Is it possible to be losing weight at 6 weeks pregnant?

Answer 1

Eat a high protein, low sugar low starch diet and it should be ok. You still need good nutrition for the fetus but if you get enough protein it should be ok, but if you have any questions, contact your physician. Lots of women lose weight when they are first pregnant, a combination of nausea and tiredness often means they don't eat very much. In the West (that is Europe and North America) it is extremely unlikely that a woman will get pregnant and not be able to afford to lose a few pounds (kilos).
Many women lose a bit of weight when they first get pregnant as often they are nauseous and/or too tired to eat properly. It is very important that what you DO eat is good, healthy food.

Answer 2

Well it depends if you are overweight, then your doctor will tell you to watch wat you eat because obesity may be a reason for your pregnancy to be high risk, but most women who expierence nausea and vomiting lose some weight in the beginging.

Answer 3

Yes. Especially in the first trimester. This is generally when most problems with eating and morning sickness occur. If it is after this time, you probably should not be losing any weight, but putting it on.

If you're concerned, visit your GP.

Answer 4

Yes, you could for example exercise a lot and no eating and no drinking. It is not healthy but 6 pounds is very doable this way.


Considering I drink 2-3 liters per day, just not drinking would make me lose 4-6 pounds..

Answer 5

If you haven't been eating much food, or less than you used to, then that might be the cause. The embryo is taking nutrients from you, so you are not getting all of the food you eat, also the embryo is tiny and wouldn't contribute to weight in large amounts.

Answer 6

Yes, vomiting at all and a reduction in appetite can make you lose weight in early pregnancy.

Answer 7

Of course you can!

If you work hard you can lose even 15 pounds!

Answer 9
