I'm not very far along yet (just 5-6 weeks, we're not exactly sure about the date) but so far I've lost about 5lbs (I've dropped from 203-198lbs) from what I'm guessing is my pre-pregnancy weight. Granted, I was still dieting before I found out the news and I'm nursing too so getting in enough calories per day has been hard (add into that that I've had pretty much not appetite except for chocolate
). Anyways, I have some questions for those who have lost weight during pregnancy. I'm not trying to do it on purpose, I'm eating until I'm full and, honestly, now when I feel full I feel REALLY full so I can't imagine eating more!
1. How much weight loss is too much? Like I said I'm still really early on in my pregnancy so I figure during the first trimester if I keep going at this rate more could come off... I'm wondering at what point should I be concerned?
2. Did you show still pretty early on? I'll be starting a new job soon so I'd rather not show immediately until we get some things figured out. However, even with the weight loss I've noticed my pants are getting tight around the waist!!
3. When did you switch to maternity clothes? I actually just gave a HUGE chunk of my maternity clothes (and all my fat clothes) to salvation army a few weeks before finding out I was pregnant (this pregnancy was very much a surprise, a happy one, but still a surprise) so I'm hoping to extend my clothes as long as possible...
4. Where did the weight loss go? It's definitely NOT coming off of my stomach/chest. I don't see any difference anywhere on my body really, seriously, I'm pretty confused here!
