not gaining weight

I am 11 weeks 6 days and I'm 2 lbs lighter than I started.  Is this normal? Everything  I have read says I should've gained a couple lbs and should begin to steadily gain weight from here on out. Should I worry?

I've been having severe ms since 4-5 weeks pregnant and I'm 10 weeks now. I've lost a couple of pounds to due to my ms. Doctor says it's OK as long as I'm still trying to eat and still drinking as well as taking my prenatal vitamins.

I'm 30 weeks and about 10lbs below where I started. As long as baby is growing well that's all that matters. They take what they need from you.
