Bit surprised honestly, I expected to gain but instead lost a kilo or two in early weeks. Eating less because of nausea so maybe thats why? Is losing weight normal as a pregnancy sign or should I worry?
My grandmother told me to eat ghee to gain weight, but my doctor explained that losing a little weight in the early weeks is normal if you feel nauseous. Just trust your doctor and don't force yourself to overeat if you feel sick.
Look, weight loss isn't a direct sign of pregnancy, but it often happens in the first trimester if you have severe nausea and vomiting. If you can't keep any food down and are losing too much weight, go see your doctor immediately instead of ignoring it.
Oh, I lost almost 3 kgs in my first trimester because my morning sickness was so severe! It can be so draining, but try sucking on small ginger pieces or sipping coconut water. If the vomiting is heavy, please consult your gynac for safe anti-nausea medication.
I completely understand how worrying it feels to see the scale go down when you expect to gain weight. It happens to many moms due to early food aversions and nausea. Be gentle with yourself, you will catch up on weight in the second trimester.
My doctor explained that early weight loss is quite common if you are suffering from morning sickness or loss of appetite. However, she warned that significant weight loss in the first trimester needs medical evaluation to ensure the baby is getting enough nutrients.
