Doctor's Appointment Update.

Its been a while. But I had my second Dr.
appt on monday (1-7). She said that I was
about 12 weeks along. We got to hear the
baby's heart beat which seemed completely
amazing to DH and I. And I lost 12 pounds
in 4 weeks. The doctor didnt seem to happy
about it but she wasnt really mad about it
either. Afterall, I have had morning
sickness worse than anything in the world
this whole pregnancy and have barely been
able to eat or drink anything. I go back
to the doctor on february 4th.

Hearing the heartbeat is amazing. I lost
quite a bit of weight in the early weeks
of my pregnancy too; I had morning
sickness like mad! I gained it back plus
some later on though!!

Has she(your Dr.), maybe prescribed you
any type of medicne for your sickness? It
can't be healthy to lose 12lbs in a
month.
My best friend lost 24lbs in the first 2
months and had to be hospitalized for
severe dehydration 3 times. It was
HORRIBLE!!
She had to stay on Phenergan(a med), and
Anzimet her ENTIRE pregnancy for nausia.
Her body did NOT tolerate EITHER of her
pregnancies!
I hope you start feeling better SOON!!
Congrats!!
Sarah

Yeah. I have had really bad morning
sickness. The doctor actually said that
she wants me to keep losing some weight at
least for now because I am actually quite
heavy though I have been told I dont look
it. She said it would be bettere for me
and baby if I were to keep losing weight.
Of course I know that she wont want me to
keep losing weight for long since it wont
be good for the baby. But I think a lot of
it is that I have basically cut out all
caffeine which seems amazing because I was
drinking tons of it.

I never lost weight at the start, but i
didn't really gain much. Don't worry
you'll gain the most at the end. As long
as you eat healthy, and take care of
yourself that's what matters.

I didn't lose any either. But then again,
when I didn't eat/snack, is when I started
to feel sick!
I actually lost 3.5lbs last week. So my
weight loss started at the very end!!
I gained the majority from months 3-8!!!
LOL!

She gave me a prescription for my morning
sickness but it makes me really tired and
usually within 45 minutes of taking it I
pass out asleep. And every once in a while
when I take it it actually makes the
nausea worse. I still drink and eat as
much as I can but alot of what I eat and
drink ends up coming back up. I have
stopped eating anything that is really
unhealthy because then at least what I do
manage to keep down is healthy stuff.

toast with peanut butter! LOL!

I never thought about the greasy food
thing Sarah. Thanks for that little info.
I dont usually eat to much greasy food but
that would explain some of it.

This is dependant completely on the weight
she starts out at. Like, someone who is
low weight SHOULD NOT lose weight during
pregnancy. However, someone who is
overweight is advised NOT TO gain any
weight at all.
The majority of pregnancy weight comes on
towards the end of pregnancy, so she could
very well gain back all she has lost plus
some more.

At this point im thinking it isnt the fun

pregnant and not gaining any weight is
just strange to me.

i dont think its exactly HEALTHY for a
doctor to tell a pregnant woman to LOSE
weight and that its ok.. They would ask
you to NOT GAIN.. but i dont see a doctor
saying its ok to lose.
hm.

exactly what she told me was that 12
pounds in 4 weeks was a lot to lose but if
I lost half that in the same amount of
time it wouldnt be a bad thing.

| Quote: | Is it okay to
lose weight during pregnancy?
Pregnancy is definitely not the time to go
on a weight-loss diet: Restricting your
food intake is potentially hazardous to
you and your developing baby. But many
plus-sized women do experience weight loss
without dieting during pregnancy.
In the first trimester, it's common to
lose weight as the result of morning
sickness: The nausea can diminish your
appetite, and the vomiting can cause you
to lose calories. But don't worry, your
baby your baby will still get all the
calories he needs. Overweight women have
an extra reserve of calories in stored
fat, so as your baby grows, it's okay for
you to maintain or even lose a little
weight.
