I’m 38 weeks pregnant and I’m loosing weight fairly rapidly which my midwife said should not be happening. Iv lost on the scales 17lbs in 8 weeks. The amount iv actually lost can’t be worked out due to having a baby growing inside rapidly, extra blood, amniotic fluid, placenta, which would be gaining weight. So it’s complicated so my weight loss could be much more. For around the 8 weeks iv also been suffering terrible night sweats even afternoon naps on the sofa I wake up soaking wet! I visited my gp yesterday and he asked about my eating which I’m eating a fair amount I’m heavily pregnant and hungry, he asked if I have noticed any lumps or bumps in my neck, breast, groin, lymph nodes. I haven’t checked throughly but I plan on doing so when I have a shower later but I can’t say iv noticed anything like that. So he’s ran a battery of blood tests today and I’m so scared at what he’s looking for. I’m only in my 20s and have young children and pregnant. In my last pregnancies I didn’t loose weight I gained and gained then lost weight afterwards when trying too! This time I’m not trying at all and it’s still just keeps coming off. I’m so scared. The dr also asked if there is any cancers in my family, I said there was for some old uncles but they were smoking related. I’m just so worried!! What else could cause my symptoms of rapid weight loss and night sweats?
