Typical weight gain during the first trimester is about five pounds, but many women lose or are unable to gain any weight due to nausea. Studies of women with severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy confirm that the babies do well despite maternal weight loss.
In a study published in the British Medical Journal (Feb 17, 1996) by Godfrey, "Maternal nutrition in early and late pregnancy in relation to placental and fetal growth," research demonstrated that carbohydrate and protein intake during early and late pregnancy may have specific and differing effects.
Here is an interesting excerpt from this article: "High carbohydrate intakes in early pregnancy were associated with low placental and birth weights. Although this seems paradoxical, in sheep farming it is common practice for ewes to be put on rich pasture before they are mated and then on poor pasture for a period in early pregnancy. Experimental studies in farm animals suggest that the scientific basis of this practice may lie partly in stimulation of placental growth by undernutrition in early pregnancy. Similar effects may occur in humans."
As long as you are eating a well balanced diet and getting all of food groups in appropriate quantities, you and your baby should be fine. Weight gain is only a small indication of nutrition. An ultrasound will also reveal whether growth and development are on track and should help to put your mind at ease.

As long as your baby is growing and the doctor didn't say anything you should be fine. How tall are you? I'm overweight and I lost 16 pounds with my 1st the 1st half of my pregnancy and only gained back those 16 pounds the last few months as my daughter grew. I'm 21 weeks pregnant with #2 and have lost 8 pounds so far and my doctor is very pleased. I'm sure I'll gain some of that back as most likely you will too.

As long as the baby is healthy it should be fine. With my first pregnancy I went from 155 to 120 in like 2 weeks. I got so sick I couldn't hold down anything not even water. I was in the hospital 3 times with dehydration. After the baby was born I gained it all back and then some, same with the second pregnancy but didn't lose as much. But both of my kids turned out fine.

It's good you're losing weight, that way you won't go up to 200 lbs
