Weight loss in pregnancy

[cm21]

Hi

I am just 20 weeks pregnant with my second baby DS has just turned 2. I have recently been ill with the flu and still getting over that. I weighed myself today and have lost 5 lb more then half of the weight I've gained since becoming pregnant. This is due to vomiting and loss of appetite. I'm worried this could be harmful for the developing baby. I'm not due to see my MW for another 8 weeks. Any advice? Also has anyone else been more ill during second pregnancy? My first seemed a walk in the park in comparison to this one

With all three of mine I came out of labour lighter. A combination of sickness, bugs, and plain being too full of baby to eat much saw to that. Babies were healthy.

Ok that's reassuring. Thanks. Just seems odd to loose weight during pregnancy when I gained so much first time round

Ah but you are running around with the older one as well. Have a chat with midwife at next appointment.

I lost loads in first trimester and only regained to my starting weight at 30 weeks. At 35 weeks I've only gained 5lbs and that includes it just having been Christmas!
