Extreme Weightloss

Hi Everyone, I wanted to see if there were any other women who lost extreme weight in their pregnancies? This is my second pregnancy and i am 15 wks, so far i have lost 20 lbs and my doctor is really nervous. I have to go back in 2 weeks instead of the average monthly visit. Im a little nervous because they are going to do all this extra testing that wasn't done before in my first pregnancy to test keytones? I do have hyperemisis and am on medication for it and i can occasionally eat a good meal, but i am nervous. Anyone else go through this??

A lot of girls do! How much did you weigh before you got pregnat?
There's a few in the April due date thread I'm in that have lost a ton. I'll see if I can link them to this.

I'm a plus size girl pre-pregnancy weight was 285 down to 268 but have been losing weight since January when i started weight watchers then plateaued at 285 in June, July and got pregnant in August now down to 268.

I don't think you should be too worried then  
Just try eating healthy and keep a log of everything you eat over the course of a few days. It will be very helpful for your doctor!
As long as you're eating healthy its not necessarily a bad or harmful thing to lose weight while pregnant.
If you're not eating a lot try to start eating a yogurt or piece of fruit for breakfast. Maybe some toast with jelly?
And make sure to snack a lot  
A lot of little things will make a big difference, give you more energy and make you feel better.

I lost 30+lbs during my last pregnancy & my doctor wasn't worried at all. But I was very sick.

hey, I lost 40 pounds (ouch) while I was pregnant the 1st time with my Naomi. Since I didn't know I was pregnant with her till 15 weeks, and never got prenatal care till then, the Dr never knew I lost that much weight in the 1st trimester because I started gaining the normal 1 pound a week after coming in their office for visits.

Im almost near my end an I was at 270+ an i now weigh 228 im almost 38 weeks , my doctor hasnt seemed concerned cause baby is growing good an very active an all tests have came back normal   dont worry some people dont gain or lose my first I only gained 7 lbs an he was 7 lbs 3 ounces an then my second i gained 60 an she was only 6 lbs 3 ounces so it really just depends on your body at the time  

I am 33 weeks and have lost 60 lbs. Dr does not seem to care...
