I hate that I'm actually losing weight and my doctor doesn't seem to care. She hasn't said anything at all about it. I'm getting really nervous. I'm already high risk and on weekly progesterone shots get ultrasound every two weeks and on a daily medication for contractions. Don't you think she should be more worried about this? I'm thinking of switching doctors.

    Seems like she should be more worried about it. At 22 weeks I had already gained 15lbs but this is my second baby.

    Don't worry to much yet. I lost 10 or 15 lbs with my first pregnancy. My dr didn't worry to much cuz baby was growing. If your to concerned then ask her about it at your next appointment. But don't stress. A lot of women lose weight during pregnancy and most of the time gain some of it back.

    I'm not high risk but am in similar situation. At 20 weeks I'm still under 3 lbs to my first Dr. Visit. It is frustrating. All my friends ate worried but notmy Dr. She said she's had some woman not gain until 30 weeks!!! She said as long as you're healthy and baby is growing normally nit to be concerned. I hope you start gaining soon. :)))

    Mine told me not to worry about it too much, because everything about baby was measuring out perfectly. I was at -4 at that point myself. Now I'm +4. :) Just make sure it eat if you're hungry!

    This is my fourth pregnancy. The other three I gained 50 pounds easy. I wasn't obese or anything before getting pregnant with this one.

    Im 19 weeks and 8lbs under my prepregnancy weight. Doc said everything is great. I was overweight to begin with so she said not to worry about anything.

    That's another problem of mine. Most of the time I have to force myself to eat. I'm hardly ever truly hungry

    Two pounds is nothing to worry about trust me! Being high risk makes you worry about ever hung! I was high risk with my first and with this one too, I go in for progesterone shots twice a week! Two pounds is water weight... do you go to the bathroom before you go to the doctor? Next time you know you will be getting weighed don't go to the doctor, you will magically see those two pounds. Also the reccomended wight gain is an estimated reccomendation, some people never hit it, with my first I lost 20 pounds the first trimester and gained 10 back.... don't feel bad and try not to stress about...one thing you could do is buy those cliff or Luna energy bars and eat them as a snack, they are healthy and loaded with good cards!!
  • garagebandfangaragebandfan
    Wow my phone, or fingers just don't know what to type Haha.... I ment to say you worry about everything not ever hung Haha... and I also ment to say don't go to the bathroom before the doctor, not don't go to the doctor haha

    I just turned 24 weeks and I'm also 2-3 lbs under my pregnancy weight, but considering the fact that I have a super fast metabolist there's not a problem.. I also had a check up today and the baby's weight is more than normal 1lb 3oz.. my doctor said its better to be 2-3 lbs under than 12-13 above! Good luck :)
