Weight Loss In First Trimester- Normal Posted: 01-14-07 16:52pm
I am in my tenth week and have lost 5 lbs
(2 kg) in the past month. I don't have
morning sickness, but I do have aversion
to meat (i can handle poultry at times)
and most fish (need to stock up on canned
salmon). I eat lots of fresh fruit and
vegetables, thin toasts and crackers, and
try to get fiber through cereal, though
too much milk bothers me. I saw my ob-gyn
today and she didn't seem too concerned
with my weight loss. She did say my
appetite should pick up in the fourth
month. Should I be worried?
I am fairly thin, I am small boned and
have never weighed more than 115 lbs.

If your ob isnt conserned I doubt its a
big deal, im 22 weeks (on tuesday) and I
havent gained anything yet, actualy I
wouldnt doubt if ive lost a few pounds, as
long as your eating healthy I dont think
theres a problem
but id be careful with the fish, im not
sure about salmon but I know some kinds of
fish are bad for you when your pregnant
just keep eating healthy and everything
should be fine

hi - I wouldn't worry much yet if your ob
doesn't seem to concerned, but talk to her
about this if it continues!
And do be careful about fish..........I
have 2 books that say the same thing - you
should only eat up to one 6oz can of fish
per week. So all those salmon cans you
want to buy, you should only eat one a
week!!!!!!!!! And try to eat minimal or
none of shell fish - guess they are not
that good either for pregnant women!
Congrats, and I hope you feel better soon!
You're fine, a lot of people lose in the
first trimester. I personally gained
like 30 pounds in my first trimester, and
now i'm losing some of that in my
second.
I had morning sickness, but I only
actually threw up like 3 times. I would
constantly eat fast food because if I
didn't eat something the second I wa
shungry I got sick. I eat really
heathily until I get pregnant, then I live
on crap. How backweards is that?

I weighed 112 at my first prenatal visit,
so I understand your worry about a small
weight. Honestly, you're fine. Your
hormones are going to be all over the
place, and some foods are going to seem
downright disgusting. It will probably
pass in your second trimester and you'll
begin a steady gain.
