QuestionIm not sure if you can answer my question, but They had put me on a progesterone pill june 3 i because i had low projesterone. I never felt hungry on it, and i found myself forcing myself to eat, and I felt nauseaus also, and have vomited a few times. On June 17th, I had an OB apt. and I weighed 199. I had my second apt on July 17th, and I weighed 191. I had lost 8 lbs. I stop the pills TODAY. but the doctor was not worried at all that i had lost 8 lbs. She said I will start gaining after Im off the pill. I am currently 12w4d. Is it normal to loose in the beginning on pregnancy? Im so worried but my doctor isn't.
Thanks and I hope you can help

AnswerHI Shannon,
congratulations on your pregnancy!
Dont worry about losing weight. It happens! You could have also been ill because of the pregnancy. It is a good thing the doctor caught the low progesterone level and took care of it.
You will start gaining weight, there is really no need to worry about it at all. My son's teacher was so sick in the beginning of her pregnancy last year she lost 15 pounds in a couple of weeks. She did just fine with medicine and did of course gain a healthy amount of weight with the pregnancy.
Your baby will take what it needs from you, he/she is not starving because you are losing weight. You and the baby will be just fine!
Good luck! :-) andi
