Lost weight in 3rd trimester

Hi mommies, I did GD test at week 28 and failed marginally. I eat pretty clean already even before the test but because of that, I reduced carbs (halved noodle and rice) and increased protein intake for my meals. As a result, I lost weight (about 1kg+) Any mommies also lost weight in 3rd tri? Wonder if anything wrong :( I was steadily growing few hundred grams heavier before this each week. I’m in my week 32 now…. #FTM #advicepls

Hi mummy, I’m a FTM & currently 35 weeks. I gained weight fast since trimester 1 till end of trimester 2 ( I gained 15 KG ) & my weight maintained once I entered trimester 3. I still ate normally early trimester 3 but as it gets nearer, my intake reduced significantly probably due to bb taking up my space. As long as gynae says baby is growing well and doing fine, our weight don’t really matter much :)

I have GD as well, gained 10kg weight from 60-70kg before diagnosed with GD. After control my diet, my weight maintain between 69-71kg throughout 3rd trimester. But baby have been increasing weight steadily throughout despite me not gaining weight/losing weight in 3rd trimester. Last scan at 37 weeks +4 days baby is 3kg.

Hello! Have heard of similar instances where moms lose weight after going on GD diet. As long as baby continues to grow well, you're okay! :) from what you mentioned, your diet sounds good for baby growth too - with the protein intake. 👍🏻 Take care!

It’s ok to lose some weight bcos you are controlling your diet. as long as your baby is growing well. For me in fact I have lose abit of weight throughout pregnancy and my baby is gaining well: if you are worried , speak to your gynae

As long as baby is growing well and putting in weight, it’s okay for mummy to lose some weight.
