weight gain

I am 12 weeks today and I have not gained any weight.  I have actually been losing weight and also my stomach is still flat. Does this mean that something is wrong?  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I agree with posters.  /this is pretty common for the first trimester and with first babies, one often doesn't show for a good while.  I was about 17 weeks before I started showing anything.  Miss those flat abs.  Because then with my second baby, bam.  I showed right away.  

So, enjoy the flat tummy.  Unless your doc is worried about a weight loss, I think you'll be fine and all will start showing up (weight and baby bump) soon enough.  good luck

I'm 19 weeks and I haven't gained any weight, I've lost 15 pounds actually from morning sickness. This is common, your baby is taking the nutrients from your body, everything is fine.
