Weight loss during 1st trimester

4 replies

I was wondering how much weight people have lost during their 1st trimester?

I lost about 3kg with my 1st.

I'm 12w now with my 2nd and have already lost 4kg and no sign of sickness subsiding, I cant even keep water down at the moment. Just wondering if there's a 'safe' amount to lose. Im a good weight anyway (66kg) so not worried about me but more the baby not getting any nutrients.

It's all dependant upon each person.
The main thing is that baby is growing. It's hard to tell

If you can't keep water down, you really need to see your GP. There is medication that can really help.

I lost 2kg between 10 and 13 weeks. Haven’t been weighed since then though.

You really need to see someone if you aren’t keeping water down

I lost roughly 10 pounds (4.5kg) initially, my midwife told me that so long as I took my folic acid where possible baby would get what they need from my reserves and what little I did eat. She did say that I will feel like crap but baby won’t.

There’s enough to worry about in early pregnancy try not to feel bad about sickness you can’t control.

I would see a doctor regarding the water issue though.
