almost 2nd trimester and still losing weight

i have been sick and vomiting since i found out i was pregnant at 4weeks im now 12weeks.
this isn't my first pregnancy btw but far my worst on sickness.
ive lost already 13-15lbs since the beginning, and still going down on weight.
worried because i know u need to gain at least 1lb a week.
doc says its ok to lose up to 20lbs.
can't eat much or drink without being neasious or vomiting. i have pills from doctor but makes me really tired and i got 3kids at home to take care of, and dont seem to help anyways much

Have you tried seabands? I have been using them and they work great also I have been taking extra B6. Both together seem to help alot. I dont know how early u eat but I hold off till about 0900 and I am able to keep everything down. If I eat before its game over. Good luck!

I had a lot if weight loss initially too and the no vomit pills. I decided not to worry about it unless the doctor mentioned it, and I finally asked too. They said I was doing fine and I had a similar concern about not gaining fast enough, and they have made no mention that I'm behind in any way. I think you'll be okay, just hang in there. I hope your vomiting goes away soon though, it really is the worst.
