Still early but lost weight?

Hi,

I tiny bit of background.... got PG with my daughter 3 months post surgery & lost weight the entire time then stablized to 225lbs the last 3 months.  I didn't 'pop' till then either.

I've gained some weight back the last year (been 5 years since the surgery) due to inactivity & job loss).  I just turned 11 wks (Sat) and so far, I have lost 6 lbs since I got PG.  I'm not vomiting (although I do admit to dry heaves), haven't lost my appetite (sp) for anything yet & eating when hungry, taking all my vitamins, etc.  I'm trying hard to get more water in but mostly drinking caffeine/decaf tea.

Do you think the baby is ok?  I know 'Junior' will take from me first.... just nervous I guess.   My size 16 jeans were always a little 'snug' and had a 'roll' since I still have the panni but I definitely have to either wear the 18's or do the rubber band trick. 

So far the baby is measuring fine, seen & heard the heartbeat.  I just I'm just looking for any input at all.

Thanks!

Hello Neighbor!

The baby is most likely just fine! I started gaining weight as soon as I found out I was pregnant! Actually before I knew! I think my weight gain has a lot to do with lack of eating, and eating sugar due to my fear of the affects of artificial sweeteners on the baby. I had the dry heaves in the beginning and could not eat anything! I just kept taking my prenatal vitamins though and now the baby is actually measuring 4 weeks large! I can't wait to work out again as soon as I get the OK after baby is born!

I lost 8-10 pounds in my first trimester with these two I am pregnant with now. I have gained about 6 back this month I think my doc said something about everything running faster and burning more in the begining since your body is doing so much work making a placenta and all that good stuff. Last year in my pregnancy I lost more and did not gain till my last trimester. Everything was just fine

I lost weight well into my second trimester. My weight finally stabilized ~24 weeks and now I'm slowly gaining 1/2 to 1 lb a week. Baby is measuring several weeks larger than his gestational age, so everything is just fine.

My OB says not to worry about early weightloss unless you are underweight.

Im 30 weeks pregnant and have lost 21 lbs since... and still losing. Baby is fine and since shes fine my Drs. dont seem to be worried much. Ive increased my calories and it doesnt seem to help.
