Wrong with you? Yeah - all us pregnant & formerly pregnant women HATE you!! LOL
No, there's nothing wrong. As long as you are doing everything you're supposed to be doing, and eating a healthy well-balanced diet, there's nothing wrong at all!
Be thankful - it will make the post-partum portion of your life SO much simpler!

Everyone is different, but know what you mean after hearing co-workers and friends say they gained 60lbs during their pregnancy and makes you worried that you are not.
As long as you are eating right and the doctor is not concerned, don't be worried about it. I lost weight at the beginning of my pregnancy and did not gain much even towards the end (17 pounds total, mostly in the last 8 weeks) and ended up weighing less after my son was born than before I was pregnant with him. He was born a happy, healthy 8lb 7oz baby boy.

how much weight YOU are gaining is not nearly as important as how much weight the baby is gaining. If your morning sickness was that bad what most likely happend was that the baby was not getting enough nutrients and your body made up for it by turning stores of fat (no i am not calling you fat, every healthy weight person has fat stores) into food and nutrients for the baby, resulting in weight loss for you, weight gain for baby. As long as your doctor says the baby is growing you have nothing to worry about.

It is important that you discuss this with your doc fully. But since you have spoken to him and he says it is fine, then don't worry to much. I lost 15 lbs in the begining because of morning sickness and gallstones.
The last 6 weeks of my pregnancy were an entirely different story! Just make sure that you are getting lots and lots and lots of protien. Eggs, dairy, and meat, as well as cousecouse, the morning star beef crumbles, ect.
Also try using wheat germ in your baking and cooking, it has tons of fiber and protien as well as essential fatty acids. And always remember, french fries do not count as a vegetable!

i have 2 kids a boy and a girl. with my son i didn't gain anything until my last month and everything was ok. with my little girl i was sick did not eat anything month 2 and 3 i was so sick i couldn't hold anything down. the doctor told me that even if i dont eat my unborn child will take everything from my body to support her. so if the doctor say everything is ok just trust him or her. my little girl is doing just fine. she came out healthy. stop stressing about it because that is something that will hurt your unborn child. congrads and good luck

If the doctor says youre ok then you probably are. Everyones bodies react differently to pregnancy. As long as you're eating healthy and keeping in shape then there shouldn't be a problem..

NO, it's very common for a woman to loose weight during the first trimester of her pregnancy,don't worry your baby is getting what it needs from you just be sure to keep eating good and take prenatal vitamins!Good luck!
