Weight Gain Concerns

I'm 34 weeks pregnant, suffered severe morning sickness and lost about 15lbs, I've gained back those 15lbs, and eventually got about 3lbs heavier than I was before I became pregnant, but I have lost those 3 lbs and remain at my pre-pregnancy weight. I have been healthy eating, which has involved cutting out a lot of junk food (my diet was really quite bad until recently), so I have replaced chocolate etc with fruit. I am eating properly, but am concerned about my losing of weight and the fact that I haven't actually put anything on in at least a month (my midwife has only ever weighed me once, when I was 12 weeks!). The baby seems to be growing fine no conerns there. Any ideas?

As long as your eating and your little one is growing properly I wouldnt worry about it. Everyones body handles pregnancy different, maybe your just a lucky one. My weight has been up and down with this pregnancy I havent gained much but with my first I gained 50 so go figure...I really wouldnt worry about it hun =]

My friend's sister went to the doctor yesterday and they said she's still losing weight. She eats a lot. They just said the baby's taking everything from her. They didn't seem worried.

I too was getting a little concerned about my weight. I am 22 wks and have gained 10 lbs, only a little under from where I should be. However, I have not gained an ounce in over 3 wks, but my belly continues to grow. I have had what we think is gall bladder pblms, so I am limiting the amount of food I eat. By no means am I starving myself. I don't have an OB appt for another 2 wks, hopefully everything is fine.
But I agree, for you, if your baby is the right weight and size, I wouldn't be worried

As long as your doc isn't worried, then you shouldn't be. Everyone is different when it comes to weight gain. With DD3 I had emergency surgery at 26 weeks and ended up coming down with c-diff (nasty ass bug) and lost 10 lbs in 3 days. I ended up losing a total of 13 pounds and then remained steady until the end of pg.

As long as you are eating fine and getting water I wouldn't worry about it.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
