Sudden Weight Loss After Preterm Labor??? Posted: 12-23-04 15:34pm
I went into preterm labor on the 20th at
exactly 24 weeks. I was given meds to
stop the contractions and put on bedrest.
Since that day, ive lost 6 lbs. Ive
been eating regularly if not more then
normal, drinking lots of fluids, but
losing weight!
Is this in anyway okay?
My pre-pregnancy weight is about 120 lbs.
Then I went down to 113 lbs due to
morning sickness. I had went up to 114
lbs at my last appt with my ob/gyn, now im
down to 108 lbs.
Im also high risk due to asthma, multiple
miscarriages, multiple ovarian cysts and a
severe uterus infection.
What is going on and what can be causing
this?
I dont have another appointment with my
ob/gyn until next week...
Thanks in advance,
alicia

I don't know what's going on but listen to
your doc and get lots of rest is all I can
say. Good luck to u alicia!

Hey alicia. I have no experiences like
yours, but I do know that baby will take
what s/he needs. Down to the calcium
from your bones and teeth. Best wishes
to you and baby.

Some people go through this. I had my
child at 28 weeks and he is fine I went
into preterm labor at 26wks and 3 days.
The medicine that hey give you will help.
About the weight loss the doctor will do
some more test as well as sonograms. If
they feel that you have lost to much
weight and you arent putting it on the
will end up putting you in the hospital to
do iv's and more. So eat as much as you
can in small amounts dont try to force
alot at one time because you will get
sick. Also the baby will get all
nutrients from your body anything that you
have the baby will take. Good luck and
keep me in touch
