Did you lose weight while pregnant? I lost 3 lbs since last month?

Question

Is this common I cant remember it happening when i was pregnant with my son.

Um I never weight loss in my 1st pregnancy.So its not something I consider to be normal even if you say it is. Thats directed at one of the posters on here.

Answer 1

You can loose weight during the first trimester and at the end of the third trimester. IT is pretty normal though.

Answer 2

It just happens with some pregnancies. Three pounds is nothing at all, especially if you are in the early months, have been having a lot or morning sickness, or were even slightly overweight to begin with.

When I was pregnant, the doctor weighed me, and told me I should gain 30 lbs. during my pregnancy. But before I gained a single pound, I lost 15, due to extreme morning sickness (at all hours of the day!). The doctor wasn't worried, but said that if I continued to loose weight, then he might consider some sort of bed rest or hospital stay or something.

Fortunately, I stopped loosing, my weight plateaued for two months, and then I spent the last 4 months gaining 30 lbs. I never did reach the weight the dr originally prescribed (since my starting weight and my having-baby weight were only 15 or so pounds apart), but my son was perfectly healthy.

Soon enough, you'll start to gain like mad, and you'll wish you could loose 3 pounds!

Answer 4

My sister was overweight when she got pregnant for twins so she actually lost 20lbs during her pregnancy. She ate whole foods and felt terrific throughout. I gained weight in the first and 2nd trimesters and actually lost 6lbs in the 3rd for a total of 24lbs gained. I ate a proper diet and attended aerobics until my 9th month and my baby was 11lbs 1oz!!
Your diet is important, so as long as you try to incorporate the basic food guidelines you should be fine! Best wishes.

Answer 5

It is common to lose some weight in the first trimester if you have morning sickness and can't eat. If you lose a lot of weight or are past the first trimester you should seek medical attention.
