I started this pregnancy around 175, currently at 14 weeks and baby is measuring 4 days ahead, I am down to 161. The doctor isn't concerned and I assume that losing some weight since I was slightly overweight, is not going to hurt me or the baby. Don't be alarmed and I'm sure the baby is fine. I think they only get concerned if it's late in the 3rd trimester and you suddenly start packing on the pounds or losing them like crazy. Baby will get everything it needs before your body will. Perfect example would be how older women end up with osteoporosis...lacking calcium in pregnancy causes the baby to rob it from your bones. Your body knows what it's doing, please don't stress.

I'm down ten but I have a bunch to spare. Some women gain almost no weight but you are right you should gain. I have noticed latly that doctors are a little to concerned about weight gain being too much. I remeber 7 years ago my friend had to down protien shakes because she wasn't gaining enough. As long as you eat healthy you should be fine.

@ll10 how far along r u? i have been drinking alot of banana milk shakes and that seems to help

blueberrysmom

Doctor isn't concerned and Blueberry is doing well. I attribute it to cutting out alcohol!

@Moni1991 I gained 5 pounds by week 10 and lost 6 between week 10 & 12. My doctor wasn't concerned so I asked him about it. He said to take a protein bar and split up to eat through out the day.

I've lost twenty pounds and maintained it. I'm not trying to lose weight, I havent had any morning sickness, and I haven't changed my eating habits. It's really strange. My Dr said two appts ago if I don't gain anything I have to start drinking protein shakes...but she didn't mention anything about it last appt. I'm plus size and my belly is sure growing and baby Livy is growing and gaining weight.

Moni1991

@redhead25 i no its like im eating good soo idk why im not gaining weight.. but im glad ur baby is ok

redhead25

I just wish it was this easy to lose weight when I'm not pregnant. Lol I started jokingly suggesting pregnancy as a great diet.

Moni1991

@redhead25 i no rite lol
