really worried about weight someone help please

[beckie90]

well im currently nearly 13 weeks pregnant.
and im really concerned as ive lost so much weight.
after having my son nearly 2 yrs ago, i went to bout 8 stone 12 and remained that way untill bout 15 weeks ago where i cut down abit as i had been overeating, and went to about 8 and half stone and then since finding out i was pregnant, i seemed to be loosing more, so when i went to the hospital the other day for my scan and they weighed me was shocked to discover i weighed a horrible 7 stone 8. im just over 5'5
its really worrying me. has this happend to anyone else?

I lost nearly 2 stone in the first trimester of my second pg due to sickness.

I lost about half a stone in my first pg during 1st trimester.

A bit of loss is okay, normal. Are you eating okay?

Have you had a word with your mw?

no i didnt know i'd lost so much and then i didnt believe the hospital scales lol.
tbh i really dont know as ive always been an over eater i know i dont eat no were near as much as i use to, but i dont know if its 2000 calories or not. in the early weeks i didnt eat alot due to been nauseous all time, but eating ok now and still loosing not gaining.

Speak to your midwife or GP about it if you're worried. As long as you're eating well and not overdoing things you should be ok.

I'd speak to your MW. Using a site like fitday can help to track your calorie intake & expenditure for a week or so.

You may find as well that your metabolism goes up in pregnancy so you'll need to eat more calories to not lose weight. Mine did - I've been eating what I want throughout and have lost loads of weight apart from bump & boobs.

i think its a combination of things really, worrying alot plus dont think i do eat 2000 a day but not far off, also having a 2 year old to look after who still doesnt sleep. and my metabolism as probably sped up as im only 20 anyway.
just one cncern i have is that my urine tests keep showing blood in my urine combined with loosing weight i just keep thinking bad things

Definately see your midwife, it could be something treatable like gestational diabetes but you need to get checked out for your own peace of mind.

I lost a lot of weight in the first trimester - well over stone. Although I am overweight so I was more pleased with this than anything else!!

Midwife advised that this was normal for many women, especially early on, as the morning sickness can make eating and keeping anything down a real strain. I remember days where the most I could manage was a handful of strawberries and a snack tub of pineapple!!!

If your worried talk to your doctor. But as long as you are trying to eat and eating as healthily as possible (sometimes difficult with cravings and sickness I know!) then I don't think you should have anything to worry about!

Definitely talk to your MW - you may have an infection that could be suppressing your appetite.

i dont have any kind of urine infections or anything, thats all been checked out, so why i am getting blood in my urine is unknown at the moment, there just trying to keep an eye on it. seem to be eating abit more in the last few days, so hopefully will manage to put on some weight
