Weight gain

I have just reached 14 weeks and after losing 1.5kg's during week 6-8 from morning sickness I haven't gained any weight since. Has anyone else had slow/no weight gain early on? My belly feels bigger but the scales tell me otherwise!

Same here.  Very little weight gain early on.  Don't worry.  Baby is getting what s/he needs.  I'm at 38 wks and have gained much less than I did with my first preg.  Was very ill which was no fun.  Almost there now!

I am 12 weeks pregnant and I was 117 pounds last week, today I weight 112 pounds!
I just don't feel as much hungry then before.
I do eat every day all my meals! For some reason can't eat meat any more!

I lost in the beginning from being so sick.  I had to take Zofran to keep anything down. It took until 16 weeks to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  At 20 weeks I was up 4 lbs. At my last appointment, at 32 weeks, I was up 20lbs.  I wouldn't be concerned.

At 14 weeks I had gained 1lb at 19'weeks a total of 12lbs and at 27 weeks had lost 1lb.  It seems to go up and down.  My dr wasn't concerned at all with the first trimester. Due to morning sickness it can be very common.
