Q: Is it normal to loose weight in the first trimester?

I am 11w 4d today and started out weighing 153, but when I weighed myself today I was down to 149. I'm a little nervous. I thought I have been eating enough but I guess not. I just can't wait to see my midwife on Friday to make sure everything is ok. Any advice would be nice though. Thanks!!

Thank you everyone for all your responses. They have all been reassuring. I guess why i'm worrying so much is because I only ever just had nausea. Not even once did I actually get sick. Sorry not bragging, but it will be so much more easier on Friday once I get to see my little bean again and know everything is ok. Thanks again everyone!!!!

Check out my weight chart. I am 24 weeks and am still not at my bmi weight. My belly is measuring to date and I am eating ok. This is my third pregnancy and I have not had any problems with the other two in gaining weight. Every pregnancy is so different! If your baby is growing, measuring and healthy, and mommy is eating well then you should be fine!

Totally normal in the first trimester, especially if you're experiencing a lot of nausea/ morning sickness. It's not really something to worry about unless it's a LOT of weight all at once or you can't keep anything down, in which case you should talk to your healthcare provider.

I lost 8kg (15lbs) and didn't start gaining weight till after 20 weeks. I have hyperemesis though so it was to be expected. I wouldn't be worried as it is completely normal in the first tri

losing weight in the first trimester is normal and very okay as long as the weight you lose is limited. I always lose about 10 lbs the first trimester and given birth to 8 lb babies. You will start gaining soon. Just keep hydrated and eat as well as you can.
