Is this normal? She should be in her 11 week. Her weight drop about 2kgs and she ate with small portion but abt 5times/day. Any preggie wife can share here.....

as far as I know, the weight shouldn't drop as informed by doctor, both private & goverment...

Hmm...my wife dropped 8kgs in her 1st trimester. According to docs, it should be ok as long as she's taking all her supplements and have at least 5 meals a day. Her morning sickness was pretty bad and it was all the way to her 5th month. Now at 8 months along, she's back to her old weight... Both mom and little one seems to he healthy..

dont worry ya...!

1st few mths with the mornin sickness i guess should b ok...

5 small meals a day...sounds like wat body builders do to keep high metabolism rate.might b a contributing factor

weight should fluctuate. If only about 2kg, it doesn't matter.
If more, then you need to worry

I search forums most preggy womens face weight reduction in 1st trimester. We have highlighted to our gynae about the reduction but i guess is too early to tell.

This because my wife use to able eat big portion of food before, but now due to preggy and gastric attack, she can't eat much and have heart burn. But now feel better.

She can't eat much because initially she got gastric attack which admitted hospital, a lot wind in stomach. She only can consume a little but more often.

I also dont know whether it will further reduction, but for now just monitor and maintain healthy diet. Somehow, the gynae only give Folic acid but not any vitamins supplement. But she take food that rich in vitamins to compensate.

if the baby is growing in term of size, then no worry. probably is your wife body weight reduce.

For my experience just have increase the weight only....because i have not much of pregnant sickness...
May be before pregnant i'm and my husband start to having food supplement for more than six month jor........

In case, if your wife have bad morning sickness or smell something will feeling bad or vomit......it's should be normal. During vomit, because the water from body was come out and reducing, so the weight also reducing.

Pregnant women was easy to get gastric pain....its because of wind inside the stomach....and having small portion 5 meals a day is good way

Guys, dont worry! after 4-5months, it's will be ok....trust me....(i'm have 2nd baby now)

We do not take supplement but had started take healthy diet food 1-2 months before pregnant.

Now she want to eat whatever she has in her mind, and me as driver will have to bring her to go. But due to she got gastric, have to monitor food intake. Most headache everytime food she took cannot finish because she only eat small portion and the rest will settle by me.
She want to eat seafood like crab, ice -cream and bla bla..actually i also don't know whether she can eat. But my friend said better avoid crab because the child will be very hand itchy....

Just seeking for every opinion because this is my first time...dont know excited or stressing...

Hi,

Don't worry if u r wife will not be able to eat during her 1st trimester. Same with me when I was pregnant also. Actually I was only able to drink tea without throwing up during 1st month to 3rd month... After that you won't have to tell your wife to eat, she will eat anything she can get her hands on cos sooooooo hungry all the time

But pls make sure she take enough supplements like Vitamin C, Calcium, Folic Acid, Iron etc (natural food or Tablets) according to Doctors prescription. Also better if she drink lots of milk... I drank Anmum Materna Chocolate and then switched to Similac Mom...

Nowsaday, which child is not hand itchi....one?
Eat crab should be no problem one......but pls remember anything also can't be having was over.....
Exp:- ice-cream, solfdrink, spicy food, maggie mee, Tin's food.
And suggest to having more fruist and vege.....if your wife dont like. Its ok one, because we as a pregnant women also dont know what we want to eat on the next meal one?

So.....pls understand your wife loh. Just give her what she want to eat lah.

She cant take milk now due to gastric. Wait for our next visit to gynae whether doc got recommend any milk.

I don't agree.
if baby is moving actively, it means she's healthy and kicking.
Recently i read a magazine saying eating crab during pregnancy is not advisable coz it's "cold" .
Might cause accidents esp. during 1st trimester.
For me eat anything moderately will be okay. Overeat anything will bring trouble.

Take spirulina

I'm pregnant for going to 8 months, having the crab last night...very nice....

i ate crab..about 2 weeks before my due date..yums!!

don't worry, at first trimester it's normal for weight to drop due to the morning sickness just continue with her normal meals. doctor will tel you can eat anything as long as she likes it must take all the supplements the doctor gives.

Agree

Till date, she drops 2kgs. this is her abt 11th weeks. I don't see she have any morning sickness. May i know what sign of morning sickness?
Can't wait for next week for gynae checkup.

It normal to drop the kg!!!during my 1st trimester, i keep on vomiting, i can only drink juice(sweet) to not vomit out.....and my doc say dun worry...your wife body got reserve, ....is normal....in fact i was sick until i was 5 months.....

it's bullshit for:
who say no to crab: cos i didnt eat, my daughter hand just like that...non stop itching and disturbing other
who say no to cold: i eat aiscream from month 5 to delivery every day one cup from mcdonald ( cos doctor say wat u like just eat lah) i just crave for it...

Just remember to DUN over do it too much
