Weight loss in first trimester.

Hi folks,
I'm 9+1 and am worried about weight loss. Initially it was due to morning sickness as I was eating less. However for the past 2/3 days I have been eating around 1600 kcals but am still hungry and am still losing weight. I've read that this is a sign of impending miscarriage or that a missed miscarriage has already occured. Any advice? I'm pretty worried. Cheers!

Hi OP. Sorry to hear you're so worried. Lots of women do lose weight in the first trimester, especially if they've been sick. You're using up a lot of energy growing a baby, remember, so it's likely you need a bit more than 1,600 calories a day at the moment. You wouldn't actually be expecting to gain much weight though at this stage, either, and we've never heard of this as being a sign of miscarriage.

If you're worried, give your midwife team a ring or pop in and see your GP though. They should be able to set your mind at rest.

Hopefully someone else will be along soon who might be able to help.
