Id make a journal of every bit of food your eating, the size portions etc for a few days get into the Dr and see if hes ok or wants to send you to a nutritionist about it. The first trimester is the time of alots of major growth in the fetus. Make sure your taking the prenatal vitamins to get the folic acid the fetus needs, all pregnant women need the folic acid. Anyhow, you could write down yesterdays foods, look online for a vitamin chart and see what those foods provided, and adjust anything that needs adjusting. At this point its about the fetus and about you since your bodies now designating things to the baby and some to you. If babies robbed of certain nutrition during growth now, the outcome can show in teeth that rot out as they start growing in, etc etc. And you too hun, later down the road in your life problems can start emerging so protect both of you. Many countries around the world are and have always been vegetarians and their populations are still growing. So do your homework, incorporate more calcuim rich foods since cheese is a casualty of the pregnancy. Good luck and congradulations, I am not vegetarian, but I do care about people and if something I mentioned does some help, thats all hope for.

Losing weight during pregnancy?
liv mom
I'm 15 weeks pregnant. At 9 week checkup I weighed 158. When I went for my 13 week checkup I weighed 151 and they gave me a hard time about the weight loss. I am slightly overweight from my first pregnancy from not gaining a lot of weight and the doctor yelling at me to eat more and then gaing too much weight. I am keeping a food journal to make sure I'm eating the right amount of calories which is around 2100 a day for the last two weeks and I lost two more lbs. My question is anyone else having this problem or had this problem?? Has long as the baby is healthy and I'm eating healthy why is it a problem? I just don't want to end up gaining too much weight and have trouble after losing it. Any advice or comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
I haven't had any morning sickness so the weight loss isn't from that.

With my 1st 2 pregnancies I lost weight in the 1st trimester everytime and my OB/GYN said that is perfectly normal. Oh and then bam...wait till you have a 9 lb gain one month! As long as you are eating healthy and not purposely trying to diet I would say you are fine. Make sure you are taking you prenatal vitamins as well. Im pregnant with twins this time around and am 35 weeks and have only gained 34 pounds...only gained around 5 pounds total in the 1st trimester.
