Well I think if your doctor thinks it's okay it should be okay.

I'm kind of overweight and I lost 20 lbs due to m/s and my doctor was not worried at all.

An OB friend of mine said yeah loosing weight is normal and they definitely don't worry about if the women is a bit overwieght because the baby will take what it needs from the mom. That being said... if you are underweight they do worry and my OB friends has hopsitalized women that were underweight and not gaining weight but those are extreme cases and the one she mentioned to me was a pregnant mom that was under 90 lbs and was hopsitalized for the last 2-3 months and put on an IV because no matter what she did... she couldn't gained weight... I believe she had a weird condition.

So... basically saying... talk to your OB! Haha. Also don't worry!

I lost about 25 lbs during the first fri. Don't worry! Make your doctor aware, but as long as they aren't concered, you shouldn't be!

@MrsADS: I can't remember if I already asked you, but have you tried the Unisom tabs? Right now I'm on a high dosage of Unisom (prescription is Dyclegis in the US), plus Zofran, plus I just got a new script from my OB for Reglan.

Last pregnancy I was miserable and totally incapacitated for 4 months and I just can't do it again with a toddler to take care of on top of a full time job. So I've vowed to throw every (safe) medication I can at the problem and so far, it's really helping. I'm still sick 24/7, but I'm having fewer aversions than last time and I'm way more functional. And I'm not throwing up.

If you have an underweight bmi I'd try to push past the nausea and get more calories. Or try and drink an ensure. Avocados or coconuts have lots of calories packed in.
