K.G.
with my dd I lost about 28lbs then gained it back with all of the fluid that I so lovingly retained plus gained another 15lbs my doc was not concerned. I was having trouble eating nad keeping food down for all of my pregnancy. three weeks after giving birth I was 9lbs less than when I got preggers. My ob told me not to worry that the baby was still getting all of the nuteriants from the fat and what food I could keep down. She had said that their was a study done about being pregnant and restricted/starvation from the holocoust (sp) and from 3rd world countries and found that mothers still had normal birth weight babies and cognative function. My duaghter was almost 7lbs and was three weeks early. gl and congrats
