You may have high metabolism;that's when your body digests food quickly so you gain little weight,or your hormones could be changing...that happens when you're pregnant.Almost all the hormones and functions in your body are affected during pregnancy.But you shouldn't try to lose weight during pregnancy because of all the nutrients your baby needs. Although,eating healthy is essential to your health and your baby's.

are you trying not to gain weight or are you wondering how it is possible that you aren't gaining weight? If it's the former, that's just not a good idea without strict supervision by your OB. If it's the latter, it's not that uncommon to lose weight during pregnancy. I've had a couple friends who lost weight while pregnant because 1) they had the weight to lose 2) they started eating better and 3) they had morning sickness so bad during the first trimester. I
If you're concerned about gaining too much weight (the first scenario) just find a diet that is safe during pregnancy and watch what you eat. You dont have to eat twice as much just because there's two of you.

from your question I am guessing you're losing weight while pregnant and you're wondering why. if you are nauseous and vomitting, that would cause you to lose weight. Don't worry about it you'll gain it back during the second trimester. Also, a baby burns up to 300 calories so you need to increse your caloric intake by about 300 calories daily. If you're inquiring how to lose weight while being pregnant, this is not the time to be calorie counting. but rather you should focus on the quality of your calories. Good luck!

you are probably in the beginning of your pregnancy. i guess it could be because you burn more calories being pregnant.
most women gain a lot of weight because of cravings and because they give in to those cravings.
