Anyone else losing weight?

[Deleted]

I've lost four lbs since becoming pregnant.

I feel so bloated and huge all the time from the bloat. I was actually scared to weigh myself today because I feel like I've gained at least ten pounds. Nope. Down four.

I think it's from no longer drinking, but I'm eating carbs every two hours and I'm not puking anymore - and I'm certainly not getting much relief from BMs, either...

Anyone else?

I think it's pretty standard to lose weight in the first tri. I lost 10 pounds last time and am currently down 6 or 7. I am also classified as obese though so I shouldn't be gaining much weight at all over the whole pregnancy.

And for me it is 100% from not drinking beer. Of that I am sure!

[awkwardturtle]

I've lost 2 pounds, I haven't been sick either. I do think it's from not drinking, and I also think your body works harder making the placenta and everything so it's using up more calories. Maybe I'm completely wrong on the last part. 

It is completely normal to lose weight in the first trimester, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Ive lost 5 pounds in the past 10 days. But my belly is all bloaty today, so I feel like I've gained 5000.

Totally normal. I always lose weight during the first trimester, whether I have m/s or not (didn't with #1). I'm down about 5 right now. I am overweight (technically, my BMI is a little over the obese cut off), so I shouldn't gain much overall anyway. I have been nauseated a lot, but I'm also wolfing down carbs when I can manage to eat.

I was up 8lbs at my appt on Monday.



ugh that's what I get from going from a low-carb diet/lifestyle to only being able to stomach carbs

[rachelilly23]

No, I'm up about 2 lbs. But I've only puked once and can only stand to eat junk with the nausea. I'll take 2 lbs in a month though, wish I could go the rest of the pregnancy only gaining 2 lbs a month.

[sunshineshades]

Very common. I lost 7 lbs by 9 weeks with my dd. This time I'm not sure if I've lost any, they didn't weigh me today. I Woodbridge be all surprised if I do. Though I started diclectin today so hopefully that helps.

[jtizzay]

Ha. I'm average weight. 10 weeks. Up 5 lbs. I was up 3 about 10 seconds po. Happened to me last time too. I try and ignore first tri. I gained 36 lbs last time and lost it all in 14 weeks and then lost 5 more. Focus on being healthy and splurging when you need and I feel like it works out.

Disclaimer I worked out through my pregancy and starting again 4 weeks after. I had help and an amazing sleeper so I had it easy

I've lost about 7-8 pounds. My pants are loose... my rings are sliding all over the place. But I'm eating a lot less than normal and drinking more water. I assume that's why. Soon enough the scale will tip the other way!

[fignewt]

I have lost 11 lbs so far, which is pretty standard for me unfortunately. I am not eating much at all and half of what i eat comes back up. Ugh.
I am 11 weeks today so hopefully i will not lose any more...

[isolemnlyswear]

I lost 8lbs with my first pregnancy during the 1st trimester. I haven't gained any with this one so far but am starting off almost 20 lbs lighter than last time so at a normal weight.

[OrganicRosemary]

I lost a pound or two by about 8 weeks, but now I'm up about 3-4lbs and I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow. It's pretty common to lose in the first tri especially with aversions, nausea, and puking. Or if you've started eating healthier. Some women don't start gaining until 18-20 weeks. I wouldn't stress too much. You'll be huge before you know it . But if you're really concerned just ask your doc, they'll let you knows if you're on track.

For this pregnancy, I'm not sure. I'm too scared to get anywhere near a scale, lol. But with my son I lost 5 lbs in the first trimester before I started gaining any weight. I actually had a lot of trouble putting on weight. Not sure why, I was eating plenty.

[calgal]

Haven't gained anything. I was this way with dd too and gained 35 total with her.

So, potentially dumb question.

BUT - say I lose five pounds and then gain thirty five the whole pregnancy, do I say I gained thirty or did I gain thirty five?

Like - If I weighed 100lbs, went to 95, then ended up at 130 - did I gain 30 or 35 lbs?

I'm not sure this matters that much, but I would say I gained from whatever my pre pregnancy weight was.

Most doctors track you from your pre-pregnancy weight, so you would gain 30 pounds.  I think it depends on the doctor though.

[megrae12]

I haven't lost any, but I haven't gained either, which is shocking considering my carb intake.

[Missy0483]

My body does not know how to lose weight during pregnancy. For real.

[blackbird]

....so I feel like the fat ass in the group...

Don't. Irl no one I know lost weight I certainly don't. Everyone is different

[nexttonormal]

If I could stand to eat anything other than bagels, doughnuts and Uh, bagels... Then I'd probably still be at my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm fortunate in the sense I don't puke, but I'm not pooping either ... So I literally have like 7 bagels sitting somewhere inside me.

Yeah, me too.

[katespade]

If I wasnt having days where nothing sounded good and eating was difficult, I would not have lost any weight.

I mean, I've had more McDonalds hashbrowns in the past 4 1/2 weeks than I have in the last year.

[awkwardturtle]

Just wanted to updated that I have since gained back the two pounds plus an additional one. My grandma told me after I told her I was pregnant yesterday that she thought I had "put on some weight in my stomach." haha thank you!

[michelleca]

Last time around I lost a bit, and ended up gaining 5lbs by the end of the first trimester. This time I am all over the carbs (drugs are actually working for me!), and I've already put on 3 lbs. But I also just spent the weekend in Montreal, QC, and ate all the poutine, smoked meat, pizza, and BAGELS.

[katespade]

I am planning to go see a doctor tomorrow. I'm down 7 pounds in about 2 weeks.

[xxkimmy8xx]

katespade, I hope your doctor will be able to prescribe something that will give you some relief. Hugs lady.

[AlphabetFish]

I was down 3lbs not long ago, but I seem to be back where I started now... 10 weeks along.
