Could be pregnant can I still loose weight if I am still unh

Just eat what your doc tells you. Make sure not to eat for emotional reasons, like I did! I gained 60 lbs..way too much. You dont need much more food the first trimester. Congrats! And remember baby comes first

It is not generally considered safe to diet or lose weight during pregnancy. I would just put it on hold for now if I were you. You need to eat healthy: baby gets what baby needs from you no matter what, so if you're not consuming enough calories or nutrients, you could be at risk for ill health. Just watch what you eat, stay moderately active, drink lots of water, then after baby comes, you can start actively losing weight again.

Like everyone else said, see your doctor and follow his/her advice. But I actually lost 20kg when I was pregnant with my second son (now 18 yo) and my dr was very pleased with me. I didn't do anything special other than eat properly and walk for exercise, but son and I were both so much healthier for it.

Best of luck!

Definitely talk to your Doctor. However in the mean time, make sure that you eat a well-rounded and balanced diet - including all the food groups and nutrients. Folate is important to take (if you aren't already). You don't need to "eat for two", just listen to your body. There are certain foods you should avoid while pregnant (just do a google search).

Hope that helps a bit.

(Also, my sister was morbidly obese when she became pregnant and actually weighed less at the end of her pregnancy than at the start - she just made sure she was eating healthy and cut out soft drinks and did gentle exercise. Baby was healthy and she was really healthy. The important thing is not to "diet" - just eat a balanced diet. But definitely talk to your doctor).

I totally agree. and I will ask my doc once I find out if I am or not...think I am still a little to early to know for sure, but my body is acting all sorts of insane! lol

I'm guessing you'll get to find out soon (can't be much more than 2 weeks, right?). In the meantime, why not just eat at maintenance. I have heard that you really don't want to eat at too much of a calorie deficit even when you are trying to conceive (assuming you are). It stresses the body and can make it harder to conceive (our bodies don't want us to be pregnant if they think we're in a time of famine). I don't know if this advice differs for people who are really overweight, but that doesn't really sound like your case.

Eating at maintenance until you find out your status and/or talk to your doctor won't do any harm, it just might slow your progress.

See your doc.

Like others have said, though, the baby comes first. If you don't eat properly, the baby will TAKE what it needs from you including calcium from your bones

AGREED!!!

Everything I have read says you don't need ant extra calories 1st trimester and only need to eat an extra 300 extra calories a day for the rest of the pregnancy. I'm doing no more, no less. It is hard to come to terms with the postponement if weight loss though.

Well if you are pregnant, you will need to gain anywhere from 20-35 pounds during the pregnancy to allow the baby to develop properly. Until you know for sure, I'd suggest maintaining and spendig some time trying to come to terms with the fact that your weight loss might need to be put on hold for a bit!

Im specifically trying to avoid pregnancy for the time being, and I know that if I found out I was, there would definitely be a mix of happy and sad/scared, along with coming to terms with the impending weight gain... Lol

Not if you are overweight to begin with. My doctor told me to gain NO MORE THAN 15 lbs with each of my pregnancies, BUT the first I gained 38 lbs. and the second 43 lbs. Unfortunately the babies were only 7 lbs each.

If you are following a healthy weight loss plan where you are trying to lose 1-2 pounds a week by balancing diet and exercise there is no need to change what you are doing untill after you have "official" results. Even then you won't need to change much. FOr now Just do eat if you physically feel hungry and make sure you are getting calcium, iron, protein, and folate. Most woman don't gain much weight during the first trimester unless they are underweight or get lax about a healthy diet anyway. And losing weight the first trimester is common. You actually shouldn't gain more than 5 lbs the first trimester according to what I have read. If you are overweight it is acceptable to only gain about 15 lbs your entire pregnancy assuming you are eating healthy. Pretty much any "regular" exercise is allowed the first trimester (if you feel up to it) as well. There are a few high risk scenarios that are exceptions, but I never had any limitations w/ my 2 babies.

Now if you are on a drastic diet or doing marathon training or something you may want to see a doctor sooner than later.

Well losing weight during pregnancy is not at all a healthy process.If you are concerned about gaining those extra pounds ,than you need not worry.Practice prenatal yoga during pregnancy and postnatal yoga after pregnancy to control your weight.

I'm no expert but I do believe that what you eat isn't going to have major affects your baby this early. Just maintain a healthy diet until you find out for sure and then switch to "pregnancy" diet. And by that I mean, don't try to lose any more weight and increase your calories by the amount recommended by your doctor. And congrats (hopefully)

This is not true. Most women don't know they are pregnant until they are at least a month along, especially if they were not actively trying to conceive. So what you eat in the earliest part of the pregnancy has a huge effect on the baby's development. The first few weeks of pregnancy are crucial to the baby's healthy development. That's when everything is forming and growing!!...just as an example: that's why women of childbearing age are supposed to take folic acid whether they are TTC or not: by the time you know you're pregnant, the spinal cord is already forming/formed.
