Moms reassure that some weight loss can happen and isn't necessarily a problem as long as the baby's growth and amniotic fluid are fine, advising more protein, tracking calories, and calling your gynaec for peace of mind rather than googling.
⚠️ Caution:Confirm with your gynaecologist that the baby's growth and amniotic fluid are on track. Don't rely on internet searches that increase anxiety.
Moms get tense and frightened when the scale drops instead of rising, fearing the baby isn't growing. The community reassures that some loss is normal as long as scans show good growth and fluid, advises adding protein and tracking calories, and urges them to call the gynaec for reassurance rather than spiral through Google searches.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
If the baby's growth and liquor (amniotic fluid) are fine, don't panic. Include more protein and start tracking calories - one mom's doctor said she needed a minimum of 1800 calories in the third trimester; she didn't gain weight and her baby was on the smaller side but within range.
Weight loss can happen. Just call your gynaecologist to set your mind at rest, and don't google - if you stress it'll make it worse.
