GD & Pregnancy Weight Loss
Okay, so second pregnancy here but first with GD. With my first baby, I steadily gained about 40 pounds with her. This pregnancy I have GD and was a little overweight but not majorly. I have lost about 15 pounds since my first appointment at 10 weeks (14 weeks ago) so negative weight gain since I first got pregnant. I asked my doctor but she wasnt concerned yet until I hit third trimester. Will this plateau and stop/start to gain some back or not? Can someone tell me how their pregnancy weight journey fluctuated?

Are you diet controlled? My second pregnancy was also GD. I was following GD diet, third trimester had to take night time insulin. I kind of stopped gaining weight and my baby was average weight. I was surprised that he was 8 lbs at birth while I ended up weighing less than pre pregnancy.
Yeah I'm diet controlled. So far no insulin needed yet. Im about 25 weeks now. I was diagnosed at 16 weeks. Even before my diagnosis, I was already going down a few pounds (baby knew before I did and just wanted protein, no sugar so I had already been eating less sugar than usual) I was curious if I should worry at all as it's still going down but maybe I will kinda stay stagnant or something more in 3rd trimester ? Was curious how it ended up for other mamas.
I’m currently in my third GD pregnancy. My first I was diagnosed at 30 weeks so only lost a little weight. In my second pregnancy I was diagnosed at 12 weeks. When I went in for my planned c section at 39 weeks, I was over 3 stone lighter than I was at my 8 week booking appointment. I was diet controlled throughout apart from 3 units of insulin at bedtime for fasting numbers. Baby boy was born at 39 weeks exactly weighing 7lb 8oz.
