Im 3 months in and instead of gaining ive actually dropped a kg or two. Eating is hard because of the nausea, food just doesnt go down. Is losing weight normal in early pregnancy or should i worry?
Actually, in the first trimester, it's quite common for some women to lose a little weight due to severe morning sickness or changes in diet. My doctor said as long as it's not excessive and you're getting enough nutrients, it's usually okay. The focus is more on gradual, healthy weight gain overall, not losing. If it's sudden or a lot, definitely consult your gynac to rule out any underlying issues.
Haan beta, sometimes in the beginning, with all that ulti-dast (vomiting and loose motions), some weight can drop. It happened to my Bhabhi too. Try to eat light, ghar ka khana. Nimbu pani, thoda ginger tea for the nausea, helps a bit. But if you feel weak or it's too much, you must tell your lady doctor immediately. They will know what's best.
In the very early months, especially if you have bad morning sickness, some women do lose a bit of weight, it's true. I know a few friends it happened to. But usually, your body starts gaining later. The main thing is to eat nutritious food when you can, even small frequent meals. And remember, your baby takes what they need first, so don't stress too much, just keep your doctor informed.
Umm, I'm actually not pregnant yet, trying to conceive, but I've heard some women do lose weight in the first few months. I guess it's because of all the morning sickness and food aversions, na? It sounds a bit worrying though. I hope it's not serious. I think it's always best to ask the doctor about these things.
Oh, I totally understand why you'd be worried about this! Pregnancy is already such an anxious time. I also lost some weight in my first trimester because I couldn't keep anything down. It felt really scary! But my doctor reassured me it's quite normal for some women, especially with nausea. Just keep track and talk to your doctor so they can keep an eye on you, okay? You're not alone in feeling this.
