Unintentional weight-loss in second trimester

Hi!

I have had type 2 diabetes for three years, and it was well controlled with only metformin and labs (no home monitoring or insulin). I also have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine for this and have for twenty years.

I am now 16 weeks pregnant and have lost sixteen lbs (7.25 kilograms) since my first ob appointment in August at 9 weeks 4 days. My BMI was 35+ when I got pregnant, so I am supposed to gain little weight for the duration, and most of it in the third trimester.

I am losing roughly three pounds a week. Should I be worried or bring this up at my next appointment?
