Update - Weight Loss and 15 week appointment

So, DD and I just got back from my 15 week appointment, and the Dr.'s office scales were about the same as the WIC office. I'm down from 210lbs (in September) to 180lbs. My doctor prescribed me Zolfran because I'm still sick, even if I eat. So I'm hoping that it helps to either slow or stop my weight loss. I guess I'm not complaining too much though, considering I was overweight to begin with.

Anyways, LO seems to be doing great despite the rapid weight loss. S/he kicked the doppler away several times when my Dr tried to get his/her heart rate. She managed to catch it at about the 150's though, which is good =D A little higher than what DD's was (140's the entire pregnancy), so were hoping blue this time!

Speaking of which, my anatomy u/s is on January 24th! =D I'm all sorts of excited and can't wait to see LO again!

I lost 24 lbs (I am 18 weeks) and I can barely eat anything other than salad. I feel your pain!

It sucks to be sick! I was sick all 9 months with my first baby. I lost 20 lbs altogether and never gained it all back, so my 9 month weight was less than my pre-pregnancy weight! I was only sick for about two weeks with this one, but I lost 5 lbs in the from my last appt. The doctor said it's just fine as long as I am getting my vitamin, eating well when I can, and drinking plenty of fluids. I was told it's probably a result of unconsciously making better diet decisions for my baby. I joked with my husband that we should have 4 or 5 kids, since I tend to lose weight when I'm pregnant, maybe by then I'll be close to model thin! Hopefully you start feeling better. Have you also tried Vitamin B6? That's what helped me the first time around.

yay! I'm glad everything is going good and I feel your pain on the sickness part...I haven't been sick with this pregnancy but I was so sick with my daughter! I'm still down 18 pounds but my midwife said that its safe where I haven't lost any more in the past two weeks :D I get to see our little one of the 30th! and that's when we are finding out what we are having...I CAN'T WAIT! Only 7 more days and I'll finally be able to go shopping. I can't shake the feeling its a boy and I'm hoping that my instinct is right on :D Good luck and I hope everything continues to go good for you! (especially the yacking :O)
