Answer 1

firstly, so sorry for your loss. I presume if your GP has indicated that he is not overly worried about your weightloss then try not to worry for the moment as this may increase your stress levels and then you probably forget to eat or feel to upset etc and you end up in a vicious circle.

you have had a lot to deal with in just a few short months and its understandable if the result of this horrible period in your life has resulted in you losing weight.

also www.babyworld.co.uk is a great site and has an excellent network of caring individuals who give great advice.

Best wishes for the future.

Answer 2

I don't know if it's normal to lose weight after losing a baby (i gained a couple of stone with hormone problems!) It could be thyroid related but it is probably more to do with the losses you have sustained in such a short time. Make sure you don't miss meals and if you feel you can't eat then try to have a smoothy by mixing, milk, banana or berries in a blender and take vitamin and mineral supplements. I think your body needs some TLC as well as your emotions so I would recommend vegetable juices to help build yourself back up. After my miscarriage I would put carrot, celery and spinach into a juicer, dilute and drink every day and it helped me a lot in terms of iron levels and energy. Also visit a doctor for a full medical check up including iron tests and thyroid. over all be good to yourself. Life will get better in time.

Answer 3

so sorry to hear about your miss.

ive had three miscarriages and lost twins second time around but went on to have another healthy child i also has an older daughter already.

it is so painfull and stressful that it is no wonder you have lost weight especially losing your partner as well.

you cant help but wonder if you did something wrong and you can feel guilty but the truth is that its almost always natures way of ending an imperfect pregnancy.

im sure it will all come right in time.if you're still worried i'd suggest you see your doctor again incase you are anaemic or something like that.

eat plenty rest plenty and try and think positive.one day you will meet your life partner and when you do have kids you will look back like i did and think" if i hadn't miscarried then
i woudn't have the beautiful children i have now"


look after yourself babe and i hope you go on to have many beautiful children.

Answer 6

You are definitely under a lot of stress my love. Losing a baby, and then the end of your relationship, this means you are mourning the loss of quite a lot.

You need to go and speak to your doctor, just to get your blood pressure checked. Ensure that you are eating properly and take some vitamin supplements. You will have lost a lot of nutrients from your body when you had the miscarriage.

Take care of yourself and try to remain positive. It's hard, I know, but you will get there.

Answer 7

Try not to worry too much
When you go through the trauma of a miscarriage, followed by splitting up with a partner, the worry & turmoil of it all can cause weight loss. You may have stopped looking after yourself so much, you may not be sleeping as well, you may be keeping yourself busier & not snacking as much?
If you go back to your old routines, eat well, try to sleep well & you continue to lose weight then go back to your doctor.
I hope you feel better soon

Answer 8

After loosing your baby it's normal to loose weight.
It sounds like you're under alot of stress that's the cause of the sudden weight loss.
Take care of yourself. Go to the Dr if it makes you feel better.
Have some fun and ge some excercise - light walking and fresh air will help you feel better.
I'm sorry all of this has happened to you.
I hope you get well soon.

Answer 9

having had a miscarriage myself, i now how you must be feeling, your graving for your baby, that's what it was to you, people say try again, don't now how old you are, but you have the added stress of a break up with a partner,you are also coming to terms with being on your own, counseling may help, ask your Dr about it, sometimes talking things through with some one not connected to circle of family and friends help. the weight loss is a symptom, and will rectify itself in time, give your self time to gr eave

Answer 10

I would expect the weight loss is down to the stress you have experienced with losing your baby and then splitting with your partner. Take some time for yourself to grieve and hopefull you will gain some of the weight, or at least feel better in yourself.
I wish you every happiness in the future. xxx
