Weight loss in first trimester

Hi, just looking for other people's experiences here. I'm 10+4 and have lost 11lbs since around 4 weeks. I lost weight during the first trimester with DD1 but not as much as this, despite having far worse sickness in that pregnancy. I have been nauseous and sick on and off and have definitely seen a big drop in my appetite so I'm not surprised by the weight loss and know I'll very likely make up for it in the second and third trimesters!

However my DH and others around me are expressing concern at the amount of weight I've lost (not noticeable physically, only known from the scales) and I just wanted some reassurance that it's normal? If relevant I'm a size 10/12 so not big but according to my BMI I was just into the overweight category prior to being pregnant (25.5)

Ask your midwife, but I lost 1.5 stone and 1 stone respectively in the first trimester of each of my pregnancies due to sickness, and the midwives couldn't care less!
