Almost 17 weeks and I've lost weight - anyone else?

Went on the scales today at 16+5 and I'm currently nearly half a stone less than I was at my first appointment approx 10 weeks ago despite having quite a sizeable bump!

Should I be concerned? I'm definitely not actively dieting or trying to lose weight but my starting BMI was around 32 so I do have weight I can lose.

I was very sick in the first trimester but it's a lot better now (throwing up 1-2 times a week rather than each day), not had much of an appetite the whole pregnancy but eating little and often. Definitely not starving myself.

Anyone else had this? Any concerns for baby? I'm taking multivitamins and trying to eat healthily.

This is the opposite to my first pregnancy when I wanted to eat everything in sight!

I lost until 16 weeks- but then properly put on. I was queasy for a while and put on when it stopped. I wouldn't worry yet but keep an eye.

My baby is 16 now but, I definitely did as I ate so, so carefully (nutritionally) and stopped booze obvs) plus walked for an hour each evening.

I think I lost at least that and then gained a bit 3rd trimester.

I lost over half a stone in my first trimester and it took a long time to regain it and then in the third trimester the sickness returned and then I started to lose weight again. I had to find any opportunities to try to eat and hope I kept it down to start gaining weight.

I got my midwife to weigh me at 25ish weeks and again at 36 weeks for a bit of reassurance.
