11wks not gaining weight.normal??

I started overweight with this pregnancy. It is my first baby. I'm already 11wks but haven't gained weight. I started with 171.0 lbs now still 171.. is that normal? Or am I just losing a lot of fluids from my body due to frequent urination?  Thanks!

Thanks ladies! So good to read your comments. I appreciate it a A LOT! :)) I guess there's nothing to  worry about. Just lose all the excessive lbs after this pregnancy is all! :)

I'm 25+5 and I have only gained 4 lbs so it's normal! It all depends on your body

I weighed 137lbs pre pregnancy. I never lost any weight at first, but I also didn't gain anything until i hit 19w. Now I'm pretty much where I should be weight wise (27w+3d).

I'm 30 weeks and havent gained any weight. I have lost 7 lbs though. I weighed 208 and am down to 201. My midwife told me that was fine and if I lost weight it wasnt going to hurt me or my baby since i weighed so much.

I'm almost 18 wks and I've LOST 7 pounds! With my.first pregnancy I lost 10 pounds before I had any weight gain and both pregnancies have been perfectly healthy without complications. Morning sickness, food adversion, debilitating headache, there are plenty of things that may curb your appetite right now. Don't worry, those pounds will find you and your doctor will let you know if there is any concerns about low weight gain. Good luck!!!

It tottaly normal. Lots of women may loose weight is the first trimester do to morning sickness, food adversion, ect... I eat alot during the day, something almost every half hr. and when I went to the docs a couple days ago I had only gained 2lbs. U dont need to gain a ton of weight, ur doc will tell u whats healthy for u to gain. And make sure u eat lots more healthy foods than just junky and fast food.  Good luck!

It's normal not to gain weight right away. Your body is making sure that baby is getting all that it needs. I lost weight when I was first pregnant because I had really bad food aversion. I'm 39 weeks now and it's definitely caught up to me! haha
