How much weight loss in 1st trimester is normal?
The m/s is just terrible right now and I've been on and off the scale a few times lately...only to notice that in the past 4 days, I've lost 5.5 pounds 
I know everyone says that loosing weight in the first trimester is normal due to m/s, but is this much this fast normal?? I havent actually thrown up at all. I'm just so sick 24/7 that I'm having trouble getting any food into me. I've spoken to my doctor about it and she just says to try over the counter stuff like vitamin B6, Unisom, Seabands, ect. Tried them all and NOTHING is helping. I'm just shedding pounds like crazy

I lost over 12lbs this trimester from morning sickness. And the baby is totally fine, your body has natural fat stores, that will nourish the baby. Dont stress about it.

Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better  I guess at 7weeks, if I keep on this pace, I may loose around 12 pounds by the end of this trimester too. But if thats normal and not dangerous to the baby, then I guess it is what it is.
I just cant wait til the m/s is over and I can go back to enjoying food again!

Re: How much weight loss in 1st trimester is normal?
I felt worst weeks 6-8, and lost about 5 lbs total in that time. I didn't lose after that, and at 14 weeks am still down 5 lbs. The doctor didn't seem concerned at all. You may not keep up at this pace of weight loss--I hope you feel better soon!

Thats about where I'm at right now. My m/s kicked in really bad at just under 6 weeks. I'm now 7 weeks exactly and since 5w4d I've lost a total of 6lbs.
I'm really hoping that by the 8 week mark this m/s simmers down a bit. I'm so jealous of DH enjoying all his food. We baked cookies the other day and I gagged the whole time. Normally, its one of my favorite smells I have a feeling this holiday season is not going to be a good one for me...

My morning sickess started when i was just shy of 6 weeks and was really bad like everyday all day until last week, and now its alot more manageable.
Dont worry about the losing weight some women dont gain any weight during pregnancy, some gain alot. Dont worry.
