I'm worried (weight question)

I haven't gained anything, I actually weigh less then before I was 165 but before I knew i was pregnant I got up to 170. Now I'm 19 weeks 2morrow and I'm 160. I throw up a lot!!! Its horrible!! my doctor knows and no pills r really working because it has alot to do with smells and sometimes just eating. I don't eat alot for example: today I had a bacon sandwich sum tea a coke and cake ball all of that came back up. I then ate Mac and cheese and a piece of bread so far so good on that one. I'm not really showing either, but baby's is ok from what the doctor says. I'm not use to this my first pregnancy was easy and I gained 20 pounds. Is this OK? My Dr doesn't say much about it when I say anything. I'm a little worried.

Listen my pre-pregnancy weight was 152. I lost 16 pounds. When I was 29 weeks I weighed 155 and that was when I finally went over my pre-pregnancy weight. I am now 30 weeks and finally am 159. It took me a long time to gain it back. My doctors were not worried about it.

I have been experiencing this same thing. I lost ten lbs shortly after getting pregnant, not bc of morning sickness but bc  of stress. And then I didn't barely gain anything back for months. When i expressed my concern the doctor looked through my chart and noticed a pattern of my uterus meassuring a little smal and schedueled a sono just in case. The sono came baxk and even though i was small and had little weight gain my baby girl actually meassured just a tiny bit bigger than they had expected. They still keep an eye on it but everything is fine.I am right about 31 weeks now and I just started gaining weight two weeks ago. I am even starting to catch up in measurements as weel. Don't worry you'll both be fine.

I wouldn't worry about it as long as your doctor isn't. I lost 16 lbs and have only gained about 8, I'm almost 30 weeks!

Yeah I've tried the cracker thing and some other things but my nausea is not giving in. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have this the whole time. Plus my neighbors smoke weed 24/7 a lot of it and the smell makes me puke every time I smell it. I'm seriously miserable. I dk what to do. I'm so frustrated.

If the doctor is not worried then I wouldn't be too worried, although I know that is easier said than done. The baby will take what it needs from you, and that could make you lose weight if you are so sick. My mom always said that eating a couple saltine crackers first thing in the morning before she thought about sitting up in bed helped her nausea for most of the day.
