Lost 5 lbs????
How is that possible? Is this normal in early pregnancy? I mean I gained a little weight bc I wasn't going regularly but now that I've gotten better I dropped 5 lbs (in a few days)...should I be concerned or is weight fluctuation like that normal? I should add that I've been exercising regularly and watch what I eat (bc the baby is picky).

Re: Lost 5 lbs????
I lost 7lbs between my 8 week appt and my 12 week appt. I think its because I really have no appetite for the amount of food that I used to eat. For example, I could eat a whole plate of pasta- now I can only eat like a few bites and I'm totally turned off. I am also craving fresh fruits and vegetables- which is not the norm for me- so thats why I think I lost that weight. My dr is not concerned- as long as I am eating.

Re: Lost 5 lbs????
I lost a bit in the beginning too. When I got the BFP I was at the tail end of a huge diet & was still losing weight. DR told me that if I had not gained by my 16w visit that she would put me on a diet to gain. At my 12w visit I levelled off & then I gained at my 16w. The baby was growing normally (actually ahead of schedule) so she was not too worried in the beginning.
Of course the best person to talk to is your Dr.

I also noticed that I've been craving a lot of fruit and vegetables as opposed to carbs that I used to love. My doctor says that Im in great shape and shouldn't worry about anything but when I stepped on the scale this morning (more like 100x) and saw the weight drop, I was pretty surprised.

Re: Lost 5 lbs????
I had lost 4 Lbs by 12 wks. Not because of m/s but because of portion control. I don't overeat nor have icecream, donuts cravings.
I had "plenty" of reserve to begin with anyway. I gained some weight in my 2nd trimester.

Re: Lost 5 lbs????
I lost 13 lbs in the first 13 weeks. I have only gained 9 back by 31 weeks.
It's normal. Could be a lot of things, eating healthier, m/s, etc. but really not something to be worried about.

Re: Lost 5 lbs????
I lost 13 pounds by week 12, and it took me until my 20th week to gain any weight at all...
I am up about 35 pounds now at almost 36 wks, but my dr. is ok with it, and I know I'll lose it - I'm not a big eater, so I'm assuming after the baby is born I will eat the way I usually do, and once I start working out, I'll drop any excess weight....
