I am 21 weeks pregnant and have lost weight since I have been 6 weeks pregnant is this concerning as I am overweight in the beginning I have been eating normal? thanks

Depends on your height

It would only be concerning if you hadn't been trying to lose weight....
Have you been trying to? Or have you any reason you can think of for the weight loss?

sorry that's meant to say 10 stone 8 not 10 stone! So not that drastic however find it strange that am just not putting it on over the weeks, no I haven't been trying too mabye the sickness I was sick up until about 14 weeks but not anymore x

I wouldn’t worry OP as long as the midwives are happy the baby is growing, I lost weight until the last few weeks of pregnancy and ds was a perfectly health 7lb 15oz

If you were overweight pre-pregnancy, then it isn't an issue. I list a stone, whichni regained weeks 26-33 and weeks 33-37 I've gained 7lbs. So I'm now 7lbs over my start weight.

it is OK to lose weight in the first & second trimester if your overweight or obese to begin with (I was told by a consultant). They just don’t recommend you actively dieting (so I was told).

Speak to your midwife and your next appointment about it if your worried though

Don't worry. I lost 10lbs in the first trimester from nausea and going off food, and only started gaining weight at about 20 weeks. I was a bit overweight to start with so I wasn't worried, and the baby was growing fine! I'm now 30 weeks and have put on 7lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight so I'm back on track for the recommended weight gain.

I lost 13.5lb up until week 20. Now I've put on about 5lb since then, so still 8.5lb lighter than I started at 24 weeks but midwife not worried as I was carrying some "excess" to start too! X
