I'm losing weight!

I always lose weight in the first trimester too, not 10 pounds but usually some. I have no appitite and I swear my metabolism shoots up making me almost jittery but with no energy.

First preg, I lost weight in the first trimester, then gained it back by the end of that trimester, so at the end, I was the same weight as where I'd started. I hadn't ever thrown up during that time, but I was conciously trying to eat healthier. Unfortunately, when I eat healthier, I end up eating alot less because my range of "likes" is very small - I'm a VERY picky eater. My midwife told me to eat more (she didn't think I'd been eating enough when she looked at my diet sheet), and I gained 22 lbs during the 2nd trimester! Preg ended just a week and a half later (good results, thankfully!), so I doubt I'd gained much more than that 22 lbs by the end, but if I'd gone full term, I'm sure I would have been over the "recommended" weight gain, not that my midwife would care. She was more worried that I wasn't eating enough for the baby rather than being worried about me gaining weight, and I think she was right.

This preg, I've gained 3 lbs so far, and I'm only 7.5 weeks. Also, I started out more overweight than last time, and I'm in the weight range where the "recommended" amount of gain is 15-25 lbs, and I barely make it in that range. I hadn't lost the first pregnancy weight, since I seem to be one of those people that GAINS weight while breastfeeding! : Of course, I still love breastfeeding and won't let a little (or alot!) weight gain deter me. My sister gained weight while breastfeeding too, but now she's lost all that weight (it took several years, but her son is 7 now and she's a good weight again).

Its normal, just remember your body will do what it need to do to grow a healthy babe. As long as you are eating healthy!
Some woman loose, some gain and some stay the same.
