My sister wasn't plus size but when she was pregnant she had morning sickness so bad that she lost almost 15 to 20 lbs and the doctor never told her it would poison the baby but that she needed to gain weight, but other then that she was ok, and so was the baby. I'm pretty sure it is ok to lose weight while you are pregnant just not too much, my sister has two kids now one is 5 and the other will be a year old this July! Both babies are great and are very healthy. I hope that helps just a little.

I am plus size 225 lbs and the doctors have said to gain no more than 20, so I don't know if because you weigh more they only want you to gain 10...but i would listen to the doctors. What are you weighing now at 17 weeks if you started at 310?

I am down to 296 on and empty stomach ... I drank a half gallon of water this morning before I went to the doctor and I weight 298.

to be honest thats not unheard of in a plus size pregnancy to lose weight. I gained alot of water weight 60lbs or so. and i started at 200 last time after i had baby i had actually lost ten.

it really just means your metabolism is a bit more reved up and youre body is working better. (unless its from morning sickness.) if youre keep food down and you're eating healthy DONT WORRY. lol just be thankful youre not carying around alot of water weight that is hard on the body. or maybe thats exactly what you are loosing is water. it really is hard to say. but as long as you eat well and baby is doing fine. thats really all that matters. the weight loss is icing on the cake ~.^ some moms lose wieght int he first two trimesters and and gain some of it back in the third.

just take it easy on yourself and enjoy this time.

I know I am not eating like I am suppose to because I have to force myself to eat something at least once a day (I just don't get hungry so I forget to/don't eat) but when my fiance is around he forces me to eat at least 2 or 3 times a day. The doc says he thinks that the baby is taking what it needs from me and that is why I am losing, but I am still worried. And because of all this I wonder if I will ever start showing lol.

i lost 15 lbs with my son. and i started out big with him. the doc was fine with it. As long as you are eating like you should is the pain thing.

I started off at 240 and was told I'm only supposed to gain 10-20 pounds the whole pregnancy. I'm 4 months and I lost 5 pounds at first but then put ten back on so I'm at 245 with a pudge. I google-d plus size pregnancy and its not unheard of to be expected to put on less weight.

Thanks for yalls help I really appreciate it.

I have heard that a small weight gain is normal for plus-sized pregnancies. As long as you are eating and eating healthy foods, it shouldn't matter what your final weight is. The baby should be getting the nutrients it needs from your food.

I weigh about 230 and have lost 5 pounds and am 24 weeks. My doctor said that I could gain 1 pound a month from now on which is only 3 or 4 pounds and doesn't even total an actual pound of weight gain throughout the entire pregnancy and be fine. As long as you are taking prenatal vitamins and eating a good 1800 calories a day you are fine.

I have just found out that i am pregnant, i am just under 6 weeks gone with my second child. At present i am 230lbs. I am petrified of gaining more weight as with my first baby i gained 4stone during the pregnancy just under 3 years ago and i still havnt lost the weight, but aside from that both myself and my son were fine with no complications.

I'm overweight but not hugely so (160 lb) and was 170 with the beginning of last two pregnancies. with first two I gained only 12 - 15 pounds and both girls were are are still healthy ( almost 5 and just turned 3). This pregnancy I have gained about 5 pounds so far (19 weeks). anyway, I know of some ladies that were plus size and didn't actually gain any weight by the end of their pregnancy - lost some and gained some or all back but that is all. They had healthy babies. Hope that helps you a little. God bless you.
