Answer 1

i am 14 weeks pregnant and i have lost 20lbs due to morning sickness also...

Answer 2

Don't worry! You could be one of many lucky women who only gain a few pounds. If you haven't started gaining weight, you will as long as you eat healthy and eat least 300 extra calories a day. I gained 5 pounds by the time I was 14 weeks, but a friend of mine is 7 months and has only gained 10 pounds. She is also very thin and you can hardly notice she is pregnant. Every women is different! Embrace your heredity and be thankful you won't have a huge amount to lose after the baby is born! :)~

Answer 3

Every woman is different. I didn't have much morning sickness and pretty much ate normally and only started gaining weight at 20 weeks and that was only 2 pounds ( 3 weeks ago ). Most woman start gaining weight around 20 weeks I believe. And some women never gain weight over their starting weight especially if they lose a lot in the beginning.

Answer 4

Dont worry , it is normal to loose weight at the beginning of a pregnacy. After about 20 weeks you will start to gain some weight. Make sure you are consuming around 200 calories more than your normal diet allows. It is healthy to gain around 25-35 pounds. Good luck and Congrats!! <3

Answer 5

Just cause you lose weight doesn't mean the baby is. I had morning sickness bad to. I had to start takin penagren. I gained only 35 pounds and I'm 37 weeks.I look like I'm 6 months pregnet but my baby girl is estimated to be 6 lbs so it really kinda even out at the end.

Answer 6

My sister-in-law is 21 weeks along and hasn't gained a single pound (her arms and face have definately got skinnier). I'm 10 weeks and have lost 10 pounds (I'm so sick of morning sickness!). Both of our doctors tell us that it is fine. As long as your doctor says everything is ok, I wouldn't worry. The baby gets everything it need (in return, you may not be so do try to eat very well and often to avoid fatigue!). Everyone is different on how much weight they will gain and when. As long as you're taking care of yourself you and your baby should be fine! Hopefully you'll start packing on some pounds soon, but don't worry if you don't as long as your doctor is still happy!

Answer 7

Usually towards the end of the second trimester and beginning of the third and all the way to your due date is when you really pack on the pounds...so enjoy not gaining for now!

Answer 8

It took me until my 6-7th month to gain after I lost 25lbs due to extreme nausea and vomiting through my 1st and 2nd trimester.

Just eat healthy and add healthy calories to your diet. As long as you can keep down one healthy meal a day and take a prenatal vitamin your baby will be fine (said my dr)

Answer 9

I wore my regular clothes up until I was almost 7 months pregnant. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. As long as your baby is healthy, be happy! :-)
