I felt the exact same way!!! I think it's the first time in my life I wasn't hungry and food wasn't especially appealing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-889445 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:02:42 +0000 ShootingStar 889445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: I can't even eat snacks. Between baby squishing my stomach and heartburn no matter what I eat, I have no desire to eat in between meals. Sometimes I even skip meals because I feel too gross to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-889404 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:56:04 +0000 CarrieLouWho 889404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: It was a huge change for me too! I also think going back to work was hard on me - I went from eating smaller meals throughout the day + snacks to just eating 3 meals. I need to work on it, but I'm kicking myself for gaining all of this weight back. Sighhhhh :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-889390 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:52:35 +0000 ShootingStar 889390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's great to hear other people's experiences!</p> <p>@CarrieLouWho: That's good advice - I've barely been hungry except for rare days when I'm ravenous. I probably won't know what to do with myself when I'm starving from nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-889351 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:48:10 +0000 CarrieLouWho 889351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I lost about 20 lbs over the 1st &amp; 2nd trimester and gained 15 back over the 3rd.<br /> After delivery, I was down the 20 lbs again, and then quickly lost another 20 lbs.<br /> But then I gained all 40 back. Talk about yo-yo. I really struggled with how hungry breastfeeding made me (compared to pregnancy where I didn't have much of an appetite). </p> <p>My advice - watch yourself post-pregnancy so you're not in my spot 9 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-889234 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:21:14 +0000 swurlygurl 889234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister lost 15-20ish in the first and second trimester, but started gaining a little back in third. By the time she gave birth she was still down a couple pounds. She had a perfectly healthy baby and delivery (I don't remember her exact numbers, sorry) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-889138 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 11:58:22 +0000 Cherrybee 889138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained during the first and second but have lost weight in the 3rd trimester since my GD diagnosis. The baby is measuring perfect so nobody is worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-888727 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:44:52 +0000 Honeybee 888727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost about 20 with my daughter, gained it all back plus 8 in the second trimester, and then started losing again in the thirs trimester. I did a lot better with my son and didn't lose nearly as much, plus I was able to gain more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-888631 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:29:22 +0000 illumina 888631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really significant weight loss, but I was average to begin with and then lost about 9-10lbs in the 1st trimester due to morning sickness/food aversion. It took until mid-way through the 2nd trimester to put that back on and I've now started properly gaining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-888397 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:53:23 +0000 Dandelion 888397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did...I lost 11 pounds in the first 20 weeks and then gained 20, so I was only positive 9 pounds altogether. Baby was 10 pounds! I'm now less than 10 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-888375 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:48:55 +0000 MrsRcCar 888375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 30 pounds total in the first and second trimester. I gained back about 10 pounds in the 3rd (I was still down 20lbs ). N was born at 8 pounds and 3 ounces so the ten pounds was all N. I was overweight to start with and was monitored closely to make sure that the baby was fine. The doctor was fine with me losing weight as long as N was growing well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-lose-weight-consistently-while-pregnant#post-888319 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:42:24 +0000 ShootingStar 888319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone else consistently lost weight throughout their pregnancy? I'm at 18.5 weeks and so far am down close to 20 pounds. Before anyone wants to hurt me, I was pretty overweight to begin with. I started out pre-pregnancy at around a size 16/18. My doctors aren't concerned as the baby's right on track, I'm just curious if anyone else had this happen. </p> <p>I didn't have morning sickness, but I did have an aversion to dessert for quite a while. I also have GD so I've been eating somewhat healthier than usual, but nothing drastic.</p> <p>If you did lose significant weight while pregnant, at what stage did you start gaining? </p>
