I am 14 weeks and still loosing weight.
When I went to the doc the first time - at
about 4 weeks I was 122. I am normally
118 so I figured that was good. Then I
went back the next month and was 121.
Went back last week and was 118! I had a
problem so I had to go in again this week
and now i'm 117. That less then what I
normally weigh. I have had no morning
sickness what so ever! Then doc assumed I
did have it and that was why I was loosing
the weight. Should I be worried? I
thought you only loose in the 1st
trimester because of getting sick.

eating right? If you exercise during
pregnancy (outside of walking) that could
cause it. Along with not eating
correctly.
On a side note: doing more than walking
while prego is bad. No lifting over 5
pounds, and definately no crunches.
Walking is the only thing recommended
during
pregnancy.
if you are active in your life before
pregnancy, there is no reason you cannot
continue to be active. Aerobics,
swimming, walking and jogging are all fine
to continue - not to start during
pregnancy.
Weight shouldn't be an issue for you yet.
It is in the later portion of pregnancy
that you gain.
If you are ever concerned about anything
regarding your pregnancy, please call your
doctor's office. You can always speak
with his nurse!
Good luck.

my doctor told me to ride my stationary
bike or go swimming (neither of which I do
now or have done anytime in the recent
past). I don't think walking is the only
acceptable form of exercise. Maybe your
doc meant that specifically for you?

Some women do this during pregnancy
especially with morning sickness. I
have known women that do not even look
pregnant until they are over half way
there. The main thing is is not to get
dehydrated and stressed and at least try
to eat at least some ginger ale and
crackers, even though I am not a dr, I do
know this from past experience. I do
hope you get to doing better soon! Have
they done an u/s on you, that would be my
suggestion. I was that way with my
daughter and she was fine!
I noticed in your post that you had no
morning sickness, I am sorry, I
mis-understood, ask your dr about some
ensure or something like that but I would
definitely ask ffor an u/s.
I do wish you the best!
Keep in touch.

I never suggested anything. I said if you
are a runner/jogger or an avid exerciser,
you don't need to stop because you are
pregnant. Pregnancy is not an excuse to
be lazy. Towards the end, when you get
larger, it is advised to slow down. But
when you are first pregnant you can
continue with the majority of your
activities as usual.
