Ok the first Dr appointment I weighted in at 220 I lost the first Tri, gained a little back over Christmas. However I am still losing. I am not trying to, I know I am eating a little bit better, drinking much more water, walking 2x a week. Nothing much new, other than more water. I weighed this morning 209. Baby is growing, kicking, doing great. Even DH made a comment that I looked like I was getting smaller not bigger. Should I be worried or just keep doing what I am doing. My tummy is growing, but my face and upper body have lost some. Also my waist (sides) are smaller.
I was told to keep the gain under 15 lbs.

Ollie have you had your GD test yet? I know for me a sign I had GD was that I was losing weight. Just a thought

When I got pregnant I was 220 and when I gave birth I was 238. It took me a long time but evenutally I started to gain and it was slow but for most of the pregnancy I lost and couldn't stop losing for the majority. If you're concerned, ask your doc, you can never ask too many questions!!

What does your doctor say? Is he/she worried about it? If you are making better choices for eating, drinking, and exercising that might be the explanation. If you are eating healthy and taking vitamins, the baby should be getting what it needs, I'd think.

I am in the middle of changing Dr's. But he was not alarmed last visit. I go to my new one this week (my first visit, last month, with her I was 214) and do my GD test YUK, i have not failed one yet.
I remember losing weigh with Court, after I had her I was 20 lbs less than when I got pregnant with her, I was under 200.
Maybe its from getting so sick with MS early on, then we caught a stomach bug. Mine was not that bad, i only had diarrhea.

as long as the baby's growing then you're probably perfectly fine. i couldn't gain weight to save my life when i was pg!

It is easier that way anyway when you already weigh enough....because once you give birth you'll lose alot and it will make it easier to care for your baby. Just keep eating right and drinking lots of water and take your vitamins and you both should be fine.

I did the same thing with Aiden Ollie. Doctor said as long as my fundus was measuring to date the baby was growing.

[oweirdo]

Great, I was not too worried, but I dont want her to be a tiny baby. I want a healthy baby!
I do forget to take my vit more than I remember. Guess I just have to write it down in my planner, give myself a certian time to take then 2 of them.

Don't worry about a little baby...If Aiden hadn't been a mnth early he would have been at least 8 1/2 lbs...I bet your babe will be just fine Ollie
