Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi I am a little past 18 weeks and I have not gained a single pound, in fact I have lost over 10 lbs. I am 2 yrs post op 5'9 and when I found out I was preg, 198, as of this morning I am 183. I am not by any means watching calories. If anything I have been eating too much, but I have had a lot of morning sickness, which has just started getting better. My ob does not seem too concerned. But I am worried. Not that I wouldn't love to not gain weight but I know this is not realistic. Has anyone else gone through this?/ Jen edd April 24th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 I was really ill the first few months of this pregnancy and lost weight also, about 10 pounds or so. Now at this point I have gained 30 and it scares me. The weight thing just gets us either way in this!! I am trying to relax and reassure myself that although my appetite and food volume size has increased throughout the pregnancy, that I will still be able to manage this tool after the birth and hopefully I haven't damaged it.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi Jen, I didnt gain weight until my 4th month, and now at the beginning of my 9th month, I have more then made up for it with an almost 30 pound weight gain!!! I am sure you will start gaining eventually, but if your doctor isnt worried about it, and the baby looks fine, then I wouldnt worry too much. Have they done ultrasounds on you yet to make sure baby is growing ok? If they have, and if the baby is, then you and baby are just fine. Some people just dont gain, (I dont like those people very much lol) Ü j/k....I feel the same way about women who go in with 2 hour labors! ha ha.......Anyway, good luck to you and let us know your progress!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Jen- I am now at almost 29 weeks. I lost about 15 lbs in the first couple months of pregnancy. My ultrasound showed the baby growing just right for her dates and she looked very healthy-- so you can lose weight and be just fine. I, too, had lots of all-day sickness, vomiting, the works. You may or may not begin to gain again as you feel better. I gained some of what I lost back but now I am leveling off and have not gained in sveeral weeks, I think primarily because as the baby gets bigger, I just can't eat as much. Anyhow, good luck and try not to worry! Amy Y.
