No weight gain...

So I'm 18 weeks 3 days and am at my normal weight. I've been almost constantly sick from the time I got pregnant. For the first whole trimester it was nausea (no vomiting, just food aversion). Then since Christmas I've had a cold and now another cold and the last few days a stomach bug. I did gain 4lbs before having this stomach bug but now am back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
By the time I was 22 weeks with my son I gained 15lbs!! I feel so bad about this....

My last weight in at 18wks I was -2 lb. My belly has been growing bigger within the week so I think I might had gain a couples of pounds. My doctor is not worry at all since the ultrasound all look good. Plus there will be plenty of time to gain weight during the last two months.
And weight gain and baby size are not the same thing. My SIL gains at least 70lbs and the baby was a month early at 6 lbs.
So don't worry too much about it. Just eat healty and take your vitamins.

Don't worry I'm 26 weeks and have only gained 1 pound and my baby girl is developing great. I have been sick a lot too and will have my gallbladder removed 4 weeks after she's born.

Don't worry about it. I'm 23 weeks no sickness at all and I've only gained 2 lbs.  I'm expecting to gain more towards the end. But everything is fine. I'm healthy and eating every 2-3 hours(something small) and baby is healthy perfect size and very active.

I'm at 25wks and I had gained 8 lbs... I lost 5 over the last 2 wks, but nothing changed.... weird.  but the Dr says baby is getting bigger I'm just getting smaller.  So as long as he says I'm good I guess its ok.

Thank you ladies. So many people tell me not to worry but I just can't help it sometimes. I guess I shouldn't compare this pregnancy with my last one because they aren't alike at all. I just want to have a healthy baby. My first was 9lbs 3oz. Although I would be happy with a smaller baby, I just want it to have the nutrition it needs.
I can already feel it kicking and it's pretty active at times so that is a plus.

Don't worry about it. I lost over 30 lbs with my son and never gained it all back. And now with my daughter at 30 weeks I had lost 20ish pounds and was slowly gaining it back and between my appt yesterday and 2 weeks ago I lost 2 pounds. As long as your dr isn't concerned and you're not at a super low weight to begin with everything should be fine.
