when did you ladies start to experience any real weight gain during your first pregnancies? for the first trimester, i’ve read its pretty normal to lose a bit of weight cuz of nausea so i wasn’t worried when i went from being 118lbs to 110…but now i’m 15 weeks and the nausea’s gone, i’ve been eating ALOT of everything from parathas n nihari, to ice cream, fruits, juice, etc but still there’s no weight gain. i definitely notice my belly growing and my curves are completely gone, bra size def. increased a little but still the numbers are stuck at 110 lbs. last time i was at 110lbs was in highschool! should i discuss this with my doctor? i kno its only the beginning of my second trimester but its pretty strange for me to be losing weight while gaining inches all over. i don’t excercise. i do work but there’s not much walking around involved. what could be causing the weight loss? any suggestions? i do feel a strange pulling sensation on my right side at times but i think its just the stretching of the skin to keep up with the expanding belly.
Re: unwanted weight loss during pregnancy
sounds normal to me from what i remember from my sis's etc. they lost so much weight until their 6th/ 7th month started.
worry not...let your 8th month come and tell us how many lbs you are then?! ;)
Re: unwanted weight loss during pregnancy
hhmmm.....everything I turn around (i.e. visit the doctor) I am 1 Kg heavier sigh n I am not even past my 1st trimester....
pkgrl
Don't worry too much, I was gaining like crazy in my 2nd trimester but have been losing and gaining every week in my 3rd trimester.
Just make sure your doctor either does an ultrasound to make sure that there is growth in the baby or they measure you......
Also I was losing in the 1st trimester, nausea can cause you to lose weight and another thing that causes us to lose weight might be that we are eating healthier than before. Remember your body is making another human being so ur energy is being used up quite a bit.
Also don't push yourself to be active, your body will give you signals of what it can or can't do listen to them. Hope this helps... good luck
Re: unwanted weight loss during pregnancy
I didn't gain weight until well into my 2nd tri (tho I showed very early). Talk to your doctor. As long as baby is growing fine and you are healthy, there's no cause for concern. Toward the end of my pregnancy they encouraged me to supplement my diet with protein drinks (like Boost, Ensure, etc) to help the baby grow.

Re: unwanted weight loss during pregnancy
Never in my life had I lost an ounce without doing anything…
..but I lost weight in my first trimester…I never gained a lot in the second trimester …whatever I gained was in the last 2 months of the pregnancy.
I never suffered from morning sickness or any aversions and was eating just the way as always but still lost the few pounds in the start.
If your doctor is not concerned about it and the baby is well,it shouldn’t be a problem Inshallah.

Yup .. I lost 15 kilos, that was too much on me the first time I got pregnant and had the baby!!!
I checked myself as soon as I got home with the baby and I was like wow at my figure, but soon some of it came back after I stopped breastfeeding.
Like the thread opener, after the horrible first trimester, I eat normal but still I never gained any weight during pregnancy. My baby was normal and the doc was not alarmed about it.
The second time pregnancy the weight loss was ony 6 kilos though.
