losing weight

I'm 11 weeks and I've lost 7kg because I have been vomiting so much. Is this okay?

Some days I feel like I can't look after my 3yo son. Midwife just keeps saying you'll get better soon and doctor keeps prescribing different pills.

I used to be 103 lbs. Now i lost 3 lbs..im very worried im not gonna gain.... since i got preggy, i started hating veggies too. Although now my nausea is going away, i felt like hopeless that i wont gain weight at all. But i can eat fruits...just not veggies..

So sorry to hear you're unwell. You will have good and bad days, as long as you take advantage of the good days (eating well), you should be fine. Try eating dry things like toast/crackers...take small sips of water/juice to keep hydrated. Ensure you do not dehydrate as this is not good for you and baby. If you think something isn't right, you need to get in touch with your doctor so that other methods can be employed. 7kg is a bit to lose and if you're not keeping anything down, then you might not be getting enough nutrients. Hope you feel better real soon but if you're suffering, go to the emergency, at least there they could put you on a drip to keep you hydrated I guess.
