Anyone else having this problem?

Hmm Im not to sure However I thought I heard that some women actually lose weight early pregnancy not sure if that is always because of MS though. The other thing I thought of was hormones . HEY would you like some of my weight? ALso I think it depends on how much you weighed in the very beginning. I am considered 'technically' under weight for my height and i have already put on 13Lbs.

Last preg, I lost weight in the first trimester (wasn't even throwing up or anything!). I think I was eating healthier, and since I was overweight to begin with, I didn't *need* to gain weight. I made up for it in the 2nd trimester though! I gained 22 lbs. Only made it 1.5 weeks into the third trimester, so I don't know how much I would have gained if I'd gone full term. I'm scared to think about it!

This preg, so far, I've gained 3 lbs... Actually, I gained 6 lbs, then lost 3 lbs (weighed myself yesterday). I was happy to see "200" instead of "203"! I started out at 197, which is obviously overweight. I'm 5'9, and I really should be around 150 when non-preg. So if I lose weight, I'll be immensely happy!

If you started pregnancy underweight, I'd probably give your care provider a call and talk about the weight loss. If you started pregnancy overweight, I probably wouldn't worry about it happening early on, but try to eat plenty of healthy foods (easier said than done sometimes!!!), and keep an eye on it. I tend to accidentally eat less when I'm eating healthy, and my midwife made me eat more last time. If I wasn't pregnant, it'd be a good way to diet! But when preg, you don't want to reduce the calories too much, and that's what I end up doing when I try to eat healthy (I'm a super picky eater and don't like most fruits or veggies, etc.).
