I went to my Dr today for my 8 month check-up and when I stepped on the scale I was told I am down 7 pounds since last month's visit. Now I'm not really surprised I lost a little this month as this past few weeks (on top of morning sickness) I had both food poisoning and the stomach flu, but 7 pounds seemed like a lot. The part the worries me is that since I have been suffering from morning sickness my entire pregnancy (despite medication), I had only put on 9 pounds before this loss, which means in 8 months of pregancy I have only put on 2 pounds! I was not exactly skinny to begin with (so I have some extra weight to spare) but I'm not hugely overweight either. Do you think the baby is getting enough? I stupidly read up about weight loss in pregnancy and am now worried about the baby developing properly becasue I haven't gained anything. Has anyone else lost weight in pregnancy and gone on to have a healthy baby? I eat mostly healthy foods, (just a few treats here and there) but I just can't seem to eat very much of anything before I feel sick or full. If I force myself to eat anymore than I do now I know I'll just throw it back up again.
