

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

i lost 6 pds the first trimester becuase i was not feeling well due to morning sickness. its not uncommon. youll gain it back in the 2nd and 3rd trimester.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I lost 15 lbs first trimester, and at 26 weeks have only gained back 10lbs. Its totally normal

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

oh thanks god for this board.. its so nice to post something about a concern and get replies sooo fast!


and glad to hear its common in the 1st trimester! wow i feel relieved!

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

Trust me, you'll be making up for those lost pounds in the end! LOL

My m/s started this week too, so now I have to eat breakfast or else I want to hurl. UGH.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

In the beginning my friend lost weight too, due to her MS.

Sorry you're feeling sick...

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I lost close to 20 pounds and at 25 weeks gained 13 pounds. The baby is fine, so dont worry. If you continue to lose weight and not feel good, definitely speak with your OB

Feel better

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I had bad nausea for the few few weeks - from about 5 weeks until about 9 or 10 - then it started to taper off - I couldn't eat meat or be around it so I ate very little (I was never sick just the smell make me feel horrible). I lost about 8-10 lbs the first few weeks. I wouldn't worry about it - unless your dr is - I was told people often lose weight in the beginning.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

Its normal

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I am currently 35 weeks and haven't gained a single pound. My doctors aren't concerned. So, don't worry

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I lost a total of 14 lbs with my 1st...I would tell the nurses each time, "I couldn't do that if I tried!"

Totally normal.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

I lost abt 5 pounds because of m/s. I couldn't even keep down water or crackers.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

My 1st p/g I lost 10lbs in my 1st trimester and I was thin to begin with.
I did not start to gain weight until my 6 or7th month.
This time I lost 7 lbs in the 1st trimester and did not gain anything again until around 6 months.
I had hyperemesis both times!
I am 32 weeks and only gained 11lbs, which is kinds low for a thin person, but Dr said it is okay.

Re: a little worred.... losing weight

i had horrific MS - i lost 10 pounds in the first tri. don't worry, the baby is taking what it needs from your body. your weight will catch up later on.
