Major weight loss.

I have a question I'm a ftm and I'm 16 weeks and 2 days, I have lost over 15 pounds and I'm still not gaining. I haven't been getting sick to the point of not being able to eat, I feel like I eat all the time! Is there any way to put on weight, I'm just scared the baby isn't getting enough nutrients.

I lost 42lb 5.3oz between week 2-12 iv now put back on 13lb. I had server morning sickness and  food aversions i found cinnamon was a big help with the nausea and meant i was able to eat a little each day. I have around 12 meals a day each meal is only 2-4 mouthfuls of food. You should have a mix of healthy foods and a little junk food. Make shore you take your parental vitetmans and do light exercise  everyday

The baby is getting every thing he or she needs then you get the rest. If baby is ok and growing fine then maybe you could have a metabolism that works to fast. Lol.
