hi there,
first of all perhaps you should get an ultrasound to make sure the bub's ok. then STOP worrying about it. you might just end up with a smaller than avarage baby which doesnt mean anything as long as sh'e healthy. i'had a 6.12lb little girl, my sister in-law had a 5lb baby a few weeks after me, now they're 2 giant healthy toddlers. size doesnt matter as long as he/she is healty (though i know it doesnt help when people keep telling you how tiny you are, i remember being in tears a number of times for that reason!)
try eating all sorts different things, you'll eventually find out a few things your tummy will agree with and in the mean time make sure to use a very good recomended multivitamins (dont get just any stuff!)
last but not least remember stress is the worst thing, so let your body do its thing and get plenty of rest!
good luck!!

There is no such thing as how big you are supposed to be. Each woman's body is different and it is the same thing while pregnant. As long as the baby is growing fine and you are healthy then your size is probably fine.
Try to snack throughout the day, maybe that will help. I know I have odd eating habits too but as long as you are getting all the nutrients you need and you feel fine, all should be ok. Talk to your doctor if you are still concerned.

Well if your baby is not as big as he/she should be, maybe your dates are off. I was measuring too large and we cfound out that my dates were off by 2 weeks.
Eat at night, when you are hungry. Your body is not going to starve your child, babies are very selfish and will take what they need weather you have it to give or not. When you do eat, make sure to make healthy choices, eat things that are good for you and the baby, and besure you are taking a prental vitiman, and if you cant stomach them talk to your dr, I have heard of dr's either perscribing something else or having the mom to be take another multivitiman or even a flinstones vitiman.
I assume that by you not eating during the day it is because you are still having bouts of morning sickness... ease it with crackers, dry toast and tea (decaff).
Hope this helps!

It would be easier to answer if I knew how 'big' you are, but...
Normally, after twenty weeks, the fundal height [ top of the uterus ] measures the same numer in centimeters above your suprapubic bone as you are in weeks. For instance, 28 weeks = 28 centimeters above the top of the pubic bone.
If it is off by more than 2 centimeters, they will probably order an ultrasound to check the baby's well-being.
Have you been gaining weight? [ by now, you should have gained between 16-18 pounds.]
Don't worry about when you eat, as long as you can eat and are gaining weight properly.
