not gaining weight

[tcakes]

I'm 16 weeks and weighed around 120 when I first found out I was pregnant I've lost about 6 or 7 pounds and am worried its going to affect the baby I'm not really eating that much. Is the baby ok?

I had also lost weight probably stress or body changes I didnt starting gaining weight until I was 20 Weeks just make sure you take your prenatal vitamins and when you do eat have something healthy

I lost 10 lbs in the beginning, at 20 weeks I was still 1 lb under my pre-pregnancy weight. I am now 28 weeks and have gained 10lbs so i wouldn't worry as long as your baby is growing like its supposed to then the Doctors usually don't worry. I was also throwing up daily til about 18 weeks and could hardly eat anything

Lots of women lose earlier on in pregnancy, especially in the first trimester.  Unless it's dramatic weight loss, baby is probably just fine.  They take what they need first, you get the leftovers.  I'm sure your Dr. is aware and will keep an eye on the situation.  Don't worry so much about how much your eating, just do your best to make sure it's as healthy as possible.  Also, that prenatal vitamin is really important.  Congrats on your pregnancy!
