Wondering if anyone else has experienced weight loss during a pregnancy. This isn't my first rodeo - but this is surely the first time I've lost weight. :headscratch: This is also the first time I was "overweight" when I got PG so I am wondering if that has something to do with it. I had some pretty bad day sickness (not morning, because it was ALL day) but never vomiting. I figured since my appetite "kinda" came back around 14 weeks I'd start gaining... but instead I've lost another lb.
ANother thing to add to the mix, I weaned my almost 2yo DS last week... think it's all related??
Weight pattern.
conception: 161lbs
about week 10: 155 lbs
week 14 157lbs
week 16 (today): 156 lbs
TIA :thumbsup:

I am sure its all related alot of people lose weight in the first trimester due to the morning sickness.
Looks like it is going up again now so you shouldnt be too concerned. You can always check with a Dr. if you are worried.

I lost weight with my first one and with this one. My midwife wasn't and is not worried because I was overweight to begin with. I would just talk to your doctor or midwife and see what they say. I lost 20 pounds overall with Bruce and so far five pounds with this one.

This is my 3rd pregnancy & it's the 3rd time I've lost weight in pregnancy. I lost 8 lbs. with each of my first two before I started gaining & so far I've lost 5 lbs. with this baby (I'm 17 wks). I'm overweight as well (more than you) and have been all 3 pregnancies, and my dr. hasn't made a big deal out of it at any point.

I generally loose about 10-15 lbs at the beginning of each pregnancy and then I gain more than enough in the end to make up for it. However I didn't lose any weight this time but I am 18 weeks and haven't gained a pound.

This is m first pregnancy, and I was already overweight before getting pregnant. During the first trimester I was down about 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight and now at about 17 and a half weeks I am still down about 5 or so pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I didn't have bad morning sickness either. My doctor isn't concerned though since baby's growth is on track.

I have lost 15 lbs since beginning of pregnancy, I am in week 19 and haven't started to gain back (in past two weeks lost another pound) but i am still getting sick randomly through out the day!

I started at 168, 10lbs heavier than I had been when I m/c 4 weeks earlier. I dropped a few pounds early on and am holding steady there... I'm 19 weeks and haven't gained anything. Baby is definitely growing so I am sure the weight is just redistributing.

yup, i lost 13 pounds with DS and finally started gaining at week 27, I'm at week 17 right now and I've lost 20 pounds. I have HG though, so that's why my loss is happening. :)
