that the farther along in pregnancy you progress the less your pants fit. Mine are starting to fall! If I keep this up I'll need a belt soon. I can't wait for my next appointment on Tuesday. I am starting to worry. I don't feel pregnant, I'm losing weight, and it's starting to worry me.
How is your appetite? Are you eating well? Some people do lose weight due to morning sickness, or just lack of appetite. Good Luck at your appt Tuesday.

Were you overweight or had decent bodyfat to begin with? Usually if so you wont gain much or even in fact lose. They say the first trimester you should only gain a couple of pounds total. And some don't some will be at zero or even under. The second trimester you gain a little more and the 3rd is where most the weight comes in. You will pop overnight 1 day. You'll wake up and be "holy sheet I got a belly!!"
I wouldn't worry too much. Try to eat what you can. Your baby will take everything he or she needs first and you will get whatever is left.
G'luck at your appt!

I have lost a total of 13 pounds since the day I found out I am pregnant. No morning sickness, in fact I never had it. It's just that my appetite has disappeared. It seems to slowly get better at least in the mornings. Lunch and dinner time are still somewhat of a struggle for me. The reason why I don't feel pregnant is that I'm no longer tired, no sore boobs, nothing aside from a lack of appetite. I keep telling myself that I should be happy that everything is going so great but it would be nice to have some kind of reassurance that I am pregnant, ya know?
Second trimester is usually the best trimester. The early pregnancy symptoms kinda subside *the tiredness, sore boobs etc* I always had tons of energy lots of get up and go.... I wouldnt worry about the weight loss, it sounds like you just havent had the appetite. Be sure to share that with your doctor though ;)

As long as you're eating well I think it is fine. I lost 9 lbs with Breanna and didn't wear maternity clothes til I was 1 week from being 7 months. We went home for Thanksgiving and I wasn't that big. I could still wear regular clothes. Well, my friend came to visit me less than 2 weeks later and I was huge. She showed up and was like what happened. I'm sure you'll eventually gain. I gained 22 with Breanna and 70 with Johnny (I'm still trying to lose the weight from Johnny). You could ask your doctor the next time you have an appt. If he/she says you are fine and doesn't seem worried than I would say you are ok. Good Luck.

If you are that worried too you can rent a doppler. I rented one from www.heartbeatsathome.com This way when I got scared before I felt EThan and then after I felt him if he didn't have an active day I could listen for his heartbeat on my own. This saved me alot of anxiety. I hardly used it. I think I used it a total of 4 times. But it was there if I was scared.

I lost some weight also. I had the extra body fat to lose without worry though. It was probably actually good for me to lose it.

I didn't gain much weight in the begining with Cory. It all came on in the end. I was very thin and young and the mid wife told me I need to be gaining more and told me all kinds of fatty foods I should be eating. In hind sight I should have told her to stick it because I just ended up getting fat. With Lily I was way way to sick to eat. Everything I ate came right back up. I ended up losing 21 pounds. She was born a healty 7 lbs 7 ozs. I made up for lack of eating after she was born!

I had a lack of appetite till I was 19 weeks and now it seems like I am constantly hungary again. I just turned 20 weeks today.
