Ok, I've heard about women losing weight throughout the whole pregnancy, but I always thought that they kept getting bigger even with the weight loss.
But I'm 8 weeks along and I've actually lost weight and dropped a size. I've never heard of this! Not that I'm really complaining, but should I be worried about how the baby is growing?

Don't worry. The baby takes what nutrients it needs from you, whether by way of the food you eat or by breaking down your excess fat and muscle. As long as you are still a healthy weight, losing a few pounds is usually not an issue, especially in the first trimester. Just keep taking those prenatal vitamins.

losing weight in early pregnancy is normal usually due to morning sickness/hormones. BUt eventually u should be gaining weight lil by lil.

I lost 8 pounds in the beginning... I didn't start gaining until the second trimester... but then I went from 120 to 162... I gained alright... but 3 months after I had the baby I was back to my pre-pregnancy size.
The baby doesn't even get to be 3 inches long until you are about 13 weeks along... it's more just making everything which takes up a LOT of your calories!!!

It is common to lose the weight in the first trimester because most woman are so sick that they don't eat a lot of calories, throw everything back up......when you get to second trimester you will start putting on some weight. If you don't start putting on weight around the second trimester is usually when the Dr's have you talk to a nutritionist to make sure you are eating enough calories. The main thing to the Dr is that baby is growing and doing good not if you are gaining a lot of weight. With my second pregnancy I weighed less when i gave birth to him than I did when i got pregnant with him. It was weird but he was born weighing 8 lbs 9.7 oz so it didn't affect him any lol. (he was born at 36 wks)

that's normal.. you will gain back your weight in the next trimester.

The same thing happened to me. Im actually 5 months and have only gained 6 pounds but Im overweight so my recommended weight gain is low, but anyway dont worry about it before you know it you'll be stretched beyond belief! Good luck!

yes it is normal but make sure you keep in touch with your doctor on this..

No this is quite normal. You should maybe think about eating more but the baby gets what it need before you do so, it should be growing just fine.

My fiance lost weight in the first trimester due to morning (all day really) sickness. She didn't start gaining weight until week 13 when her morning sickness went away...

I am thirty nine weeks and through my whole pregnancy i lost a total of 11 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight. But i did feel really bloated in the beginning. As of last week the total amount of weight i have gained from my pre pregnancy weight is 12 pounds but i feel huge.
