I dont know what is happening with you, but if it makes you feel a little better i will tell you what is happening with me. I will be 27 weeks on thursday and i havent been feeling too good all way through this pregnancy. First of all i have lost 1st 11lb upto now and i am still having very bad morning sickness, i had 3 bleeds at the beggining of my pregnancy but i am feeling a lot better now, my baby is doing really well and doctors and midwifes say they are very pleased with me and baby. I wouldnt worry if you are feeling well  and your little one is ok then you should be fine a lot of women loose weight during pregnancy

With my first pregnancy I did the same thing.  Infact I didn't gain anything right off, then a pound here and there and then I would loose it again.  I didn't gain anything until oh 20 weeks or so.  That month I gained 10 lbs and it continued climbing after that, by the time I gave birth I gained 50 lbs.  Yes 50 in the last 4 months.  It sucked too!

With the growing baby some women tend to feel full faster. Have you had morning sickness? I lost 6lbs. because of it and as the baby got bigger I just ate less. If your Dr isn't worried about it, I wouldn't. My Dr said he would let me know if my weight loss got to be a problem. I'm 29w2d and I'm starting to put it back on. I'm sure you're fine

I think it is pretty common to lose weight at the beginning.  For one, muscle weights more that fat.  Not that you are fat by any means but your muscles are probably relaxing.  Also, the baby is feeding off you.  So if you are still eating the same that would explain it.  Another thing that is common is if you drink alcohol and you stopped once you found out you were prego, that is a biggy too!
