Weight gain is no indicator of baby being healthy and/or gaining weight so long as you are eating healthy enough and frequent enough baby is fine!

My best friend lost 30 lbs during her pregnancy. She just gave birth to a healthy six pound boy!

baileygoose

I lost like 6 lbs right away....it was because I was so much more aware of what I was eating and was eating healthier for a healthy baby Could that be it? Are you eating differently? Either way, no biggy, happens a lot.

That's normal I lost 30 pounds, because of that much the drs did some looking into it, but it was all ok. I was scared too, I'm not skin a bones, but I also didn't have a lot of extra weight to lose either. I just had a healthy 7pound 2 oz baby girl 3.5 months ago

It is normal in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Your body is redistributing its caloric need to support the growing fetus. A physician/midwife would have said something if they were concerned. You may start to see weight gain in the coming weeks. Just make sure you are eating and taking your prenatal vitamin.

On last thought, are you more active this pregnancy? If so make sure you stay hydrated and are consuming the extra (approximately) 350 - 500 calories/day to support a healthy pregnancy. If you are more active and are not upping your nutritional need, your body will provide the necessary nutrients (i.e. Calcium from bones, protein from muscle etc.). So you want to avoid losing muscle, therefore its important to eat a wholesome variety of foods.

Yes im more active this one bc foe the first they send me to bed rest and for this one i still working
