Still losing weight :( Doc is worried..

posted 3rd Oct
After I found out I was pregnant my first visit I found out I was 2 lbs lighter then normal I thought maybe because I am watching what I eat. My latest doctors appt. I am 3 months exactly I found out that I have lost a total of 7 lbs and now doctor is worried that the baby isn't getting the nutrients it needs  
I have been throwing up like crazy but medicine the doc gave me makes me too tired to do anything.. Advice?

I lost 10 lbs from the time I got pregnant until about 15w. In the last 2w I've gained 8 of it back... I have 'all day' sickness and the medicine the doc gave me doesn't help. I found that eating as much as I can in those windows of opportunity and not sticking just to salads, etc. I've started putting the weight on.. Hang in there.. you're not alone   xo

Tbh 7lb weight loss in a span of 3 months isn't that bad. I'd be more worried if it were more drastic.

With my daughter I lost way more and my doctors weren't too concerned. She was growing fine at every u/s.

I didnt gain a single pound with my 3rd. I took protein shakes and protein bars 3 times a day and still didnt gain any weight. Eli was a little small 5lbs 1oz and 17.5in at 38+2w. But he was IUGR and that didnt really have anything to do with my weight gain.
With my second I actually lost 16lbs and he was born at 35+5w and he weighed 6lbs 4oz.
Your weight doesnt really affect the baby too much. If the baby is growing everything should be fine, the baby will get what it needs from what your body has stored already.
Good luck

I didn't gain a single pound until I was 21 weeks. I actually lost a total of 15 pounds. Unless you are underweight, I wouldn't worry too much. Take your prenatals, and eat small meals several times a day. Try eating more soups with ground up meat and veggies, drink juice. Lemon tea helps greatly with nausea, and so does ginger. Just eat as much as you can whenever you can and drink a lot of water or water based fluids. You need to stay hydrated, especially if you are vomiting

Wow...from my 13week to my 17week check up I lost a total of 11lbs in that 4 weeks span, and my Dr wasn't worried...maybe its because I'm a plus sized mom idk....but as of my 37week check up a week ago I had lost a total of 27lbs and at that time I have only gained 3lbs back and again my Dr isn't worried. I have had a few ultrasounds and this little boy seems to be growing just fine....
