Keep losing weight!

I am 15 weeks pregnant. According to all the stuff I'm reading online, I'm supposed to have gained 5 or 6 pounds by now-but I've LOST 6 pounds!
Is anyone else having this issue?

23 weeks myself and already down a good twenty.  As others have said, as long as Doctor says everything is fine, than its nothing to worry about. :D. I weighted less right before giving birth during my first pregnancy, than I did before I got pregnant. XD. I'm seeing the same thing happening this time. ^-^

With my first one I lost 16 lbs and had a healthy baby and was never sick. With this pregnancy was sick off and on and lost 10. So some people just lose weight instead of gaining.

I lost some lbs in the beginning of my pregnancy. I didn't know I was expecting until the end of my first trimester I also didn't have any nausea which they say contributes to weight loss while pregnant . I started going weight around 15-16 weeks so far I'm up 5 lbs I fluctuated some weeks it'll say I gained more lbs the the following week it will say I lost some and back to my total of 5 lbs for the whole pregnancy. My mom weight 260 lbs with my little sister and she lost around 30 lbs with her and my sister weighted 8 lbs plus

I lost about 8 from when I found out I was pregnant and have gained 3 back. I agree as long as the doctor says the baby is fine don't worry about it

I'm 17 weeks and 4 days and I haven't gained anything. I went to the doctor last week and he said everything looked perfect. You have nothing to worry about!

I am almost 16 weeks,and I have lost weight as well. But the baby is growing and looks healthy, so everything should be fine.

I lost 21 pounds. I have been so sick. I'm finally feeling better at 17 weeks and have stopped the weight loss. I'm only 150 pounds so 21 pounds was terrifying to loose

Me too I've lost about 5 pounds since I became pregnant I'm 16w3d I lost weight during my last pregnancy too but like the other ladies said as long as the baby is growing fine and you talk to your doctor everything will be fine. Last time I didn't start to gain weight until my 7th month and I only got back to my pre pregnancy weight

My sister lost 10 pounds total in her pregnancy, and had a healthy 7 lb baby! She was just to sick to ever keep anything down the whole time. Reading what you are supposed to do online is not always a good idea, talk to your doctor so they can reassure you that everything is fine!

As long as the baby is growing as expected you shoul be ok. I lost weight too and my doctor says it's fine. I hope i'll start gaining soon.
