Weight loss during pregnancy?!


Question:

Weight loss during pregnancy?

I have always been 9 an a half stone but in the past 4 weeks have gone to 8st 6. Now i am really worried about this as i use to have eating problems for a while, no matter how much i wanted to eat i couldn't i tried to force myself to and i would throw it up...not on purpose! And i lost alot of weight then but carried on seeing the doctor and went back to my normal weight!
And the same thing is happening again...cannot eat anything, in the past 5 days i have managed in total 2 slices of toast and half a sandwhich. I spoke to one of the midwifes about it and all she kep saying was my BMI was saying i am a healthy weight...that may be true but to lose that weight in that time whilest pregnant cannot be good? like i said i cant eat at all...i smashed my plate up last night as i got so wound up that i couldnt eat it!
I tried small portions...you know little and offen...didnt work
I tried just toast and crackers but i cant even eat them now.
any advice?

Answers:

It is probably just how your body is reacting to the combination babies hormones along with your own.

Some of the symptoms are on this list

If your are losing weight I suspect that you are progesterone dominant due to the assistance of the progesterone from the baby.

However confirm this by doing the on line hormone tests at www.hormoneprofile.com or www.johnleemd.com

If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please
discuss with one of the doctors at www.npis.info who are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. Maybe you are about to educate your GP before using the hormones.
