I'm only 8 weeks pregnant, and have not yet had my first appointment with my doctor. My concern is that in weighing daily I've noticed I have not gained a single pound (still at 108) ( I'm 5'4 by the way ). Ive been eating as many small meals a day as I can hold down, usually ( breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner ). Should I have gained weight by now, or is morning sickness preventing any gain? Ive also noticed that even when I'm not hungry but know I need to eat I'm unable to because I'm nauseated, do I eat anyway, even though I know I wont be able to hold it down? How can I be sure I'm eating enough/the right porportions? The crazy thing is my abdomen is swollen so I look like Ive gained weight, but havent. I've been told that 2-4 lbs is acceptable for the first few months, but does that mean I should have gained weight already or what? I'm sorry if I sound ignorant, this is my first pregnancy and I'm so lost and want to be sure so any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
