weight

[missac]

I know this is a silly question but here goes:

I started of pregnancy weighing 9st6, I now weigh 9st4, I have eaten nothing but crap for 16 weeks and have not been sick. Should I be slightly concerned that I have not put any weight on? My tummy sticks out and is all squishy and I thought if it was a baby bump it would be hard and I look like I have put on about a stone, and none of my orginal clothes fit me, so why have I not put on weight? Should I worry? I know that people are going to tell me not to be silly and enjoy the fact I haven't put on weight but why do I look fat then!!!!!!!

Very bizarre!

I was the same, don't worry!

The baby uses up extra calories so although you've got a belly maybe your legs/arms might be a bit thinner. My midwife told me the baby will always take what it needs first and foremost, you get what's left.

Maybe up your vitamin intake if you're finding it difficult to eat healthy, but yes, be thankful you're all bump!

did you have morning sickness????

i only put on about 13lb when i had madi and ive lost it all and more now

if you are very worried talk to your mw

I've just stopped weighing myself now, i'll have plenty of time to tone my wobbly bits up when LO is here safe and sound!

My mw said its nothing to worry about.......

.....I was 13st 2lbs before pg, then I dropped to 12st 0lb and am now 12st 2lb....so all in all after 16 weeks I've lost a stone!!! Still my trousers don;t fit mw despite the loss as my bump has really popped now, but i'm in a 14 maternity instead of a 16 so technically I have still lost a dress size...my mw seemed fine about the loss, as altho I hv been snacking on crisps and stuff I do generally eat healthily

Make the most of it whilst you can, those pounds will be back with a vengeance before long!!

(Well done on the weight loss Hev....that was quick! x)

yeh dont worry about it mate,

I got weighed and ive lost over a stone now and also didnt really have morning sickness, was only sick twice (both due to eating something that baby didnt like abd it wanted rid lol) my jeans are looser on me!! I know baby is fine as heard a healty heartbeat when I saw the midwife, so im happy!! Ive been trying to loose weight for years and all I needed to do was get pregnant pmsl.
