A lot of people loose weight in the first tri I've lost 5 pounds (and I'm only small)

Bean will be fine

Are you dieting?

I was following Weight watchers very strictly before I got PG and lost 4 1/2 stone (I too am a big girl size 18 was a size 22-24). I spoke to my doctor about continuing the plan whilest pg (although WW wont let you weigh in if your pg) and he said it is fine to follow a sensible diet like WW - which is a balanced diet, but dont be so strict. He said that basically the baby gets all the nutrients it needs first and you get whats left. I havent weighed myself for a couple of weeks but the first few weeks I was PG I lost 1/2 stone. I feel pretty bloated at the moment so I am pretty sure I havent lost any weight for a few weeks! I have found the diet hard to follow to becuase I am hungrey all the time (I am trying though).

I've lost a stone too. Lost a stone and a half in my last pregnancy. LIke you, not through dieting. Don't worry, baby is getting everything it needs!

Bonus!

I wouldn't worry,it's quite common to lose weight in the first tri.
When I was pg with James I was on the slim fast plan for the first 11 weeks and going to the gym 3 times a week because I hadn't a clue I was pg! It didn't do him any harm

I wouldn't worry too much, baby gets as much goodness as is needed and you just get whatever is left.
