underweight?

I am 15 weeks pregnant and I only weight 50 kg (I'm from Belgium so sorry for these measurements). Im 160 cm tall and before pregnancy I was around 48 kg. For the last 2 weeks I've been struggling to get at 50
My dr says he prefers me to be like this than to gain 5 kg a month but I'm still worried. I eat healthy foods, lots of fruits and veggies 3 times a day + extra 2 or more serves of greens etc a day and my vitamins. I don't want to gain lots of weight but I want to be healthy for my baby. I really hope I'm not going to be an underweight mummy with a tiny babybump :) and a tiny baby

Ladies, thank you for sharing this with me. I've lost a few kg during the first trimester but now I'm getting back on track. My ob always says baby is absolutely normal.

And if you lost weight due to morning sickness like I did, you should also be fine. I still weigh less than I did before I was pregnant.

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I've only gained 3 pounds( a little less than 1.5 kg ) I barely have a tummy and I definitely don't look pregnant. At my 20 week sonogram they did all if my baby girl's measurements and she is actually bigger than average and developing just fine! They said she's just all tucked up in my belly! She was about 23 centimeters from head to heel. And weighed almost 1 pound! As long as your taking either prenatal vitamins or drinking herbalife shakes, and eating well you should have absolutely nothing to worry about! If your doctor or midwife isn't concerned then you should be fine.
