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

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.

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...!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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  biggrin.gif

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...

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