Weight gain

Losing weight in pregnancy?!?

Has anyone lost weight during pregnancy? I was overweight to begin with, so I'm not shrinking away or anything, but my scales tell me that between week 15 and 21 (which I am now), I've actually lost 6kg, although my belly and bust are getting bigger. Maybe my new scales just dont tally with the ones at the clinic, where I was weighed at week 15?

Thanks everyone....I'm sure I'm worrying over nothing, because baby feels like s/he is growing. I'll find out next thursday if baby is he or she....sooooo excited.

Hi, My midwife frst weighed me in January, and again on 21st July, (38 wks) and I am now 0.4 kilos lighter than I was in January. Cant say the same for my hubby, who has piled on the weight, although he is eating as healthily as I am! Am not worried, though as I could only drink water, semi skimmed milk, fruits, veg and salads for the entire pregnancy. Baby hated chocolates, coffee, cakes, biscuits........ all my favourite foods.
