Losing weight in early pregnancy??

Im a first time mum to be, almost 7 weeks pregnant and been getting weighed for last 3 weeks and lost 1lb each week. Is this normal please? Thought even if I wasnt putting weight on yet, I wouldn't be weighing less. I have a normal appetite and no morning sickness

This is my second, I started at 145, dropped to 125 in the first trimester and am now at 130. Currently 23 weeks along. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be gaining but all exams have shown that my boy is right on track.

I'm 11 weeks and have lost 10 pounds since being pregnant due to nausea and vomiting. I just had my ob appointment and my Dr said it was fine. she said most women don't gain until the second trimester. just let your ob know so they are aware.

I lost weight from the vomiting/nausea.  I'm 18+2 and I've only gained 4 pounds total.  My midwife said it was fine for me.  Ask your midwife at your first appointment.

with all four of my pregnancies I list weight in the first trimester. My doctore said that if I gained no weight at all but the baby was healthy was all that mattered.
