How Far along are you?

My sister lost a lot of weight with 2 of her pregnancies and has 3 healthy boys

I lost 8 kilos in the first 3 months of my pregnancy due to M/S. I couldn't eat anything if i did it would come back up. I am nearly 36 weeks now and i have a healthy baby growing.

Go to your GP and get some bloods done , your doc can check for different things that may be causing your weight loss ( for example over active thyroid which is rare but possible), and it will give you some peace of mind.
I suffered minimal m/s and never threw up once yet I have still managed to lose 5kgs ( I am already a small person so 5kgs is quite signifcant for me) and I am 16weeks pregnant now.
I had a blood test and everything seems fine with me and my doc can't explain the loss except that maybe the baby is draining me of my nutrients.
Don't stress about your baby, it will be taking all it needs from you, hence why you may be losing weight!
I am yet to gain any of the weight back yet, but am sure I will eventually.
Goodluck:fingerscrossed:

I've lost weight with both pregnancies in the first trimester- certainly made up for it after that! And I had no m/s at all either.

I lost weight with my first at the start, I think it was the change in diet and the sudden stopping of alcoholic beverages that contributed along with MS/Nausea. Check with your doctor if you are at all concerned, but it seems to be fairly common I think.

when i got pg i was 45 kilos and M/S brang me down to 38 kilos, very under weight.i didnt fit my clothes anymore, the pants fell off me, i was so boney and weak!!

After i did the test i made sure i ate whatever i could regardless of the cost! so i had a beef jerkey stick everyday till my ms went away..i couldnt go shopping because the smell of the bread isle made me vomit and the poor workers had to clean it!!.slowing my ms is getting better and iam putting the weight on steadly with good eating and excercise, now iam 48 kilo's and 18 weeks along! it's been very hard for me the baby put me off my fav food..meat! smells still make me :barf: the last two weeks M/S got worse..it M/S didnt go it just lessened it severity, but the super market is out of mini toast every supermarket in town..and it's hard to eat now! i can still force down the low fat milk and iron tablets, so me and baby will live until the mini toast's get shipped in..i try to be good and have a balanced diet but the more i dont eat the worse it gets.I had AS Syndrom to begin with so my eating was already very restricked before i got pg..but i still managed a healthy diet, now its about making sure i eat everyday..
