Weightloss & Pregnancy

Looking to talk with other moms or people who have been through loosing weight during pregnancy. This is a growing concern of mine. Things that were iffy to wear are fitting again. Not fitting the same but I can wear them. I don't know the exact numbers and won't know until I go to the doctor. I have spoke to the doctors and specialist. It's of concern as this is a risk pregnancy. I am under a fair amount of stress. Not eating like I should. I know it's not a good situation for my baby. I'm trying. I just want to know if anyone out there has went through something similar and how things turned out.

Please post or contact me privately.

I had that problem with my last child, my daughter, now 8 years old. I lost & then in the end I gained only 7 lbs. with her. I was under a tremendous amount of stress ~ one being I was already in the middle of divorce proceedings from her father. It would definately be something you should discuss with your doctor. With both my boys I gained 40# and then lost it after I had them. Being high risk I would definately get with my doctor as soon as possible.

I lost 42 pounds while pregnant with my first child. I delivered a very healthy 9 lb 6 oz baby. For me the weight loss was because I was HORRIBLY ill from day light to dark EVERY day for eight months. Crackers were about all I could keep down. Obvioulsy the weight loss didn't affect him any! lol

I had morning sickness for the entire pregnancy with #2, the dr kept asking me if I was dieting(which I wasn't) I just threw up everything. I only gain 20 with that one and lost almost all of it after../..now # 3 & 4..I went in the opposite way!

If your baby is not getting enough of what it needs it will take it from you. That may be
why you are losing weight.

You really need to eat right for the baby. I did get nauseas sometimes but that was about it for me. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. I became gestational diabetic with my son and was put on the diabetic diet. I was losing weight but the baby was taking over the weight that I was losing. The numbers weren't moving. I was eating healthy though. After I had him, I lost all the weight and then some.
