Weight loss at 17 weeks 6 days

[Laurenh1995]

I've noticed Im loosing weight, a was putting weight on, before pregnancy i was 7 stone 10 roughly, and a couple days ago i was 8stone 6 now in a couple days im down to 8stone 3?? Am 17 weeks and 6 days should i be worried that am loosing weight?? Anyone else experienced this

I’m further along - but I’ve lost over a kilo since the start of third trimester . Baby was measuring small but now is on track so I guess the weight loss is just me. Midwife didn’t seem to worry since baby is gaining weight.

@weavingwandering ah really, everything seemed fine at 12 week scan measuring ok etc. Heard heartbeat for first time last week also, just i put weight on straight away then all of a sudden i seem to be loosing it, strange isnt it.i havent managed to be able to get in touch with my midwife but i suppose i will keep an eye. Nothing serious like cramps, pains or bleeding though. Maybe I've just ate less or exercised more im hoping nothing to worry about. Got anomaly scan next Friday also

The early weight gain could have been bloating and water weight

Not long till the scan! :)!

@kona84 yeah think it was all mostly bloat and water, dont really have bump yet either still waiting that, mostly just look fat and chubbier than before pregnancy, only look pregnant at end of day or after meals so deffo still mostly bloat, @weavingwandering yeah not long left to go till scans literally seems longer when waiting need to stop counting the days 🤣

I was similar weights to you OP, 7.5stone to begin with, shot up to 8 stone straight until around 17weeks where I went back to just over 7.5 stone. It was at this point where I lost a lot of my bloating. Now at 29 weeks and 7.5 stone is sadly a thing of that past, praying that is all baby and baby related weight though!

@buckingmad ah really thats so weird we are so similar in situation, apart from im only 18 weeks and your now 29, vut literally so similar in weight etc glad Its not just me then. Everything normal and going well and growth ok with your pregnancy though? Ive been so worried, bearing in mind a dont have a bump either so it just looks like fat but lost weight and looks like belly shrinking 🤔🤷‍♀️

@Laurenh1995 yeah all fine. Baby measuring bang on expected weight wise at my first growth check. I was just bloated until about 18 weeks then my bump started popping out. Really ramped up from 24 weeks onwards and now I’m huge!

@buckingmad aww brilliant glad everything is ok with baby and pregnancy. Hopefully it was all just bloat with me too

@buckingmad ive weighed myself today and looks like im gaining weight again so must just be bloat etc. Still no bump though still just look to chubby like ive ate all the pies 😂, got scan next week hopefully that goes well, scans are so nerve wrecking for me.

I'm 15 weeks and I swear I looked more pregnant few months ago than I do now 😂

My clothes are loose on me and I've either lost weight or lost all the bloating etc. Also don't have a definitive bump yet, just look like my normal self with some rolls 🤭

My midwife did my weight at 12 weeks and since then I've noticed the weight. Hopefully she'll tell me if something is wrong.

I'm 32 weeks and still weigh exactly the same as my pre-pregnancy weight despite having a massive belly. I just haven't had any appetite at all throughout the pregnancy. I mentioned this to my midwife and she didn't seem concerned at all.

@mysleepingangel im literally the same i looked more pregnant at 15 weeks than i do noe at 18 weeks. Must be 100% just bloat i do notice by end of day i always look more pregnant anyway, im still in pre pregnancy clothes some are a bit tight some are a bit loose, im deffo gaining weight though espically in the last few days.

@fiestymumma ah really aslong as everything ok and no one is concerned, i guess we are all different etc. I've had more of an appetite since pregnancy before pregnancy i didnt eat much and hated eating, but now i cant stop 😂 probably why im gaining weight so quickly too, just found it strange how i put weight on then lost it, but seem to be putting it back on now.

I’m similar though slightly (much!) heavier than you to start off with!

At 7 weeks I was 66kg, then went down to 61 within a couple of weeks and now I’m back to around 65kg- I’m 22 weeks.

Had 20w scan a couple of weeks ago ans baby measuring fine. I’m hoping it means I’ve lost weight myself as the baby is growing fine, and I have an obvious bump now.

Wait until your scan and if all is well with your baby and their growth then I wouldn’t worry :)

I was way too heavy before getting pg (BMI of 26!) and I’m terrified of gaining too much, but as long as the baby is healthy, any loss is a bonus

@fro93 ah really, crazy how you can loose it and put it back on so quickly. Congratulations on pregnancy too.glad everything is all well and healthy. Yeah i have scan next Friday. Ive had no cramps or bleeding so hopefully little one is alll fine and everything goes well at my 12 week scan everything was great, just have to wait and see fingers crossed. I dont have a bump yet though just look chubbier with bit more of a belly than pre pregnancy
