18 weeks prego and no weight gain

so i'm 18 weeks pregnant, everything seems to be going fine, but i haven't gained any weight at all. i actually lost half a pound. i'm eating normal and healthy and don't force myself to eat if i'm not hungry. my tummy sticks out a little so i'm assuming everything's going fine, but should i be concerned about not having gained any weight?

Well have you been sick lately?? My friend lost 15 lbs in the first 3 months then gained like 30 later. So she was super tiny. I really didn't start gaining weight till I was about 6 months. Still had a belly though. I'd say just start trying to eat a little bit MORE often. That's what I did most of the time. I eventually started to gain weight.
