Is anyone finding that they lost weight being pregnant rather than gaining it?

I know a lot of women lose a bit due to ms and whatnot but i didnt really get it that bad, i was never sick more than once every 2 days.

At the start i seemed to gain 5/6lbs out of no where and i weighed myself today and ive dropped back down to 9 stone exactley.

OH is gaining by the minute though haha looks like hes the one getting fatter and not me!!

I was 7stone 2, went up to 8 stone, then up to 8 1/2, then back down to 8 stone, up to 9, down to 8 again and now I'm 8 1/2 stone lol and everytime i weighed myself i made sure i had no clothes on so there was no extra weight

I too have lost weight. Even if you were not sick very much, your body is probably still using up more energy than normal to 'grow' the baby etc. My doc told me they don't worry about it until 20 weeks, but your mw should notice if there is anything that needs attention.

I figure that we must be using up all the calories quicker because i know im eating twice as much as i used to lol

I didnt put anything on in the first tri then I put about 6lbs on, lost nearly all of that, stayed at 6lb on for a while then steadily went up to 1 stone on upto last week ish.

I feel like a big fat moose.

It is proven that when you're carrying a boy you burn twice as many calories than when you're carrying a girl....could it be..........?

I was loosing weight like crazy in the first trimester,now I'm gaining it like crazy!
But I think it's normal for you,every body reacts differently. xxx

Well...I actually haven't gained any weight since pregnant. Its like its evaporating off my legs and arms and face and wherever else and going straight to my bump. My legs are a LOT thinner now and my arms are as well. I guess I must be losing it elsewhere at the same time I'm gaining it on my bump, if that makes any sense?

Ha ha ha i think i should be gaining weight but i think that im just losing my muscle and going to fat, my thighs are now rubbing together WTF!! Even though it says iv only put on 4lbs (tears) i just wish i had a pretty bump there instead of massive thighs ha ha ha!! Think everyone is different in pregnancy
