Im about 10 weeks and instead of gaining ive actually lost a bit, prob coz I cant eat much with the nausea. Is losing weight normal this early or should I worry? pls share ur experience.
Yes, it is actually quite common to lose a bit of weight in the first trimester, especially if you have bad morning sickness! 😊 Don't worry, your appetite will return soon and you'll catch up on weight in the second trimester!
I lost about 2 kgs in my first trimester because of severe nausea and office stress. Focus on staying hydrated with coconut water or lime juice during work hours, and don't stress about the weight. You will easily gain it back once the second trimester starts.
Haha yes, the 'pregnancy glow' in the first trimester is sometimes just sweat from vomiting! Losing a couple of kilos because you can't stand the smell of food is totally normal. Don't worry, the baby is tiny right now and getting all the nutrients they need.
I completely understand how terrifying it is to see the scale drop when you expect to gain weight. I panicked so much during my first trimester because I lost 2 kgs. It's actually very normal due to nausea and food aversions, so please take a deep breath.
I had the exact same concern, so I asked my consultant at the hospital. They reassured me that losing 1-2 kgs initially due to morning sickness is perfectly fine as long as you stay hydrated. Just mention it to your doctor or the hospital nutritionist during your next scan.
