Did anyone lose weight during their pregnancy?

Obviously I haven't done this intentionally, but this morning I thought I'd check how much I weigh, and I've realised that in total I've lost nearly two stone.... 1.5 of that in the last week and a half.

I'm a big lass anyway, so it's not like I couldn't do with losing a bit of weight, but obviously this has frightened me a bit because I'm scared of hurting my baby

I'm going to be a terrible mother aren't I?

Just because you've lost weight, doesn't mean you'll be a terrible mum.. I never lost weight but I don't think it'd harm the baby.

While the idea is NOT to lose weight at all when you're pregnant.. I think your body takes nutrients and gives them to the baby as needed.. well, that's what my nutrition b*tch explained to me anyway. I think I read somewhere that it's the other way around.. so I'm not sure, but if you're worried call up your doctor !!

Well you are quite early on and i think its quite common due to nausea and sickness, baby taking what it wants etc.

At the start I did, I lost loads from the sickness and only now am I putting it back on again. Said to midwife sho isnt worried as everything else is fine and the baby does eat your calories apparently.

I've post 10 pound so far, and as you said, i could do with losing it!
It was the midwife that told me when she weighed me yesterday, she didnt seem bothered. As others have said its like when you have severe morning sickness and barely eat, the baby will still get what it needs...

I lost 10 # when due with my Daughter. I just was that sick, I could hold nothing. However I made a healthy rebound to a plump size

I think as long as you take vitamins you should be ok and pass for a bit.
