still no weight gain

Just wondering when do you usually start gaining weight? I'm not very far along - only 7 weeks - but I've actually lost 2kg (about 4lbs) since being pregnant.. is this normal? I'm not over exercising - I'm eating healthy, but a lot of food, and although I've had nausea I haven't been sick at all.

Thank you all =]

I'm 10 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. I lost 25 with my daughter and 15 with son. I never started gaining weight until 14 or 15 weeks. As long as baby is growing and not being deprived of nutrients u should be fine.

Most weight gain happens later in the pregnancy. In the first trimester most women will gain nothing, and many lose weight. Once the hormones settle down and you feel better, you will start to gain. Some women however never gain weight. I lost 25 pounds with my daughter and weighed less than my pre-pregnancy weight when I went to give birth.

I gained a little bit in the first trimester but so far in the second i haven't gained a thing.  I think each person is different.   The Dr said it's perfectly normal... they can tell that the baby is getting bigger but I'm getting smaller... I'm really not to upset over that deal.

You dont normally gain weight until the second trimester. it is very common to loose weight in the first trimester. You'll probably start gaining weight after 12 weeks.
