Weight loss?
I know it's normal to lose a bit of weight in the 1st trimester but I have lost 9 pounds ? Did anyone else lose a lot of weight?
The thing is, I started eating properly (probably too much!) again at week 10 and haven't been sick since 12 weeks and even that was a one off cos I ate something that doesn't seem to agree with the baby (weetabix - don't ask! Sick everytime I eat it.) But I am still losing weight.
My partner thinks my belly might look a tiny bit bigger and I agree. Does being slightly overweight determine how much weight you gain/lose? Cos I'm slightly over my BMI, and a size 14/16 (although I could prob get in a 12 now!)

I read on website that if you are within BMI you should put on about 1.5 - 2.5 stone over 9 months, underweight you should put on more and over weight you should put on less. These only guidelines though as I put on 3 stone with no1 and was at lowest point on normal BMI, with no 2 I put on 4.5 Stone and was just over BMI 25. This time round I started at BMI 23 which is within acceptable range and have put on 3 stone.
Think everyone is different tho and every pregnancy different.
If you have any concerns about lo speak to your mw and I'm sure they'll reassure you.
