As long as baby is growing, everything is fine! I was a little overweight to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1700013 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:49:06 +0000 cyndistar3 1700013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone, that's definitely reasuring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1699330 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:49:59 +0000 Raindrop 1699330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first pregnancy I lost about 25 lbs during the first and second trimesters, my OB was not concerned at all since I was overweight. She said the baby will take what it needs from me. I was a bit worried too since I read online that even obese people gain weight.</p> <p>I did gain back 10 lbs in my last trimester. :) </p> <p>I had a healthy 7lb 6oz baby boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1699315 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:45:46 +0000 Cole 1699315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 13 in the first trimester and by 22 weeks had only gained back 4 so my (super over cautious, primary care) doctor thought I should see maternal and fetal medicine. She took one look at my chart and basically said I was wasting her time and mine. She said if I am eating, not continuing to lose (due to HG), don't look sick, and my fundal height and other growth indicators all are normal then my weight means nothing. </p> <p>Fwiw, I was just into the overweight category at my prepregnancy weight and fell back into the normal range with my weight loss. I am 2-3 sizes smaller than before and my prepreg ppants just fit again now at 23 weeks but are still lose in the hips and thighs. </p> <p>I was freaking out a bit before seeing the MFM doctor but am just going with it now. It helps that I can see my belly growing and feel her moving around like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1699039 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:55:28 +0000 MrsKRB 1699039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend was overweight when she was pregnant, and I think overall she ended up losing weight by the end of the pregnancy - your baby will find it's nutrition where it needs it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1698479 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:13:32 +0000 MrsRcCar 1698479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost until the 3rd trimester, even then with both boys I gained less then 12 pounds. As long as your doctor ism concerned I wouldn't worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1698209 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 10:09:18 +0000 cyndistar3 1698209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I was nauseated a lot but never threw up, if anything I think I ate more because that's what made me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1698196 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 10:05:29 +0000 HLK208 1698196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have bad morning sickness? I know of some women with HG, that lost instead of gained while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-during-pregnancy#post-1698191 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 10:03:47 +0000 cyndistar3 1698191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it normal to keep losing weight through pregnancy? I've always heard it is normal for first trimester but I am 21 weeks and have lost 18 lbs total as of today. I was overweight to begin with and my midwife doesn't seem concerned but I keep seeing these things saying even if you are obese you should be gaining a little weight. </p>
