I lost 15lbs in the first trimester, and didn't hit my pre-pregnancy weight until like 33wks. My final weight gain total was 19lbs, which was only 4lbs above my pre-preg weight. I had major food aversions to pretty much everything. I was nauseous all of the way through, and threw up a couple times a week until the end. I pretty much lived on peanut butter sandwiches.

We always measured on track, though, so my midwife wasn't concerned. Especially during the first trimester, when everything pretty much sucks. I had no energy for anything. I used to fall asleep in the car all of the time (as a passenger), which I can never do...once while holding a cake! Hopefully once you get into the second trimester you'll start to feel a bit better.

Anyway, I gave birth to a super healthy 8lb, 12oz baby. My midwife told me we were a textbook case of a fetus taking exactly what they need from the mother.

I lost weight until about 16 weeks (awful morning sickness), then didn't actually gain anything until about 20 weeks. By the end of my pregnancy, I gained 22lbs total. I measured a little small most of the time, but LO was born at 41 weeks, totally healthy at 7lbs4oz

Just echoing a lot of what @lovehoneybee said- I couldn't make myself eat hardly anything until the 16 week mark. I'm now 25weeks, and just hit my pregnancy weight at yesterday's appointment. As long as the baby is growing as normal there is nothing to worry about.

Also, I totally remember feeling like the nausea would never end- I promise it will! And when it does, you'll be hungryyyyyyyy.

Sorry you're not feeling well, I hope it gets better soon!

Bumping this thread.

I'm not sick and I'm eating when I'm hungry but I've lost a pound or 2 and am not showing at all. I have food aversions so nothing sounds good but I still eat with my DH and ds. I'm just 15 weeks so I guess I'm just wondering when to worry. I gained 35 lbs with my first and was clearly showing at 17 weeks but he's always been big. I was nursing but we stopped about 3 weeks ago
