weight loss.

I was very overweight when I got pregnant but I keep continuing to lose weight. So far I've lost 24.6 pounds and I'll be 17 weeks on Wednesday. Did anyone else have this problem. At first I was happy to lose weight to be healthy but I'm worried about hurting my baby.

I promise you your completely fine. I'm 19 weeks haven't gained any weight.  Lost weight and the baby is perfect.  It didn't matter how tall or how much you weight as long as baby measures up during ultrasound it's perfectly fine.

I was 230 pre pregnancy and lost about 15 lbs at first too. Im 39 weeks now and have gained that all back plus some. Weight loss seems pretty common in early pregnancy.  If your Doc isnt worried I wouldnt be either  :)

With my first two I lost weight in the beginning but ended up gaining what I lost back plus 3 pounds. With my pregnancy now. I haven't gained any weight and I will be 9 months tomorrow. As long as baby is growing and healthy it's fine

How much do you weigh now / how tall are you?

I was 130,  gained 20 pounds,  then got pregnant. Then shot down to 120.
My doctors didn't seem worried,  and I'm tiny and tall. I weigh 167 now... And they still aren't worried.

Your body is making changes it needs to make. As long as you're eating healthy n_-
