I've actually LOST like 5 or 6 lbs!!! darn it.. And I rented a DOPPLER from babybeats

Ok so I have been sick this entire last week. Yesterday evening I got on the scale because I was HOPING that I'd at least stayed the same or gained a lb. When I can eat I do. and I eat alot so I get not only my calories but my nutrients.
I'm still taking all my vitamins and Xtra folic acid. but the scale last night said I'm around 164-165!!! I was 170 a week ago.
I haven't gone 24 hrs not being able to eat or drink. if that happens I'll go to the hospital. But It's wierd how I lost that much weight and am still averaging 1 meal a day (when I can I go for 3! and a couple snacks)

My main goal is just to gain my minimum of 15 lbs. That's all I gained with TJ and the last 7 lbs was in the last month!!! he was born early due to no fluid because I couldn't keep my fluid levels up. I don't want that again this time.

Oh... and I rented a doppler from Babybeats. I'll have it in 3 days!  Currently I'm 9w4d.

I love my doppler I rented one from bellybeats probably the same kind you have. It worked at 10 weeks for me, but it was a little hard to find the hb some days so don't get discouraged.

Yea I'm trying to get plenty of fluids. It's actual fat/tissue weight. I've dropped weight around my upper middle area. It's noticeable.

I drink as much of fluids as I can a day.

Weight loss can be quite normal during early pregnancy especially if you have bad nausea/vomiting.

Make sure you are getting plenty of fluids.  Sudden weight loss (5 or so Ibs/week) is most likely water loss and you dont want to get too dehydrated.  You need a minimum of about 64 oz/day.
