  Only your doctor can have advice since everyone is so different. Also, i don't know if you started at normal weight or not. I lost weight with my first too but I was overweight and had a lot of morning sickness

  I'm 18w and am down a few pounds. Baby weighs basically nothing right now. I didn't start gaining with #1 until around 25 weeks. By the last month I was gaining 2+ lbs a week. I gained 25 total. My doctor was really happy with my weight and never talked about gaining more quickly. 
  
  Edited to add...I have a huge bump, but I'm still down w/weight. When you show is more to do with body type and how you carry than weight gain 

  Momma to Amelia Marie (7/14) and Austin Samuel (11/17). Adding baby (girl) #3 on 7/21

  With DD I was so sick I only gained 20lbs the entire pregnancy. I'm overweight so I was happy with that. This time, inner I've already gained 20.

  I haven't gained much and my bump seems small.  I see my doc on Monday so hopefully he'll say everything is fine.  A parent from the team I coach is an ob and she told me yesterday as long as I'm not losing throughout (common in 1st), babies are he most insane parasites and is probably just fine!!
  
  ask your doc!

  My doctor isn't concerned that I haven't gained any yet (I'm slim and 16 weeks). But you should talk to your Dr about any concerns as each person is different

  With DS I only gained 8 lbs and he was a happy healthy 6lbs 4oz. My OB was never concerned but I agree with these ladies that you should talk to your Dr about any weight concerns.

  I think if you are eating normally and aren't intentionally trying to lose weight you are probably doing okay, but you can always ask your doctor to be sure. I lost a bunch of weight in my first pregnancy from being so sick the first 16 weeks. I ended up gaining a net of about 15 lbs by the end. I started out overweight so my doctor was never concerned.

  I have the same concern and am going to check with my doctor at the appointment tomorrow.
  Initially I gained 3 lbs in the first tri but the nausea got very bad and I lost close to 6 lbs. The doctor was not too worried about it then and prescribed zofran and I have since managed to gain 7 lbs. I am petite though so I am concerned that I have not gained enough weight for 16 weeks and the baby could be lacking nutrition.

  Mostly a lurker here, but just wanted to add that with DD1, I didn't gain until after I hit 3rd tri, and had lost over 20 lbs up to that point. I only gained back 17 lbs and then lost 16 lbs after DD was born. This go round, I'm down almost 20 lbs at my last apt (14 weeks then, and I can tell I've lost more since). I started both pregnancies overweight, so my doctor was really happy to see weight loss during pregnancy (assuming you're eating healthy when you can keep it down)
